The volume V1 of the accommodation space 101 in the first state (the state shown in FIG. 5) in which the lid 20 is attached to the container main body 10 in the first orientation is the same as the volume V1 of the accommodation space 101 in the second orientation. Further, it is 1.3 times or more the volume V2 of the accommodation space 101 in the second state (the state of FIG. 4).
In addition, as articles | goods accommodated in the container 100, foodstuffs, such as fruit and vegetables, and foodstuffs are mentioned. The fruits and vegetables may be cherry tomatoes or other fruits, or vegetables (such as strawberries and cut vegetables). Examples of the food include sandwiches, prepared dishes, lunch boxes (contents), sushi, and desserts. In addition, the article stored in the container 100 may be other than food.
Details will be described below.

  First, the configuration of the container body 10 will be described.

The container main body 10 includes a main body portion 11 and a bowl-shaped portion 15.
The planar shape of the container body 10 may be a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or other shapes. In the present embodiment, as an example, an example in which the planar shapes of the container main body 10 and the main body portion 11 are rectangular is illustrated.
The rectangular shape in this specification includes not only a shape having a right-angled corner but also a rounded shape as shown in FIG.

  The main body portion 11 is formed in a box shape having a bottom surface portion 18, a side peripheral surface portion (for example, a plurality of (four in this embodiment) side surface portions 19), and a main body opening 14.

The main body 11 includes, for example, a first portion 11 a that forms the lower portion of the main body 11 and includes the bottom surface portion 18, and a second portion 11 b that forms the upper portion of the main body 11. .
The second portion 11b has a larger plane area than the first portion 11a, and the second portion 11b is accommodated inside the first portion 11a in plan view.
A step portion 12 (step portion) is formed at the boundary between the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b.

  The internal space of the second portion 11b constitutes a recess 13 into which a second portion 21b (described later) of the main body portion 21 of the lid body 20 is fitted when the container 100 is in the second state.

  A fitting recess 17 that fits with a fitting protrusion 27 (described later) formed in the second portion 21 b of the main body portion 21 of the lid 20 is formed in the lower portion of the recess 13.

  For example, the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b are each formed in a rectangular shape in plan view and are arranged in the same direction.

  The hook-shaped portion 15 projects outward (periphery) from the upper edge of the main body portion 11, that is, the upper edge of the second portion 11b. That is, the container main body 10 has a bowl-shaped portion 15 formed on the peripheral edge thereof. The hook-shaped part 15 is formed in an annular shape around the main body opening 14, for example.

When the container 100 is set to the first state, the hook-like portion 15 is fitted into a fitting recess 23a described later.
The edge of the hook-shaped portion 15 constitutes a locked piece 15a. When the container 100 is in the first state, the locked piece 15a and an engagement rib 25 described later are engaged with each other.

  In the case of the present embodiment, a notch-shaped portion 16 (FIGS. 1 and 3) for forming an opening 50 described later is formed on the upper edge of the container body 10.

  Next, the configuration of the lid 20 will be described.

The lid body 20 has a main body portion 21 and a bowl-shaped portion 210.
The planar shape of the lid 20 is a shape corresponding to the planar shape of the container body 10. That is, the planar shape of the lid 20 may be a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or other shapes. In the present embodiment, as an example, an example in which the planar shape of the lid 20 and the main body 21 is a rectangular shape is shown.

  The main body portion 21 is formed in a box shape having a top surface portion 28, a side peripheral surface portion (for example, composed of a plurality of side surface portions), and a lid opening 24.

