- the container is closed by a lid 2, which is preferably constructed as a sliding lid slidable in interlocking guides in the bottom part. As shown in FIG. 1, when the lid is in its closing position, it rests against the bottom part 1 to block the entrances of recesses 3. Thus, stones will not dislodge due to an accidental jolting of the container.
- a bore 6 is provided in the lid 2, and a bore 6a is in the bottom part of the container.
- the lid 2 is pushed in, as in FIGURE 5
