Abstract
A vanity case includes a receptacle member, a tray and a cover member all hinged together at the rear ends thereof, and latch members formed on the receptacle member and the cover member for maintaining the tray and the cover member in a closed position. A hole is formed through the marginal portion of the tray for permitting the latch members to engage each other therein, and a cutout is formed in the marginal portion of the receptacle member, the cutout being defined by an inner wall and side walls. A push piece includes an upper end and a body having a lower end, the upper end being secured to the tray in such a manner as to permit at least the body to move inwardly while the body extends downwardly to close the cutout with the lower end abutting the inner wall when the vanity case is in the closed position. A slant surface is formed on at least one of the inner wall and the lower end, whereby a force applied to the body causes the tray and cover member to move upwardly with respect to the receptacle member.