The main body 21 includes, for example, a first portion 21a that forms a lower portion of the main body 21 in the state of FIG. 5 (that is, when the lid 20 is in the first orientation), and the main body 21 in the state of FIG. And a second portion 21b constituting the upper portion.
For example, the first portion 21a and the second portion 21b are each formed in a rectangular shape in plan view and are arranged in the same direction.
In the state of FIG. 1, that is, when the lid 20 is in the second orientation, the first portion 21 a constitutes the upper portion of the main body portion 21, and the second portion 21 b constitutes the lower portion of the main body portion 21.
The first portion 21a has a larger plane area than the second portion 21b, and the second portion 21b fits inside the first portion 21a in plan view. In addition, it is preferable that the plane area of the 2nd part 21b is 70% or more of the plane area of the 1st part 21a, and, thereby, the volume change rate mentioned later can fully be enlarged.
A step portion 22 (step portion) is formed at the boundary between the first portion 21a and the second portion 21b.

  The internal space of the first portion 21a constitutes an insertion recess 23a into which the bowl-shaped portion 15 of the container body 10 is inserted when the container 100 is in the first state.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, in the first state, the first portion 21 a is fitted to the bowl-shaped portion 15 of the container body 10. In the first state, the second portion 21b protrudes above the first portion 21a.
Thus, the lid 20 includes a fitting portion (first portion 21a) that is fitted and attached to the container body 10 in the first state, and a protruding portion that protrudes from the fitting portion in the first state ( Second portion 21b).
And it is preferable that the height dimension H11 of a protrusion part (2nd part 21b) is larger than the height dimension H12 of a fitting part (1st part 21a). Thereby, the volume change rate mentioned later can be enlarged.
In particular, the height dimension H11 of the projecting portion (second portion 21b) is preferably 1.2 times or more the height dimension H12 of the fitting portion (first portion 21a), thereby reducing the volume change rate. Can be larger.
From the viewpoint of increasing the volume change rate, the height dimension H11 of the protruding portion (second portion 21b) is more preferably 1.5 times or more the height dimension H12 of the fitting portion (first portion 21a). It is preferably 2 times or more, more preferably 3 times or more.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an engagement rib 25 protruding inward is formed on the inner surface of the insertion recess 23a. For example, a plurality of engagement ribs 25 are formed on the inner surface of the insertion recess 23a.
More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the engagement ribs 25 are respectively formed at the four corners of the lid 20 in plan view (four corners of the insertion recesses 23 a in plan view). As a more specific example, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the engagement ribs 25 are respectively provided in the middle of a pair of sides of the insertion recess 23 a in addition to the four corners of the insertion recess 23 a in plan view. A total of six engaging ribs 25 are formed on the lid 20.
Each engagement rib 25 extends in the horizontal direction.
Each of the engagement ribs 25 at the four corners is formed in an L shape in plan view, and is formed on a pair of sides adjacent to each other with the corner of the lid 20 (corner of the fitting recess 23a) in the plan view as a boundary. It extends across. For example, the upper left engagement rib 25 in FIG. 2 extends in an L shape in plan view across the upper side from the left side of the insertion recess 23a in plan view.
When the container 100 is in the first state, the locking pieces 15a at the edges of the bowl-shaped portion 15 of the container body 10 are engaged with the respective engagement ribs 25 (see FIG. 6). .

  The second portion 21 b has a shape that can be fitted into the recess 13 of the second portion 11 b of the container body 10. More specifically, for example, when the second portion 21 b is fitted into the recess 13, the outer surface of the second portion 21 b is in close contact with the inner surface of the recess 13 over the entire circumference of the second portion 21 b and the recess 13. The shape of the outer surface of the second portion 21b is formed in a shape that substantially matches the shape of the inner surface of the recess 13.

A fitting projection 27 that fits with the fitting recess 17 formed in the second portion 11b of the container body 10 is formed at the lower portion of the second portion 21b in the state of FIG.
That is, when the second portion 21 b is fitted into the recess 13, the fitting protrusion 27 is fitted with the fitting recess 17.

Here, the fitting recess 17 is connected to the lower side of the inclined portion 17a and is inclined substantially vertically (substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface portion 18). And an upright portion 17b formed upright. The flat cross-sectional area of the inclined portion 17a gradually increases toward the lower part.
Similarly, the fitting protrusion 27 is inclined with respect to the top surface portion 28, and is connected to the inclined portion 27a and stands substantially vertically (substantially perpendicular to the top surface portion 28). And an upright portion 27b formed.
In the state where the fitting protrusion 27 is fitted to the fitting recess 17, the inclined portion 27a is in close contact with the inclined portion 17a, and the upright portion 27b is in close contact with the upright portion 17b.

