The opened upper surface side of the front portion of 110 is exposed, and the contents can be taken out.

  The material of the lid of the box-shaped container and the container body is not particularly limited, but usually plastic such as ABS resin is often used in consideration of ease of molding and cost.

A storage case 10 which is one specific example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the rear of the storage case 10.
The storage case 10 is a box-shaped cover that includes an upper surface portion 11, a right side surface portion 13, and a left side surface portion 14, and whose front surface, back surface, and lower surface are open. The upper surface flange portion 11a extends downward from the rear end side edge portion of the upper surface portion 11 so as to follow the back surface side of the box-shaped container. The length that extends downward from the rear end side edge of the upper surface portion 11 of the upper surface flange portion 11a is not particularly limited as long as the outer side of the lid rear surface portion 106 of the box-shaped container can be locked and the appearance is not impaired. For example, when the height of the box-shaped container is larger than 5 mm, it is preferably 1 to 5 mm, more preferably 1.5 to 3 mm. If it is too short, it may not be possible to hold the back of the box-shaped container. If it is too long, it may be difficult to remove the box-shaped container from the storage case, and the amount of material used may increase and the cost may increase. There is.

  In the example of FIG. 1, both side surface portions 13 and 14 of the storage case 10 extend downward from both side edge portions of the upper surface portion 11 with a certain distance from the rear end side edge portion of the upper surface portion 11 in the front surface direction. . The right side flange portion 13a extends from the lower end side edge portion of the right side surface portion 13 toward the lower end edge portion of the left side surface portion 14 along the lower surface side of the box-shaped container, and the left side surface flange portion 14a extends from the left side surface portion 14. It extends toward the lower end edge portion of the right side surface portion 13 along the lower surface side of the box-shaped container from the lower end side edge portion. The length (width of the flange portion) extending from the lower edge of both side surface portions 13 and 14 of both side surface flange portions 13a and 14a along the lower surface side of the box-shaped container locks the lower surface of the box-shaped container. Although it is not particularly limited as long as the aesthetic appearance is not impaired, for example, when the width of the box-shaped container is larger than 20 mm, it is preferably 1.5 to 10 mm, more preferably 2 to 5 mm. If the length is too short, it may be difficult to form protrusions 13c and 14c and cutout portions 13d and 14d, which will be described later. If the length is too long, the amount of material used may increase and the cost may increase.

The rear ends of the side flange portions 13a and 14a extend rearward, and their tips are bent upward, and are engaged between the back surface portion 106 of the lid of the box-shaped container and the back surface portion 116 of the container body. Both side flange protrusions 13c, 14c are provided. Further, at the rear ends of both side flange portions 13a, 14a, along the outer side of the projecting pieces 13c, 14c (the side opposite to the inner side where the projecting pieces face each other), along the lower end side edge of the both side surface parts 13, 14 A right side flange notch 13d and a left side flange notch 14d are formed. That is, both side flange notches 13d and 14d are along the lower end side edge of both side surfaces 13 and 14 (from which side flange portions 13a and 14a extend).
As shown in FIG. 3, which is a left side view of the storage case 10, the front ends of the side flange protrusions 13 c and 14 c are bent upward, and as will be described later, the back surface of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container Locks to the lower part inside 106. Accordingly, the upper surface flange portion 11a can sandwich at least the outer side of the rear surface portion 106 of the lid body, and both side surface flange protrusions 13c and 14c can sandwich the inner side of the lower portion of the rear surface portion 106 of the lid body, thereby fixing the lid body 100. It is possible to slide only the container body 110 for taking out an object.

A developed view of the storage case 10 is shown in FIG. However, in FIG. 4, the thing before bending the front-end | tip of the both-sides flange protrusion 13c, 14c is shown. The right side flange protrusion 13c has a length 13cL extending from the rear end of the right side flange portion 13a toward the rear (in the rear direction of the box-shaped container), and the right side flange notch 13d is formed on the right side surface. It has a length 13 dL extending from the rear end of the flange portion 13 a toward the front (front direction of the box-shaped container). Similarly, the left side flange protruding piece 14c has a length 14cL extending from the rear end of the left side flange portion 14a toward the rear (backward direction of the box-shaped container), and the left side flange notch portion 14d is The left side flange portion 14a has a length 14dL extending from the rear end toward the front (front direction of the box-shaped container).
The sum of the length 13cL and the length 13dL is preferably at least 4 mm, more preferably 5-8 mm. Further, the sum of the lengths 14cL and 14dL is preferably at least 4 mm, more preferably 5 to 8 mm. When removing the box-shaped container, as will be described later, the tips of the flange protrusions 13c, 14c locked inside the lower part of the back surface portion 106 of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container are lifted, and the lower end of the back surface portion 106 is moved. It is necessary to move it forward. In order for the operator to easily lift the tip of the flange protruding piece 13c with a finger, the total of the length 13cL and the length 13dL is preferably not too short. In order to easily lift the tip of the flange protruding piece 14c, This is because the sum of the length 14 cL and the length 14 dL is preferably not too short. If the length is too long, there is a possibility of deformation, so the length is selected in consideration of the strength of the material of the storage case.

