[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a component capable of manufacturing a savings box using an empty can (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-83717). This part can be attached to the opening of the empty can and has a slit into which money can be inserted.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional parts, the product name, trademark, and the like drawn on the peripheral surface of the empty can remain displayed on the savings box, and the appearance of the savings box is impaired.

[0005] In this regard, it is conceivable to cover the peripheral surface of the empty can or to cover the peripheral surface with a cover as another component to hide the product name or the like on the peripheral surface of the empty can.

However, when the former method is employed, the operation is troublesome, and the aesthetic appearance is degraded by poor painting. When the latter method is adopted, the parts to be attached to the opening of the empty can are located at the top of the empty can, and the parts cannot support such a cover. It is easy to drop, and it is easy to spoil the beauty of the piggy bank.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and is an empty can bank that can produce a highly beautiful savings box with a simple operation while realizing reuse of empty cans. The task to be solved is to provide a box kit.

An upper lid having an insertable slit, a lower lid attachable to the lower surface of the empty can, and a cover which is held by the lower lid and the upper lid and covers the peripheral surface of the empty can in a cylindrical shape. It is characterized by the following.

When manufacturing a savings box using an empty can with the empty can savings box kit of the present invention, first, an empty can with an open upper surface on the side of a drinking or taking-out opening is prepared. Examples of such empty cans that can be used include those containing coffee drinks and canned foods such as oranges. If such an empty can has the top open by the pull-top method, the empty can can be used as it is. On the other hand, when such an empty can has a stay tub or the like, the empty can can be used after opening the upper surface by a can opener or the like.

Then, the peripheral surface of the empty can is covered with a cylindrical cover, an upper lid is attached to the upper surface of the empty can and a lower lid is attached to the lower surface, and the cover is held by the lower lid and the upper lid. As at least one of the upper lid, the lower lid, and the cover, a paper-made one, a plastic-made one, or the like can be used. It is preferable in terms of cost to adopt a paper-made one. The cover may be manufactured and sold as a sheet, and may be formed in a tubular shape when attached to an empty can.

[0011] Thus, it is possible to easily produce a money box into which money can be inserted from the slit of the upper lid. This also makes it possible to reuse empty cans. The obtained piggy bank has a high aesthetic appearance because the cover covers the peripheral surface of the empty can, and the product name, trademark, etc. drawn on the peripheral surface of the empty can are not displayed. In addition, since the upper lid, the lower lid and the cover are merely attached to the empty cans, the operation is simple and the appearance can be surely improved. Furthermore, since the cover is held by the lower lid and the upper lid and does not easily fall off from the savings box, the appearance of the savings box can be easily maintained.

Therefore, according to the empty can storage box kit of the present invention, it is possible to produce a highly beautiful savings box by simple work while reusing the empty can.

[0013] The money box kit for empty cans of the present invention is preferably designed with a cover. Thereby, the beauty of the savings box can be further improved. Advertisement can be used if advertising is used as a design.

[0014] Further, in the money box kit for empty cans of the present invention, the cover is rotatably covered by the lower cover and the upper cover, and has a cylindrical shape, and a part of the cover is provided on at least a part of the peripheral surface. It is preferable to have an upper cover in which a window to be exposed is formed. The upper cover may also be manufactured and sold as a sheet and formed into a tubular shape when attached to an empty can. Since the upper cover is simply attached to the empty can, the operation is simple. In addition, since the window of the upper cover exposes a part of the cover and the upper cover is rotatable, it is possible to exhibit aesthetic appearance and taste. Furthermore, since the upper cover is also held by the lower lid and the upper lid and is difficult to fall out of the savings box, the appearance of the savings box is also easily maintained.

[0015] It is preferable that the upper cover has a design together with a part of the cover exposed by the window. This can further enhance the beauty and taste of the savings box. Advertisement can be used as a design to achieve higher advertising effectiveness due to preference.
