Description

The present invention relates to a music box device using a decorative container.

Decorative containers are used as containers for contents such as cosmetics, ornaments, and confectionery. Decorative containers are often thrown away when they have finished their role as containers. However, there are some decorative containers that are valuable as the container itself due to its design and decoration, those that are related to the memories of the owner of the decorative container, and those that are meaningful as souvenirs. Even if the contents are used and become an empty container, the decorative container may continue to be stored.

On the other hand, high-class music box devices that incorporate a cylinder music box music box movement into a jewelry box or the like are on sale. In such a music box device, the music box movement is screwed to an aluminum bottomed case so that the music box movement can be easily attached to the jewelry box, and the bottomed case is placed in a predetermined storage chamber inside the jewelry box. It has been proposed to do so (Patent Document 1).