  The fitting recess 17 has the inclined portion 17a and the upright portion 17b, and the fitting protrusion 27 has the inclined portion 27a and the upright portion 27b, so that the fitting protrusion 27 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 17. The lid 20 can be more securely fixed to the container body 10 by being fitted to each other, and at the same time, the fitting recess 17 and the fitting protrusion 27 can be easily engaged and detached. Yes.

  The hook-shaped portion 210 projects outward (periphery) from the upper edge of the main body 21 in FIG. 1, that is, the upper edge of the first portion 21a in FIG. That is, the lid 20 has a hook-like portion 210 formed on the peripheral edge thereof. The hook-shaped portion 210 is formed in an annular shape around the lid opening 24, for example.

  In the case of this embodiment, a notch-shaped portion 26 is formed on the upper edge of the lid 20 in the state of FIG. 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The notch shape portion 26 is formed at a position corresponding to the notch shape portion 16.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a suspending hole 29 a for suspending the container 100 is formed in at least one of the container main body 10 and the lid body 20. Therefore, the container 100 can be suspended and displayed in a state where the article is stored in the storage space 101 and the lid 20 is attached to the container main body 10.

  In the case of this embodiment, a hanging hole 29 a is formed in the lid 20. More specifically, for example, the flange-like portion 210 of the lid 20 is formed with an overhanging piece 29 in which the flange-like portion 210 partially protrudes outward in a plan view. The overhanging piece 29 is formed with a hanging hole 29 a penetrating the front and back of the overhanging piece 29.

However, the suspending hole 29a may be formed in the container body 10 or may be formed in both the container body 10 and the lid 20.
When the suspension hole 29 a is formed in both the container body 10 and the lid body 20, the suspension hole 29 a of the lid body 20 and the suspension hole of the container body 10 are mounted when the lid body 20 is attached to the container body 10. 29a may overlap. By doing in this way, the intensity | strength of the part in which the hanging hole 29a was formed in the container 100 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 20 is placed in the second orientation by fitting the second portion 21 b of the main body 21 into the second portion 11 b of the main body 11 with the lid 20 in the second orientation. The container 100 can be put into the second state by being mounted (fixed) on the main body 10.
In the second state, for example, the step portion 22 comes into contact with the upper surface of the bowl-shaped portion 15, and the top surface portion 28 comes into contact with and comes into contact with the step portion 12.
In the second state, the second portion 21b is in close contact with the concave portion 13 over the entire circumference, and the second portion 21b and the concave portion 13 are in surface contact. For this reason, the accommodation space 101 can be satisfactorily sealed (blocked from outside air) from the external space. Specifically, for example, the accommodation space 101 can be hermetically sealed from the external space.
Further, when the fitting protrusion 27 is fitted into the fitting recess 17, the second portion 21 b is prevented from dropping from the recess 13. That is, the drop off of the lid 20 from the container body 10 is satisfactorily suppressed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid 20 is covered with the container body 10 with the lid 20 in the first orientation, and the lid 15 is fitted into the fitting recess 23a. The container 100 can be set (fixed) in the container body 10 in the first direction.
In the first state, for example, the stepped portion 22 contacts the upper surface of the bowl-shaped portion 15. Note that the surface of the step portion 22 that contacts the upper surface of the bowl-shaped portion 15 in the first state is a surface on the back side of the surface of the step portion 22 that contacts the upper surface of the bowl-shaped portion 15 in the second state. .
In the first state, for example, the peripheral edge of the locked piece 15 a is in a state of loosely contacting the inner surface of the insertion recess 23 a, but the locked piece 15 a of the hook-shaped part 15 is engaged with the engaging rib 25. Therefore, the drop off of the lid 20 from the container body 10 is satisfactorily suppressed.
For example, in the first state, the airtightness is not as high as in the second state, and for example, air can be slightly circulated between the accommodating space 101 and the external space even in a portion other than the opening 50 described later. ing.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, in the second state, the second portion 21b is fitted into the second portion 11b. That is, the second portion 21b enters the container body 10. In this state, since the top surface portion 28 is disposed at the upper end position of the first portion 11a, the accommodation space 101 is substantially constituted by the internal space of the first portion 11a.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, in the first state, the second portion 21 b protrudes to the upper side of the container body 10. In this state, the top surface portion 28 is located above the container body 10, and the accommodation space 101 includes an internal space of the first portion 11a, an internal space of the second portion 11b, and an internal space of the second portion 21b. , It is a space that combines.
Therefore, the volume V1 of the storage space 101 in the first state can be made larger than the volume V2 of the storage space 101 in the second state.

