Abstract

The fastener container in the present invention includes a lid and a receptacle base as main components combined together. Said lid has a first section and a second section which are connected by a hinge. This invention used the first prominent portion with flexible cushioning effect and the pressing member of the first prominent portion of the first section, and the blocking member and the third recess of the second prominent portion of the second section to reduce the wear and tear between the pressing member and the blocking member, it also can prevent the pressing member from squeezing the blocking member for a long time to result in a problem that the pressing member and the blocking member are deformed and the first section can not be held in the open position, so that the service life of the lid can be extended and the user can easily open or close the first section of the lid to take or place screws or other items.

Claims (16)

1. A fastener container at least comprising:

a lid made of elastic material and a receptacle base, wherein:

said lid has a first section and a second section which are connected by a hinge; the periphery of said first section and second section are respectively provided with a first circumferential wall and a second circumferential wall;

a first inner circumference is provided inside the first circumferential wall of the first section, and a first groove is formed between the first circumferential wall and the first inner circumference, a first recess is set on the inner surface of said first circumferential wall; a second inner circumference is provided inside the second circumferential wall of the second section, and a second groove is formed between the second circumferential wall and the second inner circumference, a second recess is set on the inner surface of said second circumferential wall;

the first section of the lid has a first prominent portion, a curved long groove is provided on the rear side of the first prominent portion and parallel to said hinge, a pressing member is set on the rear side of the curved long groove, said curved long groove is used to provide the effect that the pressing member is elastically cushioned when the pressing member is pressed; the second section of the lid has a second prominent portion, a blocking member is provided on the front side of the second prominent portion and parallel to said hinge, a third recess is set below the blocking member, so that the pressing member passing through the blocking member can be confined in the third recess; the underside of the first prominent portion of the lid is provided with a tool holder; and

the receptacle base is made of elastic material, said receptacle base has a space and an annular side wall of the receptacle base is provided in conformance with the shape of the lid, an engaging circumference is set on the top of the receptacle base; the front side of said engaging circumference has a first engaging flange which is provided to match with said first recess, and the rear side of said engaging circumference has a second engaging flange which is provided to match with said second recess.

2. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said first reinforced ring and a second reinforced ring are separately set on the bottom of said first circumferential wall and second circumferential wall to strengthen the structural strength of the circumferential wall.

3. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said first groove and second groove of the lid are engaged with each other to form an annular groove.

4. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said pressing member is a rib.

5. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said pressing member is a plurality of spaced projections, the spaced projections allows the pressing member to be more easily pressed into the third recess.

6. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said tool holder is a V-shaped holder.

7. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said tool holder is a U-shaped holder.

8. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein a protrudent ring is provided between said annular side wall and engaging circumference to strengthen the structure of the receptacle base and to limit the final engaging position and depth of the lid.

9. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein the total length of the first engaging flange is less than the total length of the second engaging flange, so that the first section will be easier to open than the second section.

10. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said lid and receptacle base are made of plastic.

11. The fastener container according to claim 1 , wherein said lid and receptacle base are made of rubber.
