The frame also includes a bridge portion bridging the arm portions and a support member protruding from the bridge portion and having an end supported by the container. A pair of notches are formed midway of the arm portions and opposing the container for enhancing buckling of the arm portions when a load heavier than a predetermined level is applied to the frame from the lid. The support member may be supported to the container by means of a pin or bolt such that it is released, when the load heavier than a predetermined level is applied, from the pin or bolt to move in the direction of the load.