  Here, the volume V1 is set to 1.3 times or more of the volume V2, as described above. Thereby, the volume V1 in the first state can be sufficiently secured.

However, the volume V1 is preferably set to 1.5 times or more of the volume V2. Thereby, for example, in the second state, the state may be suitable for accommodating two articles having a constant volume, while in the first state, the state being suitable for accommodating three articles having a constant volume. Can be.
More specifically, for example, the height of the accommodation space 101 in the first state (for example, the distance between the bottom surface portion 18 and the top surface portion 28 in the first state) is the height of the accommodation space 101 in the second state. It is preferably set to 1.5 times or more (for example, the distance between the bottom surface portion 18 and the top surface portion 28 in the second state). In this case, for example, in the second state, it becomes a state suitable for storing two articles of a predetermined thickness (for example, sandwich, konjac, hanpen, etc.), while in the first state, the predetermined state It becomes a state suitable for stacking and storing three articles having a thickness of 3 mm.

It is also preferable that the volume V1 is set to be twice or more than the volume V2. Thereby, for example, in the second state, the state may be suitable for accommodating one article having a constant volume, while in the first state, the state suitable for accommodating two articles having a constant volume. Can be.
More specifically, for example, the height of the accommodation space 101 in the first state is preferably set to be twice or more the height of the accommodation space 101 in the second state. In this case, for example, in the second state, a state suitable for accommodating only one article having a predetermined thickness is obtained, while in the first state, two articles having a predetermined thickness are overlapped. It is in a state suitable for housing.

Moreover, it is preferable that the volume V1 is set to 3 times or more of the volume V2. Thereby, for example, in the second state, the state can be suitable for accommodating one article having a constant volume, while in the first state, the state suitable for accommodating three articles having a constant volume. Can be.
More specifically, for example, the height of the accommodation space 101 in the first state is preferably set to be three times or more the height of the accommodation space 101 in the second state. In this case, for example, in the second state, a state suitable for accommodating only one article having a predetermined thickness is obtained, while in the first state, three articles having a predetermined thickness are stacked. It is in a state suitable for housing.

In addition, although the upper limit of the volume change rate (V1 / V2) of the container 100 is not specifically limited, For example, it can be 10 or less or 5 or less.
That is, the volume V1 can be set to 10 times or less of the volume V2, or 5 times or less.

Moreover, it is preferable that the height dimension H1 (FIG. 5) of the container 100 in the first state is 1.2 times or more the height dimension H2 (FIG. 4) of the container 100 in the second state.
Thereby, since the height dimension H2 of the container 100 in a 2nd state can be made small, it becomes possible to arrange | position the container 100 also to the space where storage height, such as a refrigerator, was restricted. . When storing an object in a storage space such as a refrigerator, a difference in whether the object can be stored in the storage space is often caused by a slight difference in height of the object. The ability to make the height dimension H2 smaller is extremely significant.

