To provide a cap-like body for carrying chopsticks, which is not bulky to be carried, and whose rigidity is raised to easily open the cap-like body in a closed state.
The freely openable cap-like body 10 is formed, where a front surface half part 11 and a back half part 12 are connected to be freely opened and closed via a durable and a hinge connection part 13 having a shaft with a distinct fulcrum position. A click stopper 14 is molded simultaneously with the arrangement of the hinge connection part 13. Consequently, the whole board thickness is increased so as to raise rigidity, and engagement/locking is improved between the hinge connection part 13 and the click stopper 14. Especially the cap-like body is hard to open, thus, a catch tongue piece 11A is provided to facilitate inserting the chopsticks T, T from an opening R1, obtaining a wedge effect, and also easily releasing the cap-like body 10 from the closed state.
