To obtain a container having a structure allowing a cover to be easily turned at the end of the container and allowing the container to stand upright without removing the cover in the state of including the lid as part of the container.

The container has such a structure wherein the cover is made to come to a standstill when it slides to the side part of the external box of the container body, while the inner portion of the side part of the cover has a structure which makes the cover come to a standstill by contacting a cover-fixing structure provided on the outer portion of the side part of the container body when the cover is slid thereto. The cover-fixing structure provided on the outer portion of the container body and the stopping structure provided in the inner portion of the side part of the cover are capable of rotating mutually at the end of the container so that the cover can be slid downward. Furthermore, the cover can be arranged to have such a structure that the cover is made to come to a standstill at a right angle with the container body. Further, the cover can be made to come to a standstill at any optional angle by tightening to some extent the rotating portions of the container body and the cover.
