  However, in the case of the conventional container, there is room for improvement in operability when pouring out, such as when the contents are poured out, the container needs to be tilted after the lid is removed from the spout of the thin-walled container. there were.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container provided with a thin-walled container holder that can improve the operability during pouring.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve such an object, a container provided with a thin-walled container holder according to the present invention includes a holder including a pair of left and right holder wall portions, and a spout from which contents are poured out. A thin container disposed between a pair of left and right holder wall portions, wherein the thin container and the pair of left and right holder wall portions are connected via a shaft portion extending in the left-right direction. An opening / closing part that opens and closes the spout of the thin container as the holder rotates about the shaft relative to the thin container, and the holder includes a thin container. On the other hand, an engaging portion that is engaged with the thin-walled container when disposed at an open position that rotates around the shaft portion and opens the spout is provided.

According to the present invention, when the holder is gripped and rotated around the shaft portion with respect to the thin container, the opening / closing portion is also moved following the rotational movement to open the spout.
At this time, when the engaging portion of the holder engages with the thin container, the rotational movement of the holder around the shaft portion with respect to the thin container is restricted.
If the holder is continuously rotated around the shaft portion after that, the thin container is also rotated together with the holder so that the spout is inclined downward and the contents are poured out from the spout.
As described above, when the contents are poured out, only the operation of rotating the holder around the shaft portion with respect to the thin-walled container opens the outlet and the contents are poured out. Can be improved.

  Here, the opening / closing part of the holder may close the spout by sandwiching the thin container from both sides in the left-right direction.
