BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mirror stick and a mirror stick container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mirror stick made of thermoplastic resin, which can be easily cut with a kitchen knife or a knife, and a mirror stick container which does not increase in volume when many mirror stick containers are stacked and allows easy removal of the mirror stick filled in the container. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, if a mirror stick is provided on a shrine for a long period of time, the stick will dry and crack or mold will grow. Seals filled with fresh rice cake have been proposed and have been widely used (for example,
3-8079, JP-B-54-43588 and the like). Usually, the manufacturer of the resin sheet container,
Since this container is different from the manufacturer that manufactures mirror stick by filling freshly baked rice, it is common for both companies to store, store and transport the mirror stick container made of resin sheet in cardboard. Was.

In a conventional mirror stick container, a state in which two or more mirror sticks having different sizes are stacked is imitated as it is, so that the diameter of the mirror stick is smaller than the maximum diameter of the upper part at the boundary between the upper part and the lower part of the container. An inverted tapered neck is provided, and
The lowermost portion (opening) of the lower portion was also provided with a constriction (constriction) having a smaller diameter than the maximum diameter of the lower portion. With such a structure, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-2945
It is necessary to use a mold having a special and complicated structure as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-48, and the mold manufacturing cost is increased, which has caused the cost of the product mirror to be high.

When a plurality of mirror holding containers are stacked, the upper portion of one container can be placed in the space inside the lower portion of another container, but the upper portion of one container can be placed in another space. Since it cannot be put in the inner space of the upper part of the container, it is bulky as a whole, and the number of cardboard boxes increases during storage and transportation, and a large storage space and transport space are required, which also increases the cost of the product mirror. Was the cause.

[0005] The mirror stick is mainly broken on the day when the mirror is opened, the surface of the container is broken by a sharp blade such as a cutter, and the mirror is removed from the container. Mirror rice cake that is taken out in this way is cut into appropriate size with a kitchen knife and eaten as juice or zoni,
There was a danger of cutting your hand when breaking the mirror stick container with a cutter, so it was difficult to remove it.Therefore, even if you can discard it without eating it or remove it from the container, the mirror stick is hard, so use a kitchen knife. There were drawbacks such as difficulty in cutting.
