In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a synthetic resin container body for containing contents such as yogurt and butter, which has a circular shape or a substantially oval shape in plan view. A lid 52 made of synthetic resin is formed on the upper opening of the container body 50 to form a container body 53 with a lid. The lid 52 is formed by vacuum-forming a synthetic resin sheet to form a plurality of recesses, and cutting the periphery of the plurality of recesses to form the recessed portion as the cover 52. Since the cutting is performed around the portion, the outer collar 51 that projects outward is inevitably formed around the lid 52. Since the container body 50 has a circular shape or a substantially oval shape in a plan view, the lid 52 also has a circular shape or a substantially oval shape in a plan view. Therefore, the outer collar 51 also has a circular shape or a substantially oval shape in plan view. It has a shape. 10A and 10B are an exploded perspective view and a sectional view of the lid-equipped body 53.

The carrying container 1 for accommodating a plurality of the lidded bodies 53 having the above-mentioned structure is arranged as shown in FIGS.
It has a box shape with an upper opening that is rectangular in plan view. A plurality of holes 3 and a plurality of holes 3a are provided on the side wall 2 on the long side of the transport container 1 in a vertical manner in multiple stages (two stages in the illustrated embodiment). Further, a bottom hole 21 is provided in the bottom surface portion 20 of the transport container 1, and an arbitrary bottom hole 21a of the bottom hole 21 is formed larger than the others, and an automatic take-out device is provided in this portion. The push rod is inserted from below, and the lid-equipped device 53 housed in the transport container 1 is pushed up by the push rod so that the lid-equipped device 53 can be automatically taken out of the transport container 1. .

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a total of ten container bodies 53 each having a substantially oval shape in a plan view are arranged in two rows and set to a size that can be precisely stored, and a predetermined size is set in the transport container 1. The lid-equipped bodies 53 are prevented from rattling when a number of lid-equipped bodies 53 are stored side by side. Also,
At least the upper edge of the upper hole 3 is positioned above the lid 52 in a state where a plurality of lidded bodies 53 are housed side by side in the transport container 1. By positioning the upper hole 3 above the lid 52 with the upper edge portion of the container body 53 with a plurality of lids 53 arranged side by side in the container 1 for transport, the container body 53 with a lid is stored. When the containers 1 are stacked in multiple stages and stored in a freezer, a refrigerator, or a freezer car, the upper space (the space without the lid body 53) in the transportation container 1 is ventilated and the lid body 53 It is possible to cool from the upper surface side, and it is possible to cool from the lower surface side the lidded device body 53 housed in the upper transport container 1 through the bottom holes 21 and 21a provided in the bottom surface portion 20 of the upper transport container 1. It is a thing.

Further, the upper hole 3 is arranged in a laterally shifted manner in a state in which a plurality of lid-equipped bodies 53 are arranged in the carrying container 1 while avoiding the most projecting portion on the side wall 2 side of the outer flange 51. There is. In FIG. 2, the X position is the most protruding portion on the side wall 2 side of the outer collar 51 in the state where a plurality of lid-equipped bodies 53 are arranged in the transport container 1, and the lid-equipped body 53 is placed in the transport container 1. In a state where a plurality of side walls are arranged, the most protruding portion of the outer flange 51 on the side wall 2 side faces the non-hole portion of the side wall 2 on the long side,
Moreover, there is no hole above the facing portion of the side wall 2 at the most projecting portion of the outer collar 51 (see FIG. 2). Then, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a container 53 with a lid is put in from the upper opening of the carrying container 1 and a plurality of them are stored side by side. The lid-equipped body 53 is an outer collar 51 of the lid 52 when storing or taking out.
Part (the most outwardly protruding portion) of the side wall 2 on the long side moves up and down along the non-hole portion to be stored in the transport container 1, or from the transport container 1 As a result, the most outwardly projecting portion (that is, the portion indicated by X) of the outer collar 51 is the edge of the hole 3 (in the illustrated embodiment, the upper hole 3 of the hole 3) when taking in and out. There is no possibility that the outer flange 51 is caught on the edge of the hole 3 and the lid 52 does not come off. Here, the hole 3 is opposed to a portion other than the most projecting portion of the outer flange 51, but the most projecting portion of the outer collar 51 is opposed to the non-hole portion of the side wall 2 on the long side. Therefore, even if the collar-equipped body 53 is laterally displaced, the portion other than the most projecting portion of the outer collar 51 facing the hole 3 does not get caught on the upper edge of the upper hole 3. When the lid 52 has a substantially oval shape in a plan view, the outer collar 51 described above is used.
The most outwardly projecting portion of the outer periphery of the outer flange 51 is at a position of 1/2 on the short side of the outer flange 51 in the length direction and a position of 1/2 on the long side.

By the way, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, support legs 9 and 10 are formed at the lower portions near both sides of the outer surface portion of one side wall 2a of the long side walls 2 respectively. Here, the support leg 9 is narrower than the support leg 10.