Here, the usage method of the container which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.
When the container 100 is used, for example, after an article is accommodated in the accommodation space 101 in the first state, the article can be accommodated in the accommodation space 101 in the second state. Or conversely, after an article is accommodated in the accommodation space 101 in the second state, the article can be accommodated in the accommodation space 101 in the first state.
That is, the method for using the container includes a first step of storing the article in the storage space 101 in the first state, and a second step of storing the article in the storage space 101 in the second state.

More specifically, for example, after the first step, the amount of articles can be reduced and the second step can be performed. For example, when the volume of the article is reduced by consuming the article in the storage space 101, the container 100 can be saved by turning the lid 20 over to the second state. Further, by switching from the first state to the second state, it is possible to improve the sealing property of the accommodation space 101.
In particular, when the article is a food or food, the amount of air in the accommodation space 101 can be reduced by switching to the second state when the volume of the article is reduced, thereby preventing the food and food from being spoiled. can do. In particular, the container 100 having a structure in which the height dimension H11 of the protruding portion (second portion 21b) is 1.5 times or more the height dimension H12 of the fitting portion (first portion 21a) is used in this way. Is preferably used.

In the case of this embodiment, in the first state, the side surface of the container 100 is formed with an opening 50 that allows the accommodation space 101 and the external space of the container 100 to communicate with each other. That is, the notch shape portion 16 and the notch shape portion 26 face each other, whereby an opening 50 is formed between the notch shape portion 16 and the notch shape portion 26. As an example, the opening 50 is formed in each of a plurality of (for example, two) side surfaces of the container 100.
The opening 50 allows the accommodation space 101 and the external space of the container 100 to communicate with each other.

  For this reason, when storing and storing fruits and vegetables using the container 100, air is circulated between the storage space 101 and the external space of the container 100 through the opening 50 by placing the container 100 in the first state. Can be made possible. Therefore, the freshness of fruits and vegetables can be maintained well.

  Further, the container 100 can be used as a cleaning container for articles such as fruits and vegetables. That is, the container 100 according to the present embodiment is a container with an article cleaning function.

  Hereinafter, an example of a method for cleaning articles such as fruits and vegetables using the container 100 will be described.

First, in a state where an article is stored in the container body 10, the lid 20 is removed from the container body 10, and water is poured into the container body 10.
Next, the lid 20 is attached to the container body 10 in the second state. In this state, the container 100 does not have the opening 50.
In this state, the container 100 is vibrated and the article is washed with the water 40. Specifically, for example, by holding the container 100 by hand and swinging it up and down, left and right, etc., the water is shaken in the container 100 to wash the article. The lid 20 and the container main body 10 are grasped with the right hand, and the container 20 is shaken and moved with the left hand grasping the lid 20 and the container main body 10, so that the lid 20 is removed from the container main body 10. Can be suppressed.

  Thereby, articles, such as fruits and vegetables, can be easily washed without using a cleaning instrument such as a colander. At this time, since the container 100 does not have the opening 50, it is possible to clean the article while suppressing the water 40 from being scattered from the opening 50 to the surroundings.

  Next, drain the water. For this purpose, first, the lid 20 is removed from the container body 10. Then, this time, the lid 20 is attached to the container body 10 in the first state. Next, by tilting the container 100 so that the opening 50 faces downward, water is discharged out of the container 100 through the opening 50. At this time, it is preferable that the opening 50 is set to a size of a certain extent or less so that the article does not fall through the opening 50. By doing so, draining after washing can be easily performed without dropping the article. It can be performed.

  After washing and draining, the lid 20 is removed from the container body 10 again. Then, the cleaned article can be taken out from the container body 10.

  Thus, the opening 50 functions as a vent when storing the fruits and vegetables by the container 100, and functions as a draining hole after washing the fruits and vegetables using the container 100.

