A container body is formed by forming a central space formed, and an opening / closing lid body is integrally connected to each storage chamber with a hinge by a hinge, and the hinge is located outside the container body, and storage is performed. In the closed state of the chamber, the finger hook, which is the tip of the lid, is configured to protrude into the central space inside the container.

In the closed state of each of the storage chambers, the finger hanging pieces of the lid protrude into the central space inside the collecting container, so that the finger hanging pieces are caught by other articles and the lid is illegally opened. Is almost none.

[0010] The opening of the lid in the closed position is achieved by hooking the target finger-hanging piece with the fingertip that has penetrated the central space and pulling it up as it is.

Each of the lids is connected to each of the storage chambers via a hinge on the outside of the container, so that each of the lids is moved from the closed position to the open direction by one.
In the open position rotated by 80 degrees, it is located substantially on the same imaginary plane as the upper surface of the container body, and is located radially spaced apart from each other. The structure becomes simple.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the capacity of the storage room is divided into two or more types.
It is a thing that added.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a storage room having a suitable capacity can be selected according to the size of the contents to be stored. It can be stored properly.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a fingertip or the like is provided between the hinges adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, near the hinge, and at a corner of a side end of the hinge. In addition, a guard protruding piece having a protruding height for preventing being caught or pressed is protruded.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the lid is in the closed position, the guard protruding piece located near the circumferential side of the hinge protruding outside the container is sharply pointed. It prevents fingertips or the like from being strongly caught or pressed against the side corners of the hinge, so that the container can be used safely.

The height of the projection of the guard projecting piece that can prevent the fingertip or the like from being strongly hooked or pressed against the corner of the side end of the hinge should be larger than the height of the side end of the hinge. From the viewpoint of handling and appearance of the container, it is advantageous to set the distance to be substantially equal to the side end of the hinge.
