A dispensing tub with a lid/cover having a pair of spreader/retainer ribs. On the cover side, the spreader/retainer ribs increase the opening degree of the spring clip latches. The spring clip latches collide with the spreader/retainer ribs before the latches reach their default final position. As the lid hook reaches the spring clip assembly through the gap between the spreader/retainer ribs, the gap is larger than the width of lid hook for proper lid release and lid locking. The spreader/retainer ribs are located on top of spring clip assembly, when the spring clip assembly opens and move upward, the spring clip latches will collide with spreader/retainer ribs and the opening path of latches are guided by the spreader/retainer ribs. The spreader/retainer ribs force the spring clip latches to open with an opening degree that is larger than default to release lid hook.

A case comprises a case body, a case cover, and a snap-fitting assembly comprising a snap-fitting member and a connecting member for fastening the case cover and the case body. The connecting member comprises a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the connecting member is rotatably connected to one of the case body and the case cover. The other one of the case body and the case cover is provided with a snapping block. The second end of the connecting member is rotatably connected to the snap-fitting member. The snap-fitting member comprises a snapping part configured to be snapped with the snapping block.