The internal space of the second portion 21b serves as an accommodation recess 23b that can accommodate the first portion 11a of the upper container 100 when the plurality of containers 100 in the second state are stacked. That is, the flat cross-sectional area of the accommodating recess 23b is larger than the flat cross-sectional area of the first portion 11a, and the first portion 11a can be accommodated in the accommodating recess 23b.
Therefore, when stacking the plurality of containers 100 in the second state, the lower part of the first portion 11a of the upper container 100 can be inserted into the housing recess 23b via the fitting recess 23a of the lower container 100.
For this reason, the height when the plurality of containers 100 in the second state are stacked is lower than the total sum of the heights of the individual containers 100 (height H2 shown in FIG. 4). Therefore, the height when the containers in the second state are stacked can be suppressed.

  The container body 10 and the lid body 20 are, for example, vacuum molded products manufactured by molding a resin thin plate by a vacuum molding method. In this case, the container body 10 has a substantially constant wall thickness over the entire surface, and the front and back surfaces have the same shape as each other, and have a shape in which the convexity and the concaveness are reversed. Similarly, the thickness of the lid body 20 is substantially constant over the entire surface, and the surfaces of the front and back surfaces thereof have the same shape as each other, and have a shape in which convexity and concaveness are reversed.

  The material of the container body 10 and the lid 20 is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin material capable of processing the container body 10 and the lid 20 into desired shapes, respectively. Examples of the material of the container body 10 and the lid 20 include PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PLA (polylactic acid), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), and low foamed PSP (low foamed polystyrene).

According to the first embodiment as described above, the volume V1 of the accommodation space 101 in the first state in which the lid 20 is mounted on the container body 10 in the first orientation is the lid 20 in the second orientation. Thus, it is 1.3 times or more the volume V2 of the accommodation space 101 in the second state attached to the container body 10.
Therefore, the volume of the container 100 can be changed more greatly according to the amount and size of the articles to be accommodated.

  Moreover, when the height dimension H1 of the container 100 in the first state is 1.2 times or more the height dimension H2 of the container 100 in the second state, the height dimension H2 of the container 100 in the second state. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the container 100 can be arranged in a space with a limited height in a storage such as a refrigerator.

Moreover, the container main body 10 has the hook-shaped part 15 formed in the peripheral part, and the cover body 20 has the insertion recessed part 23a in which the hook-shaped part 15 fits in the 1st state. An engagement rib 25 projecting inward is formed on the inner surface of the insertion recess 23a, and the hooked portion 15 is inserted into the insertion recess 23a. The engagement rib 25 is engaged with 15a. Therefore, in the first state, it is possible to maintain a state in which the lid body 20 is stably attached (fixed) to the container body 10.
In particular, even in the case where the first state does not have the same sealing property as the second state and a slight amount of air can be circulated between the storage space 101 and the external space as in the present embodiment, Thus, the lid 20 can be stably mounted.

Note that the configuration corresponding to the bowl-shaped portion 15 may be included in either the container body 10 or the lid body 20. Similarly, the configuration corresponding to the fitting recess 23 a is either the container body 10 or the lid body 20. May have.
That is, either the container body 10 or the lid body 20 has a bowl-shaped part formed on the peripheral edge thereof, and either the container body 10 or the lid body 20 is the bowl-shaped part in the first state. What is necessary is just to have the insertion recessed part which inserts.

Moreover, the planar shape of the container main body 10 and the lid 20 is formed in a square shape (for example, a rectangular shape), and the engagement ribs 25 are respectively formed in the other four corners of the container main body 10 or the lid 20. With the configuration, the lid 20 can be more stably attached to the container body 10.
In particular, the engagement ribs 25 at the four corners extend in a L shape in plan view across a pair of adjacent sides with the other four corners of the container body 10 or the lid 20 as a boundary. Thus, the lid 20 can be more stably attached to the container body 10.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a front view illustrating a state in which the container 100 according to the second embodiment is erected with the side surface facing downward.
FIG. 8 is a view showing the container 100 according to the second embodiment, in which (a) is a bottom view and (b) is a side view.

