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 recess is formed in the marginal portion of the receptacle and is defined by an inner wall and side walls. An unlatching member includes an upper end and a body having a lower end, the upper end being connected to the cover at a position corresponding to the recess in such a manner as to permit the body to swing about the upper end, and the body extending downwardly to close the recess with the lower end abutting the inner wall of the recess when the cover is in the closed position. A slant surface is formed on at least one of the inner wall and the lower end, whereby an inwardly directed pressure to the body causes the cover to move upwardly.
