  By the way, in the prior art, as described above, when the photographic paper as a transfer sheet is fixed to the transfer target product, the transfer sheet is sucked only from the outside of the transfer target product. When the outer periphery of the transferred product is continuous, the transfer sheet can be adsorbed to the transferred product with a considerable degree of adhesion even by such suction. However, the product to be transferred is composed of two parts, for example, a container body is provided with a lid that can be removed from this, and when viewed as a whole of the product to be transferred, the outer periphery thereof is discontinuous. When the transfer sheet has a gap as a location and the transfer sheet is fixed to the entire transfer object and transfer is performed by a single operation, the suction action from the outside of the transfer object is not effective. It is difficult to bring the transfer sheet into close contact with the gap, and the transfer sheet is in a floating state between the container body and the lid. Therefore, for such a transferred product consisting of two parts, the image is spread over both parts. There was a problem that it was difficult to transfer continuously in a series.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the transferred product is configured by mounting a lid body detachable from the container body, and a gap is formed as a discontinuous portion on the outer periphery thereof. When the transfer sheet is fixed to the entire storage body and transfer is performed with a single operation, the transfer sheet is also closely adhered to the gap, and the image is printed. An object is to provide a decorative container which can be continuously transferred continuously from the container main body to the lid body, and thereby has a beautiful design.

  The decorative container according to the present invention heats a transfer sheet, on which an image is printed with sublimation ink, in a state where the transfer sheet is fixed to the outside of a three-dimensional storage body placed on the placement surface by suction. A decorative container to which an image is transferred from the transfer sheet, wherein the three-dimensional storage body is configured by attaching a lid body detachable to the container body and fixing the transfer sheet. In order to apply a suction force from the inside of the storage body, the storage body is formed with an intake passage that communicates from the gap between the lid and the container body to the bottom of the container body on the placement surface. It is characterized by that.

  In addition, the decorative container according to the present invention heats a transfer sheet on which an image is printed with sublimation-type ink in a state where the transfer sheet is fixed to the outside of the three-dimensional storage body by a suction action. The three-dimensional storage body is configured by mounting a lid body that is removable from the container body.

  In the decorative container according to the present invention, the article to be transferred is a container in which a container body is provided with a lid that can be removed from the container body, and a gap exists as a discontinuous portion on the outer periphery thereof.
