Abstract

A container includes a container body and a container cover. The container cover includes a cover seat, a door panel and an induction actuation arrangement. The cover seat has an accessing window communicating with a container cavity. The door panel is pivotally coupling with the cover seat to move between a closed position and an opened position. The induction actuation arrangement includes an induction unit supported by the cover seat for detecting a presence of an object approaching the cover seat within a detection area of the induction unit, and an actuation unit driving the door panel between the closed position and the opened position.
