FIG. 4 is a side view and a top view of a cylindrical nut 51 used as a knob nut for the shaft 21 of FIG. This cylindrical nut 51 has a flat plate part 53 perpendicular to the screw axis A at one end of its shaft portion 52, and a finger hole 54 is formed in the flat plate part 53. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a method for assembling a music box device 1C from a decorative container 10C, which is a former cosmetics container, a music box movement 20B, and a cylindrical nut 51.

As shown in FIG. 7, when assembling this music box device 1C, the music box movement 20B is decorated so that the shaft 21 of the winding screw of the music box movement 20B passes through the through hole 11a of the bottom 17 of the decoration container 10C. It is placed inside the container 10C, and the shaft portion 52 of the cylindrical nut 51 is screwed from the bottom of the decorated container 10C.

Further, a wood screw 55 is passed through the screw hole 24 provided in the music box movement 20B, and the wood screw 55 is screwed into the through hole 11b at the bottom of the decorative container 10C to fix the music box movement 20B and the decorative container 10C. Thereby, when the music box movement 20B is operated after assembling the music box device 1C, it is possible to prevent the music box movement 20B from rotating within the decorative container 10C.

Here, it is preferable that the diameter of the through hole 11a provided in the original cosmetic container serving as the decorated container 10C is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 52 of the cylindrical nut 51. If it is small, the diameter of the through hole 11a provided in the original cosmetic container is enlarged so that the shaft portion 52 of the cylindrical nut 51 passes through the through hole 11a. Since this hole processing only involves enlarging the diameter of an existing hole, it can be performed more easily than when newly drilling a hole of the same diameter in the decorated container.

In addition, when screwing the wood screw 55 into the bottom of the decorative container 10C using the screw hole 24 provided in the music box movement 20B, hole processing is performed to make a screw hole at the position of the bottom of the decorative container 10B corresponding to the screw hole 24. You may do so. Thereby, the music box movement 20B and the decorative container 10C can be easily fixed with wood screws. The present invention includes a decorated container in which a hole is formed at the position of the through hole of the original cosmetic container.

Note that these holes may also be made by the cosmetics user who owns the original cosmetics container, as described above, but in order to promote the reuse of the original cosmetics container, it is recommended that the manufacturing and sales of cosmetics be It may be carried out by the business that does it.

FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the thus obtained music box device 1C with the lid closed, viewed from the bottom side, and FIG. 8B is a side view of the music box device 1C with the lid open. In the music box device 1C, a gap 56 is provided between the lower surface of the decorative container 10C and the flat plate portion 53 of the cylindrical nut 51. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the music box movement 20B is fixed to the decorative container 10C with wood screws 55. Therefore, by putting your finger on the finger hole 54 of the flat plate part 53 and turning the flat plate part 53, the mainspring inside the barrel 27 is wound up, and the flat plate part 53 is placed on any flat plate surface such as a display shelf or desk, and the lid 16 is placed on the flat plate part 53. When opened, the mainspring is unwound and a song is played, and the flat plate part 53 serves as a pedestal for the decorative container 10C, which rotates around the screw shaft A, creating an elegant atmosphere.

When using the bottom screw type music box movement 20B as described above, in order to rotate the decorative container 10C, a gap 56 must be created between the bottom surface of the decorative container 10C and the flat plate portion 53 of the cylindrical nut 51. However, instead of the cylindrical nut 51, the knob nut 57 and the shaft 21 of the winding screw may be screwed together with a spacer appropriately interposed between them.

Note that, like the music box device 1D shown in FIG. 9, the decorated container 10D has legs 13, and there is a thumb knob or the like between the bottom surface 14 of the decorated container 10D and the flat plate surface P on which the decorated container is placed. If there is a gap in which the knob nut 57 can be inserted, the knob nut 57 may be directly screwed onto the shaft 21 of the winding screw. In this case, the decorative container 10D does not rotate when the mainspring is unwound.

The present invention uses original cosmetic containers having through holes 11, 11a, and 11b at the bottom as the decorative containers 10C and 10D, like the music box devices 1C and 1D described above, and also uses a winding screw from the bottom as a music box movement. Use one with a protruding shaft 21, insert the shaft 21 of the winding screw into the through holes 11, 11a at the bottom of the original cosmetic container, and screw together the knob nut to create a music box device. This includes methods for reusing food containers.
