In a container having a lid member coupled to a container body by a hinge, the lid member has a top panel, and an inner ring formed on the top panel, the inner ring being fitted to an inner peripheral surface of a sidewall of the container body in a closed state to seal the container body. The inner ring has an outer peripheral surface on which an outer peripheral surface projection is formed along a circumferential direction, and the container body has an inner peripheral surface on which an inner peripheral surface projection is formed along the circumferential direction, in the vicinity of an end portion of the sidewall. When closing the lid member, the outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection to cause the lid member to be locked to the container body, with the inner ring sealing the container body.

1. A container, comprising: a cylindrical container body, and a lid member coupled to the container body by a hinge so as to be openable/closable relative to an opening portion of the container body,wherein the lid member has a top panel and an inner ring formed on the top panel, the inner ring being fitted to an inner peripheral surface of a sidewall of the container body in a closed state to seal the container body;wherein the inner ring has an outer peripheral surface on which an outer peripheral surface projection is formed along a circumferential direction;wherein the container body has an inner peripheral surface on which an inner peripheral surface projection is formed along the circumferential direction, in the vicinity of an end portion of the sidewall;wherein, when closing the lid member, the outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection to cause the lid member to be locked to the container body, with the inner ring sealing the container body;wherein one side of the sidewall has a portion which is open to contents of the container;wherein a rib is formed as the outer peripheral surface projection, and a thickness of the sidewall is decreased in a portion beneath the inner peripheral surface projection to relieve stiffness;wherein an axially symmetric gap is formed beneath the rib and above a position where the inner ring contacts the sidewall below the portion of the sidewall having the decreased thickness;wherein the inner ring includes a straight cylindrical section that extends below the inner peripheral surface projection and defines a first side of the gap;wherein a lower surface of the inner peripheral surface projection defines a second side of the gap, the second side being inclined with respect to the first side;wherein the portion of the sidewall having the decreased thickness defines a third side of the gap which is opposed to the first side, andwherein the sidewall, at a portion below the portion that is decreased in thickness, defines a fourth side of the gap and is inclined with respect to the third side and is opposed to the second side. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein, when closing the lid member, the inner ring seals the container body after the outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid member and the end portion of the sidewall of the container body have the same outer diameter, and in a closed state, the top panel of the lid member comes into contact with the end portion of the sidewall of the container body. 4. The container of claim 1, wherein: the lid member has a peripheral edge portion facing a portion where the lid member is coupled to the hinge, the peripheral edge portion being formed with a flange having an upper surface flush with an upper surface of the top panel of the lid member. 5. A container, comprising: a cylindrical container body, and a lid member coupled to the container body by a hinge so as to be openable/closable relative to an opening portion of the container body,wherein the lid member has a top panel and an inner ring formed on the top panel, the inner ring being fitted to an inner peripheral surface of a sidewall of the container body in a closed state to seal the container body;wherein the inner ring has an outer peripheral surface on which an outer peripheral surface projection is formed along a circumferential direction;wherein the container body has an inner peripheral surface on which an inner peripheral surface projection is formed along the circumferential direction, in the vicinity of an end portion of the sidewall;wherein, when closing the lid member, the outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection to cause the lid member to be locked to the container body, with the inner ring sealing the container body;wherein the lid member and the end portion of the sidewall of the container body have the same outer diameter;wherein a rib is formed as the outer peripheral surface projection, and a thickness of the sidewall is decreased in a portion beneath the inner peripheral surface projection to relieve stiffness;wherein an axially symmetric gap is formed beneath the rib and above a position where the inner ring contacts the sidewall below the portion of the sidewall having the decreased thickness;wherein the inner ring includes a straight cylindrical section that extends below the inner peripheral surface projection and defines a first side of the gap;wherein a lower surface of the inner peripheral surface projection defines a second side of the gap, the second side being inclined with respect to the first side;wherein the portion of the sidewall having the decreased thickness defines a third side of the gap which is opposed to the first side, andwherein the sidewall, at a portion below the portion that is decreased in thickness, defines a fourth side of the gap and is inclined with respect to the third side and is opposed to the second side. 6. The container of claim 1, wherein the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring has a chamfered and rounded triangular cross-section substantially conforming to a cross-section of the inner peripheral surface projection. 7. The container of claim 6, wherein at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring and the inner peripheral surface projection are curved to relieve stiffness. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein a rib is formed as the outer peripheral surface projection, and a thickness of the sidewall is decreased in a portion beneath the inner peripheral surface projection to relieve stiffness.