In the case of the present embodiment, a plurality of ribs 30 extending in the depth direction of the container body 10 are formed on the outer surface of one side surface of the container body 10. That is, for example, when the container body 10 has four side surface portions 19, a plurality of ribs 30 are formed on the one side surface portion 19. The plurality of 30 are formed in parallel with each other. More specifically, for example, a plurality of ribs 30 are formed on the first portion 19 a of the side surface portion 19.
As shown in FIG. 8, the plurality of ribs 30 are partitioned from each other by, for example, grooves 31 formed between them.

Then, in at least one of the first state and the second state, the container 100 is on the horizontal plane G in a posture in which one side surface of the container body 10 faces downward and the plurality of ribs 30 are grounded to the horizontal plane G. Can become independent.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in the second state, the container 100 can stand on the horizontal plane G in a posture in which one side surface of the container body 10 faces downward and the plurality of ribs 30 are in contact with the horizontal plane G. ing.
Although illustration is omitted, even in the first state, the container 100 can stand on the horizontal plane G in a posture in which one side surface of the container body 10 faces downward and the plurality of ribs 30 are in contact with the horizontal plane G. It is preferable.

  Here, it is preferable that the protrusion amount of the rib 30 from the side surface portion 19 gradually increases toward the bottom surface portion 18 side of the container body 10. By doing in this way, the container 100 can be made to stand on the horizontal plane G more stably in the posture in which one side surface of the container main body 10 faces downward and the plurality of ribs 30 are in contact with the horizontal plane G.

  In the case of the present embodiment, in at least one of the first state and the second state, the container 100 is in a posture in which one side surface of the container body 10 faces downward and the plurality of ribs 30 are grounded to the horizontal plane G. Can stand on the horizontal plane G, so that the plane area occupied by the container 100 can be reduced as compared with the case where the bottom surface 18 is grounded and the container 100 is placed on the horizontal plane G. Therefore, it is possible to display many containers 100 in a limited display space.

In the example shown in this figure, articles 60a and 60b are displayed using a container 100. Specifically, in the example shown in the figure, two housing spaces 101a and 101b are formed using the first container body 10a, the lid body 20, and the second container body 10b. These two accommodation spaces 101 a and 101 b are partitioned through the top surface portion 28 of the lid 20. And the article | item 60a is accommodated in the accommodation space 101a. On the other hand, the article 60b is accommodated in the accommodating space 101b.

  These two articles 62, 64 are, for example, food (eg, vegetables, fruits, fish, or meat). The two articles 62 and 64 may be the same type of food or may be different types of food. Further, the article 62 and the article 64 may be the same type of food having different colors. For example, article 62 and article 64 can be red and yellow tomatoes, respectively. In the example shown in the figure, the first container body 10a, the lid body 20, and the second container body 10b have translucency. In this case, if the color of the article 62 and the color of the article 64 are different from each other, the color of the article 62 and the color of the article 64 are distinguished from each other.

  Furthermore, in the example shown in the figure, the lid 20 is hooked on the handle 70 using the hanging hole 29a of the lid 20. Thereby, the container 100 can be suspended. In this case, the second opening of the first container body 10a and the third opening of the second container body 10b are directed in a direction (specifically, a horizontal direction) different from the gravity direction. In this case, when the container 100 is viewed from the side surface of the container 100 as shown in the figure, both the two articles 62 and 64 can be easily visually recognized.

In addition, the container 100 which concerns on this embodiment can also be prescribed | regulated as follows.
That is, the container 100 according to this embodiment is
A first container body 10a having a first bottom surface portion (bottom surface portion 18), a first side peripheral surface portion (for example, composed of a plurality of side surface portions 19), and a first main body opening (main body opening 14);
A second container body 10b having a second bottom surface portion (bottom surface portion 18), a second side peripheral surface portion (for example, composed of a plurality of side surface portions 19), and a second main body opening (main body opening 14);
A lid 20 detachably attached to the first container body 10a and the second container body 10b;
With
The lid 20 has a first body in which the first container body 10a is oriented in the first direction and the first direction is a second direction in which the front and back of the lid 20 are reversed. It can be attached to the first container body 10a so as to close the opening,
