Abstract
A vanity case comprises a receptacle member, a cover member hinged with the receptacle member and urged to an open position relative to the receptacle, and a slide element disposed in a concave portion of the receptacle. The slide element has a nose and a first hook portion formed on the inner top end of the nose, the first hook being engageable with a second hook portion formed on the lower surface of the cover. The slide element also has a rear extension extending into a recess formed at the rear end of the receptacle, and when the rear extension is pushed forwardly the engagement between the first and second hooks is released by the forward movement of the first hook thereby opening the cover. A means for normally holding the slide element in the rearmost position is provided.
