  As shown in FIG. 3, the container body 2 has a cylindrical side wall 2a and a bottom wall 2b that is connected to the lower end of the side wall 2a and closes the lower end. An opening to be communicated is formed. A notch 2c is partially formed in the upper part of the side wall 2a toward the lower side of the container 1. Further, the upper end portion of the side wall 2a is formed thin, and a rib 2d extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the outer peripheral surface.

The lid 3 has a peripheral wall 3a that surrounds the upper end of the side wall 2a of the container body 2 in a state of being fitted to the container body 2, and a ceiling wall 3b that is connected to the upper end of the peripheral wall 3a and extends substantially horizontally. Yes. The peripheral wall 3a, extending portions 3a ₁ toward the container body 2 in correspondence with the cutout portion 2c. Therefore, the extension part 3a ₁ is accommodated in the notch part 2c of the container body 2 with the lid 3 closed. On the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3a, a rib 3c is formed which extends in the circumferential direction and engages with the rib 2d provided on the side wall 2a of the container body 2 undercut. Thereby, in a state where the lid 3 is closed, the rib 2d on the container body 2 side and the rib 3c on the lid 3 side are engaged to fix the lid 3 to the container body 2, and the internal space S is increased. Sealed. Although not shown, the lid 3 may be fixed to the container body 2 by replacing either the rib 2d or the rib 3c with the groove and fitting the rib with the groove, or the container body 2 so that the cover 3 is fixed to the container body 2 by providing a convex portion on one of the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 2a of the wall 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3a of the lid 3 and pressing the convex portion against the other. Anyway.

In addition, a window hole 3 d that has an opening area smaller than the opening of the container body 2 and communicates with the internal space S is formed in the top wall 3 b of the lid 3. Window hole 3d corresponds to a position extending portion 3a ₁ of the cover 3 is formed, the extended portion 3a ₁ is disposed in a portion broken. In the illustrated example, the opening shape of the window hole 3d is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, but the shape is not limited to this, and it may be a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon.

  The lidded container 1 further includes a slide lid 5 that is slidably held on the lid 3 and opens and closes the window hole 3d by advancing and retreating along the top wall 3b of the lid 3.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the slide lid 5 is detachable from the lid body 3 here. The slide lid 5 has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape, that is, a top plate portion 5a extending opposite to the top wall 3b of the lid 3 and a lid body hanging from both ends of the top plate portion 5a. 3 side wall portions 5b and 5c extending opposite to the peripheral wall 3a.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5B, the side cover 5b on the front side holds the slide cover 5 in a slidable manner in association with the cover 3 on the surface facing the peripheral wall 3a of the cover 3.
