The first recess 20 is formed to a depth equivalent to the thickness of the hinge type fastener 6 described above, and is recessed inward in the radial direction of the opening edge portion 15a. The first recess 20 in this embodiment extends from the opening edge portion 15a in a tangential direction orthogonal to the opening edge portion 15a and in a direction perpendicular to the meridian direction of the second accommodating portion 3, and is a hinge type fastener 6. A flat surface portion 22 facing the back surface 11r of the above is provided. Here, the meridian direction is the meridian direction when the opening edge portion 15a is the equator.

The second recess 21 is formed adjacent to the first recess 20 in the meridian direction. The second recess 21 allows the user's fingertip to be inserted when the hinged fastener 6 is released from the locked state. The second recess 21 makes it easy for the user's fingertip to face the first side portion 11a of the hinge type fastener 6. The second recess 21 is formed so that the length in the circumferential direction is shorter than that of the first recess 20, and the center position C2 in the circumferential direction coincides with the center position C1 in the circumferential direction of the first recess 20. (See FIG. 6). The second recess 21 in this embodiment is formed slightly deeper than the first recess 20. This makes it easy to hook the fingernail of the user on the back surface 11r of the hinge type fastener 6.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the first locking portion 16 is formed so that the above-mentioned hinge type fastener 6 can be locked. The first locking portion 16 projects outward at right angles to the flat surface portion 22 of the first recess 20 described above. The first locking portion 16 has a shape that is long in the circumferential direction of the opening edge portion 15a when viewed from the front (see FIG. 8). The first locking portion 16 includes a base portion 23 and a head portion 24.

The base portion 23 is formed in a columnar shape extending in a direction orthogonal to the flat surface portion 22. The base portion 23 in this embodiment has curved surfaces having an arcuate cross section at both ends in the longitudinal direction. That is, the cross-sectional contour of the base 23 is an oval (more specifically, a rounded rectangle). Further, the base portion 23 in this embodiment has a height dimension in a direction orthogonal to the flat surface portion 22 and is a straight line position connecting both end portions 25 of the first recess 20 in the circumferential direction from the flat surface portion 22 to the opening edge portion 15a. It is said to be the height dimension to reach. Further, the base portion 23 has an outer shape corresponding to the recess 12b of the locking piece 12 described above. That is, the cross-sectional contour of the base portion 23 has an oval shape along the recess 12b of the locking piece 12.

The displacement in the direction of disengagement from the first locking portion 16 is elastically regulated. The second locking portion 17 is formed on both sides of the second recess 21 in the circumferential direction, and has an opening 27 (see FIG. 6) that opens toward the first recess 20 side. As shown in FIG. 8, the protrusion 13 fits inside the opening 27 by elastically deforming and overcoming the opening edge 28 of the second locking portion 17. Then, the displacement of the protrusion 13 fitted inside the opening 27 is elastically regulated. The protrusion 13 can be engaged with and detached from the second locking portion 17 due to elastic deformation of the second locking portion 17, elastic deformation of the protrusion 13, elastic deformation of the fastener body 11, and the like. ..

Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, even if a large number of capsules 1 are housed in a bag or the like and the capsules 1 are pressed from the outside, the hinge-type fastener 6 and the first locking portion 16 are locked by locking. It is possible to prevent the capsule 1 from being released. Further, even when the hinge-type fasteners 6 of the plurality of capsules 1 are caught by each other and a force is applied to the hinge-type fasteners 6 in the direction of disengagement from the first locking portion 16, the protrusions 13 and the protrusions 13 By locking with the second locking portion 17, it is possible to prevent the hinge type fastener 6 from coming off from the first locking portion 16. Further, since the protrusion 13 is elastically locked to the second locking portion 17, when the product is taken out, a force exceeding the elastic force is applied to the second locking portion. The protrusion 13 can be removed from 17.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the capsule 1 from being unintentionally opened during transportation or stirring, and it is possible to easily open the capsule 1 when taking out the contained product.

Further, since the protrusion 13 is arranged on the first side portion 11a, the protrusion 13 can be arranged at a position far from the second hinge portion 10 which is a fulcrum of the principle of leverage. Therefore, the displacement of the hinge type fastener 6 in the disengaging direction can be regulated by a smaller elastic force. As a result, the capsule 1 can be easily opened when the product is taken out.

Further, since a plurality of protrusions 13 and second locking portions 17 are provided, the locking force between the set of protrusions 13 and the second locking portion 17 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the protrusion 13 and the second locking portion 17 from becoming larger, so that the degree of freedom in arrangement between the protrusion 13 and the second locking portion 17 can be improved.

Further, the protrusions 13 and the second locking portion 17 are arranged at intervals in the extending direction of the first side portion 11a, so that the protrusions 13 and the protruding portions 13 adjacent to each other in the extending direction of the first side portion 11a It becomes easy to put a finger on the first side portion 11a between the second locking portions 17. Therefore, when the hinge type fastener 6 is swung to take out the product, it becomes easier to apply a force to the first side portion 11a.

Further, by providing the second recess 21 between the two second locking portions 17, it is possible to insert a finger into the second recess 21. Therefore, when the hinge type fastener 6 is swung in the opening direction, a force can be easily applied to the first side portion 11a.

Further, in the circumferential direction of the opening edge portion 15a, the dimension L2 of the second recess 21 (in other words, the distance between the second locking portions 17) is the dimension L1 of the first recess 20 (in other words, the length of the first side portion 11a). Since it is formed smaller than the above), the two corners 11cr on the side far from the second hinge portion 10 of the hinge type fastener 6 can be covered from the meridian direction (second recess 21 side). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hinge-type fastener 6 of the other capsule 1 from being caught by the hinge-type fastener 6. As a result, it is possible to prevent the hinge type fastener 6 from coming off from the first locking portion 16 during transportation of the capsule 1.
Here, the dimension L2 needs to be wide enough for the user to press the fingertip against the bottom surface of the first side portion 11a, and varies depending on the shape and size of the capsule 1, but is for an adult male. It is desirable that the width is secured so that the tip of the index finger can be pressed against it.
