Abstract

In a vanity case including a receptacle, a cover hinged with the receptacle and latch members for maintaining the cover in a closed position, a push piece is provided which is slidably movable along the longitudinal direction of the vanity case. The push piece has a center opening and an arm swingably connected to a rear wall defining the center opening, the arm having a portion extending forwardly from the rear wall and adjacent at least one of the receptacle and cover in the closed position. A stationary abutment is provided for, upon rearward movement of the push piece, abutting against the arm and causing it to swing relative to the rear wall with the front portion of the arm moving in the center opening, thereby forcing the receptacle and cover away from each other.