The lengths 13cL and 14cL of the flanges 13c and 14cL on both side faces are in contact with the inside of the lower part of the back part 106 of the lid 100 of the box-like container, and the back part 106 of the lid 100 of the box-like container. As long as the back surface portion 106 of the lid of the box-shaped container can be sandwiched together with the upper surface flange portion 11a that is in contact with at least the upper outer side of each, the length is, for example, at least 1 mm, preferably at least 2 mm.
The depth at which the front ends of the flange flange protrusions 13c and 14c on both sides enter the space between the inner side of the lid rear surface portion 106 and the outer side of the lid rear surface portion 116 on the lower surface of the box-shaped container corresponds to the inner end of the lid rear surface portion 106. The lid back surface portion 106 can be locked at this level. Note that if it is too deep, it is not easy to lift the tip of the protruding piece when removing the box-shaped container. This depth is preferably greater than zero and less than 1 mm.
The side surface portions 13 and 14 are spaced downward from both side edge portions of the upper surface portion 11 with a certain distance from the rear end side edge portion (from which the upper surface flange 11a extends) of the upper surface portion 11 to the front surface direction. When extending, the ends of the flange protrusions 13c and 14c are locked inside the lower portion of the back surface portion 106 of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container, so that the lengths 13cL and 14cL are respectively equal to or longer than this interval. .

  In the storage case 10, the both side flange portions 13a and 14a, the both side flange projecting pieces 13c and 14c, and the both side flange notch portions 13d and 14d are symmetric, but considering these functions, Obviously, it may not be symmetrical.

  The storage case of the present invention includes an upper surface, a right side surface, and a left side surface, and the front surface, the back surface, and the lower surface are open, and a box-shaped container can be stored inside. The box-shaped container includes a box-shaped lid body and a box-shaped container body, and has a structure in which an outlet for the contents of the box-shaped container appears by sliding the box-shaped container body held inside the box-shaped lid body. . The contents are tablets and granular materials such as ramune, gum and mint.

As an example, FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a storage case in which a box-shaped container is stored, and FIG. 6 shows a perspective view when the storage case is inverted.
As shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface flange portion 11 a is in contact with the outer side of the upper portion of the back surface portion 106 of the lid body 100, and the bent tips of the side surface flange protrusions 13 c and 14 c are on the back surface portion 106 of the lid body 100. It touches the inside of the lower part. Since the back surface portion 106 of the lid of the box-shaped container is sandwiched between the top flange portion 11a of the storage case 10 and the tips of the flanges 13c and 14c on both side surfaces, the lid body 100 can be fixed. Only movement is possible. As described above, since the container body cannot be slid beyond the upper surface rear side protrusion 101a when the upper surface rear side protrusion 101a of the lid is provided, the container body 110 is detached from the lid by sliding. Can be prevented.
The lid right side convex portion 103a and the lid left side convex portion 104a are in contact with the right side flange portion 13a and the left side flange portion 14a of the storage case 10, and the lid body is held by the storage case.

  It is preferable that the right side surface portion 13 of the storage case 10 includes a right side surface opening portion 13b corresponding to the lid right side surface notch portion 103b so that the container body right side surface protruding portion 113b can be exposed to the front side portion. The left side surface portion 14 of the storage case preferably includes a left side surface opening portion 14b corresponding to the lid left side surface notch portion 104b so that the container body left side surface protruding portion 114b can be exposed to the front side portion. This is because the container is slid by grasping the container right side protrusion 113b and the container left side protrusion 114b to open the upper surface of the container body 110, and the contents can be taken out.

FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the storage case in which the box-shaped container is housed, when the container body of the box-shaped container is slid to reveal the content outlet. Further, FIG. 8 shows an inverted storage case at this time.
When it is necessary to replace a new box-shaped container, such as when the contents of the box-shaped container are exhausted, first, the used box-shaped container is removed. Specifically, the front ends of the flange protrusions 13c and 14c locked inside the back surface portion 106 of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container are lifted, and the lower end of the back surface portion 106 is moved forward. As described above, the container body 110 can usually move only from the position where the outer side of the container body rear surface portion 116 is in contact with the inner side of the lid body rear surface portion 106 to the position of the lid body upper surface rear side protruding portion 101a. It is not easy to lift the tips of the projecting pieces 13c, 14c with a finger, but it becomes easy by providing the notches 13d, 14d. By using an elastic metal or the like for the flange protrusion or the entire storage case integrated with the flange protrusion, the tip of the flange protrusion can be lifted repeatedly, increasing the number of times the box-shaped container can be replaced. The storage case can be used for a long time.
Next, a new box-shaped container is stored in the storage case 10, and at least the outside of the back surface portion 106 of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container is locked by the upper surface flange portion 11a, and the tips of the flange protruding pieces 13c and 14c are retained. Then, the inside of the lower part of the back surface portion 106 of the lid 100 of the box-shaped container is locked to complete the replacement.
