Therefore, the user performs the pushing operation of the pushing operation portion 31 or the connecting piece 25 and the opening operation of the small lid 15 with one hand while holding the storage case 1 to form the granular product. T can be easily taken out.

  According to the structure of the present embodiment having the above configuration, the granular product T in the main storage chamber 11 is led out by the guide passage 12 one by one to the closed end of the guide, and the granular product carrying means 21 is pushed from the outside. Each time a moving operation is performed, the particle is discharged from the tip closed portion of the guide passage 12 to the auxiliary storage chamber 13 one by one, so that the granular product T is led out to the tip closed portion of the guide passage 12 and the granular product unloading means. Each time the pushing operation of 21 is performed, the granular product T can be once taken out to the sub-reservoir chamber 13 and taken out from the take-out port 14 to the outside in a natural form by sliding out by its own weight.

  In addition, a series of operations including the above-described operation of deriving the granular product T and the pushing operation of the granular product unloading means 21 is counted, and the necessary number of granular products T are once transported to the auxiliary storage chamber 13 one by one. This can be taken out from the outlet 14 in a natural manner by sliding out by its own weight in the same manner as described above, and the usability can be further enhanced.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the granular product carrying means 21 is a plate-like piece continuously provided on the carrying bottom of the elastically deformable granular product T constituting a part of one side wall of the guide passage 12 and the case bottom wall. Since the granular product delivery member 23 is composed of a body 24, the granular product delivery member 23 is integrally formed with the case body 2 together with the carry-out restricting piece 22 in a state where the granular product delivery member 23 is developed in a plate shape. It can be molded and can be advantageously obtained in terms of cost.

  Moreover, the plate-like body 24 constitutes a pushing operation part 31 exposed outside the housing case 1 and a part of the other side wall of the guide passage 12 and is directed toward the carry-out restricting piece 22 of the granular product T. A pressing piece 33 that can be pressed, and is integrally connected to the case bottom wall via a connecting piece 25 that can bend and stretch. 24 can be moved in parallel along the bottom wall of the case, so that the granular product T can be smoothly fed out by the pressing piece 23, that is, carried out to the auxiliary storage chamber 13 smoothly.

  Moreover, the pressing piece 33 restricts the movement of the subsequent granular product T toward the front end closing portion by blocking the guide passage 12 at the advance position (the delivery position of the granular product T) to the guide passage 12. Since the stopper piece 34 is provided, it is possible to reliably feed the granular product T one by one into the closed end portion of the guide passage 12, thereby avoiding an unloading operation failure due to the biting of the granular product T or the like. it can.

  Further, after the granular product T is unloaded, the granular product feed member 23 is returned to a position where the pressing piece 33 is substantially flush with the side wall of the guide passage 12 by the leaf spring piece 35, so that the unloading operation is performed. Defects can be prevented more reliably.

  Further, since the floating of the granular product delivery member 23 is suppressed by the guide member 36, the operation of carrying out the granular product T can be performed more smoothly.

  FIG. 5 shows a modification of the first embodiment. In this modification, the molding depth of the entire case body 2 including the main storage chamber 11, the guide passage 12, and the auxiliary storage chamber 13 is changed to a granular product. As a dimension setting slightly larger than the thickness of T, the accommodation form of the granular product T is set to be sideways.

  In this way, the storage form of the granular product T is set sideways so that the granular product T can be smoothly led out from the main storage chamber 11 to the guide passage 12, and the granular product T can be seen at the entrance of the guide passage 12. It is possible to prevent clogging.

  The molding depth may be set only in the main storage chamber 11 and the guide passage 12 or only in the guide passage 12 to obtain an effect of preventing clogging of granular items.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case body 2 and the lid 3 are integrally connected. However, these may be formed separately.
