Abstract

A container includes a cover secured on a base for receiving an insert and a casing disposed on one of the corners of the base for slidably receiving a knob. A latch is slidably engaged in the base for being biased to engage with the insert and for retaining the insert in place. The knob includes a tapered surface for disengaging the latch from the insert and for allowing the container to be operated with only one hand. The knob can be prevented from being depressed inward of the cover inadvertently when a number of containers are stacked with each other.
