DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a container that can separately store two types of contents, such as food, in one container and that can be easily taken out.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Until now, as a container for storing two types of contents, such as food and sauce, a dish-shaped container having a storage section divided into two parts has been known. However, when a container of this type is formed into a handy size that can be held with one hand, the width of each of the two storage sections becomes smaller, which reduces the amount of content that can be stored and makes it difficult to take out the contents. There is a drawback.

On the other hand, instead of the above-mentioned dish-shaped container, a cylindrical container in which two types of contents are stored in upper and lower stages has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 170245/1983).

Specifically, the container is formed by a combination of a top with a window cut line formed on the outer circumferential surface of the body and a tray that can be fitted into the top of the top. Then, the bar-shaped sweets are stored in the tip, and the chocolate liquid is stored in the tray.The cut line on the outer circumference of the tip is cut to open a window, and the bar-shaped sweets are taken out from there, and then the chocolate liquid in the tray is applied. and eat it.

However, although this kind of container makes it easier to take out the food stored in the upper tray, it is difficult to take out the contents through the window of the top, and there are problems in that the contents that can be stored in the top are limited to stick-shaped items. . In particular, when the contents are in the form of particles, there is a problem in that the contents cannot be stored in the cup at a position above the window.
