Vanity case

A synthetic resin-made vanity case comprising:

• a receptacle member for containing a cosmetic material therein;
• a cover member hinged with said receptacle at the rear end thereof;
• a first latching protrusion integrally formed with said corner cover member;
• a second latching protrusion integrally formed with said receptacle member for engagement with said first latching protrusion by snap action when said cover member is closed over said receptacle member;
• and
• an unlatch member disposed in either one of said receptacle member and said cover member;
• characterized in that said unlatch member is formed to an angular shape including a substantially horizontally extended portion and a substantially vertically extended portion;
• said unlatch member is housed in a rectangular recess formed in either one of said receptacle member and said cover member and is pivotably connected at the angular corner thereof to said receptacle or cover member;
• and that said unlatch member is so arranged that when one of said extended portions is pressed to have said unlatch member pivot about said angular corner, the other of said extended portions acts on a flat surface of the other of said cover member and said receptacle member so as to force said cover member away from said receptacle member, thereby releasing engagement between said first and second latching protrusions and moving said cover member to an open position.
