As a result, the third magnet 83 moves between the lower part of the first magnet 81 fitted in the recess 51a of the partition member 50 and the lower part of the second magnets 82a and 82b fitted in the movable members 61 and 62. It is possible. The upper surface of the third magnet 83 comes into contact with, for example, the bottom surface of the guide groove 23.

The magnetic poles of the third magnet 83 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction Z. The north and south poles of the third magnet 83 have the same arrangement in the vertical direction Z as the north and south poles of the first magnet 81, and the north and south poles and the vertical Z of the second magnets 82a and 82b have the same arrangement. The arrangement is reversed. That is, for example, the magnetic pole of the upper portion of the third magnet 83 is the S pole, and the magnetic pole of the lower portion of the third magnet 83 is the N pole. Since the magnetic poles are arranged in this way, when the third magnet 83 is located below the first magnet 81, different magnetic poles face each other in the first magnet 81 and the third magnet 83. Therefore, when the third magnet 83 is located below the first magnet 81, a magnetic force in a direction that attracts each other is generated between the first magnet 81 and the third magnet 83. Further, when the third magnet 83 is located below the second magnets 82a and 82b, the same magnetic poles of the second magnets 82a and 82b and the third magnet 83 face each other. Therefore, when the third magnet 83 is located below the second magnets 82a and 82b, a magnetic force in a direction that repels each other is generated between the second magnets 82a and 82b and the third magnet 83. The third magnet 83 is, for example, a neodymium magnet.

According to the present embodiment, a plurality of inner plates 40 and a partition member 50 for partitioning the inside of the container body 10 are detachably housed in the container body 10. Therefore, the arrangement of the middle plate 40 and the partition member 50 can be exchanged. Since a plurality of middle plates 40 are provided in the present embodiment, it is possible to replace the arrangement of the plurality of middle plates 40 with each other. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the positions of the first middle plate 41 and the second middle plate 42 in the left-right direction Y can be exchanged. In this case, the position of the partition member 50 in the left-right direction Y is on the right side (+ Y side) of the position shown in FIG. Thereby, the position of the middle plate 40 in the container main body 10 can be changed according to the dominant hand of the user or the like. Therefore, the operability of the compact container 1 can be improved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the partition member 50 is provided with the first magnet 81, and the bottom portion 10a of the container body 10 is provided with the third magnet 83 that can move below the first magnet 81. There is. Then, when the third magnet 83 is located below the first magnet 81, a magnetic force in a direction attracted to each other is generated between the first magnet 81 and the third magnet 83. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by locating the third magnet 83 below the first magnet 81, a downward magnetic force can be applied to the partition member 50 provided with the first magnet 81. ..

It is also possible to move. Then, when the third magnet 83 is located below the second magnets 82a and 82b, a magnetic force is generated between the second magnets 82a and 82b and the third magnet 83 in directions that repel each other. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the operating member 70 is operated to move the third magnet 83 below the second magnet 82a, an upward magnetic force can be applied to the second magnet 82a. As a result, the second magnet 82a moves upward together with the movable member 61, and the first middle plate 41 can be pushed upward. Further, when the first middle plate 41 moves upward, an upward force is also applied to the partition member 50 via the pressing portion 52. Therefore, the partition member 50 can be pushed upward together with the first middle plate 41. At this time, since the third magnet 83 is not located below the first magnet 81 provided on the partition member 50, no downward magnetic force is applied to the partition member 50. Therefore, the partition member 50 can be easily pushed upward.
Similarly, when the operating member 70 is operated to move the third magnet 83 below the second magnet 82b, the second middle plate 42 and the partition member 50 can be pushed upward via the movable member 62.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by moving the second magnets 82a and 82b upward, both the partition member 50 and the middle plate 40 can be pushed up via the movable members 61 and 62. .. Therefore, by changing the position of the third magnet 83, the middle plate 40 and the partition member 50 can be easily lifted upward, and the middle plate 40 and the partition member 50 can be easily removed from the inside of the container body 10. it can. As a result, the work of changing the positions of the middle plates 40 and the work of replacing the middle plates 40 can be easily performed. Therefore, the operability of the compact container 1 can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the movable member 61 and the second magnet 82a and the movable member 62 and the second magnet 82b are in the case where the positions of the first middle plate 41 and the second middle plate 42 in the left-right direction are exchanged. However, it is arranged at a position provided below each middle plate 40. That is, when the position of the first middle plate 41 and the position of the second middle plate 42 are exchanged from the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, the movable member 61 and the second magnet 82a are provided below the second middle plate 42. The movable member 62 and the second magnet 82b are provided below the first middle plate 41. As a result, even when the position of the middle plate 40 is changed, the middle plate 40 and the partition member 50 can be easily taken out by moving the third magnet 83 below the second magnets 82a and 82b. ..

Further, according to the present embodiment, the second magnets 82a and 82b are provided on the movable members 61 and 62 respectively movably attached to the container body 10 in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, when the third magnet 83 is moved below the second magnets 82a and 82b, the middle plate 40 can be easily pushed up via the movable members 61 and 62.
Further, according to the present embodiment, the movable members 61 and 62 have convex portions 61b and 62b inserted into the guide hole portions 32a and 32b having upper edge portions. Therefore, the upward movement of the movable members 61 and 62 is restricted at the position where the convex portions 61b and 62b come into contact with the upper edges of the guide hole portions 32a and 32b. That is, the upper edge portion of the guide hole portions 32a and 32b functions as a regulating portion for restricting the upward movement of the movable members 61 and 62 and the second magnets 82a and 82b. As a result, even if the second magnets 82a and 82b and the movable members 61 and 62 move upward due to the repulsive force generated between the second magnets 82a and 82b and the third magnet 83, the second magnets 82a and 82b are movable. It is possible to prevent the members 61 and 62 from coming off the container body 10.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the third magnet 83 is provided on the operating member 70 movably attached to the bottom portion 10a of the container body 10 in the left-right direction Y, and at least a part of the operating member 70 is the container. It is exposed below the main body 10. Therefore, for example, the user can easily change the position of the third magnet 83 by moving the operation member 70 by putting a finger on the portion of the operation member 70 that is exposed downward. As a result, the third magnet 83 can be easily moved below the second magnets 82a and 82b when the middle plate 40 is replaced. Therefore, the work of changing the positions of the middle plates 40 and the work of replacing the middle plates 40 can be performed more easily.
Further, according to the present embodiment, the operation member 70 has a plurality of convex portions 72 on the lower surface. Therefore, when the user operates the operating member 70, the fingers that come into contact with the lower surface of the operating member 70 can be prevented from slipping.
