It is formed into a top and bottom open tubular shape that can be installed so that it does not
A flat surface 3a overlapping the flat surface 2c of the outer cylinder 2 is formed on the side surface of the movable cylinder 3 in the vertical direction so that the movable cylinder 3 and the outer cylinder 2 rotate integrally.

The lid 4 moves by virtue of the disc-shaped outer peripheral upper edge that closes the upper surface opening of the container body as a slightly protruding protrusion 4a, and the lower outer periphery has a diameter close to the inner periphery of the movable cylinder 3. The upper part of the cylinder 3 is formed as a fitting part 4b which can be fitted, and a strong pivot 4c is provided in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the lid (for example, the embedded bronze rigid wire is projected and the protruding tip is made large in diameter). And a groove cam 4d whose end is open to the outer circumference of the lid, and which is separated from the same position as or near the pivot 4c in a direction intersecting the radial direction of the lid.

The pivot 4c is press-fitted into the pivot bearing hole 1c of the inner cylinder 1 and the lid 4 is attached. In this state, the projection 2b of the outer cylinder 2 is loosely fitted in the groove cam 4d of the lid 4, and the inner and outer cylinder 1 The mutual relationship of the respective components is set so that the protrusion 2b moves in the groove cam 4d in accordance with the reciprocal rotation of 2 and 2, and the lid 4 opens and closes in accordance with this movement.

The inner and outer cylinders 1 and 2 are fitted to each other by using the elasticity of the material (preferably synthetic resin or metal), and the engagement step portion 1
Although b and 2a are engaged with each other to prevent them from coming off, a vertical cut may be provided in the upper portion of the inner cylinder 1 to facilitate fitting. Each of the engaging step portions may be provided at one or more positions in the intermediate position, and the unevenness may be any. Further, the outer cylinder 2 and the movable cylinder 3 may be fitted so that they can be rotated integrally with each other, and the flat surfaces 2c and 3a may be replaced by uneven surfaces or uneven lines. .

In the container having the above-mentioned configuration, when the movable cylinder 3 is located at the lower side, the gripping cylinder portion 1a and the movable cylinder 3 are respectively grasped by both fingers and rotated in opposite directions (palm portion of one hand). If the grip cylinder part 1a is placed on, and the movable cylinder is sandwiched between the thumb and the fingertips of the other fingers, they rotate in opposite directions), the movable cylinder 3 and the outer cylinder 2 rotate integrally. Therefore, while the pivot 4c and the protrusion 2b move toward and away from each other by the reciprocal rotation of the inner and outer cylinders 1 and 2, the protrusion 2b presses the side wall of the groove cam 4d to rotate the lid 4 back and forth 180 degrees. Become.

Further, the movable barrel 3 is placed in a lower position because it comes into contact with the bottom face of the lid when the lid is open, but it is fitted to the fitting portion 4b of the lid 4 when the lid is closed as shown in FIG. The lid 4 can be slid upward until it comes into contact with the projecting edge 4a. In this fitted state, the lid 4 is prevented from rotating and the joint of the lid 4 is covered.

FIGS. 3 to 9 show an example of a structure in which the container body and the lid are linked, which is different from the above, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the lid and FIG.
The figure is a plan view of the container body, and FIGS. 6 to 9 are plan views showing the opened / closed state of the lid.

If the lid 4 has a perfect circular shape in a plan view, the peripheral portion near the pivot 4c projects into the inner cylinder 1 in a state where the lid 4 is rotated by about 180 ° with respect to the container body and opened. A part of the peripheral edge of the lid is formed in a cutout shape as a cutout portion 4e, and a pivot shaft 4c is projectingly provided on the lid bottom surface near the center of the cutout portion 4e, and the groove cam 4d is formed from the pivot shaft 4c portion. A projection 4f is formed at a bottom surface position near the end of the cutout portion 4e on the open end side of 4d, and a projection is formed at a position near the periphery of the lid bottom surface, which is appropriately separated from the projection 4f beyond the groove cam 4d.
