ABSTRACT:
A hinge mechanism for joining a lid of a box with a fixed member and allowing the lid to pivot relative to the fixed member includes a rod and a guiding member which guides the movement of the rod. The rod is secured to the lid. The guiding member is secured to the fixed member which is fixed relative to the box. The lid is placed on a substantially horizontal top hem portion of the box and has a lower peripheral edge portion thereof which is in contact with the top hem portion and located near the fixed member and serves as a fulcrum of the pivotal movement of the lid. The guiding member has an envelope portion thereof for defining an enclosed space for receiving the rod therein. The enclosed space is so sized as to allow the rod to slide smoothly therein.
