ABSTRACT:
A storage apparatus includes a container body, a lid member with an arm, a shaft, an urging member, and a slot. The container body has a top opening. The lid member opens and closes the top opening of the container body, and is held swingably to the container body. The arm extends downward from the lid member. The shaft supports the arm pivotably to the container body, and is fitted into the slot so as to pivotably hold the arm. The urging member urges the lid member upward. The slot extends up-and-downward. Moreover, the container body further has a receiver. The receiver is brought into contact with the lid member so as to support the lid member when the pivotably-supporting shaft moves relatively within the slot so as to move the lid member downward. Therefore, the arm and pivotably-supporting shaft hardly deform because no excessive load acts onto them.
