Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved structure for an accessory container and in particular to one comprising an inverted U-shaped top cover having pimples mounted at the inner edge of the cover. The pimples may slide within the grooves of the container. The extreme end of each groove has an oval-shaped slot. The top cover can slide within the grooves of the container in which the grooves are positioned on the lateral sides of the container. With the slots and pimples defining a hinge, the top cover can be overturned angularly for 180 degrees and lay just directly below the container. The top cover has the advantage of preventing dust from contacting the accessory and at the same time, it can be disposed under the container. Hence, this assembly does not occupy much space. By providing an arrangement including dimples, pimples and grooves, the pimples of the top cover may slide within the grooves if the top cover is pushed in a planar direction by means of a pushing grip. The lateral sidewall of the container is marked with a measuring scale for measuring the length of the accessory.
