  • the scented section 12 can be realized, for example, by printing a fragrance on the lower part 10a.
  • a peelable sticker 14 is attached to the scented section 12.
  • peelable means that the sticker 14 can be easily peeled off from the scented section 12 without damaging the lower part 10a and the scented section 12.
  • the sticker 14 prevents the fragrance of the scented section 12 from dissipating.
  • the tongue portion 70 and the slit portion 80 are provided on the main body 10.
  • the tongue portion 70 provides a tongue 72 connected to the middle portion of the side portion 32.
  • the slit portion 80 provides a slit 82 that is located in the middle portion of the side portion 34 and into which the tongue 72 can be inserted.
  • the tongue 72 can be stretched from the middle portion of the side portion 32 to the middle portion of the side portion 34. Therefore, when the remaining amount of items is low, the tongue 72 can be inserted into the slit 82 so that the item is placed on the tongue 72, and the bottom of the item storage box 1 can be raised while the tongue 72 is in surface contact with the item. Therefore, an item storage box 1 that can stably support items when the bottom is raised is realized without providing a bottom-raising member separate from the main body 10.
  • an item storage box In an item storage box, storing as many items as possible is advantageous in terms of keeping the price per item down.
  • the height of the main body In order to increase the number of items that can be stored in one item storage box, the height of the main body must be increased. Normally, when the height of the main body is increased, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to remove items when there are only a few items left. In this regard, with item storage box 1, which can be raised at the bottom, items can be easily removed even when there are only a few items left, so the above problem caused by increasing the height of main body 10 can be solved. Also, by increasing the height of main body 10, a large space can be secured for printing letters or patterns. Furthermore, since used main body 10 becomes garbage, storing a large number of items in one main body 10 also leads to a reduction in garbage.
  • the tongue 72 is connected to the side portion 32 without being separated from the main body 10. In this case, a part of the tongue 72 is fixed to the side portion 32, so that the tongue 72 is less likely to accidentally come out of the slit 82.
  • the tongue piece 72 is configured to be parallel to the bottom surface 20 when inserted into the slit 82. This also contributes to stable support of items in the item storage box 1 after the bottom is raised.
  • Increasing the distance h1 from the bottom surface portion 20 to the slit portion 80 in the height direction of the main body 10 is advantageous in increasing the bottom-raising effect of the item storage box 1. From this perspective, it is preferable that the distance h1 is equal to or greater than 1/2 of the height h0 of the main body 10. On the other hand, if the distance h1 is too large, the amount of items that can be stored in the item storage box 1 after deformation will be extremely small. From this perspective, it is preferable that the distance h1 is equal to or less than 4/5 of the height h0.
  • the side portion 32 has a fold line 33. This makes it easier to fold the tongue piece 72 neatly at the specified position.
  • the fold line 33 is positioned so that it overlaps the slit portion 80 in a side view. This makes it easier to position the tongue piece 72 inserted into the slit 82 parallel to the bottom portion 20.
  • the length of the tongue 72 is preferably 1.1 times or more, and more preferably 1.2 times or more, the distance d0 from the side portion 32 to the side portion 34. From a similar perspective, the length of the tongue 72 is preferably 1 cm or more longer than the distance d0, and more preferably 2 cm or more longer. On the other hand, if the length of the tongue 72 is too large, it may be difficult to secure the tongue portion 70 in the main body 10 before deformation. From this perspective, the length of the tongue 72 is preferably 1.5 times or less than the distance d0. From a similar perspective, the difference between the length of the tongue 72 and the distance d0 is preferably 5 cm or less.
  • the cut line 50 is made up of bottom cut portions 51 to 53, as well as side cut portions 54 and 55. This allows the cut line 50 for forming the tongue piece 72 to be realized with a simple configuration.

  • the portion surrounded by the perforations 332, 334, 336 and the fold line 338 is the folded portion 312.
  • the perforations 332 and fold line 338 are formed along a straight line extending in the horizontal direction.
  • the perforations 334 and 336 are formed along a straight line extending in the vertical direction.
  • the perforation 334 connects one end of the perforation 332 to one end of the fold line 338.
  • the perforation 336 connects the other end of the perforation 332 to the other end of the fold line 338.
  • the folding portion 312 can be folded above the top surface portion 40 along the fold line 338. It is preferable that the fold line 338 has a crease formed in advance so that the folding portion 312 can be easily folded along the fold line 338.
  • the fold line 338 may consist only of a line printed on the outer member 310 to inform the user of the position of the fold.
  • FIG. 36 is a plan view showing the inner member 320.
  • the inner member 320 has a bent portion 322 (second bent portion).
  • the bent portion 322 is bent upward from the upper surface portion 40, thereby forming an opening 324 (second opening) in the inner member 320 that overlaps with the opening 314.
  • the bent portion 322 and the opening 324 are equal in shape and size.
  • the bent portion 322 is bent upward from the upper surface portion 40, thereby passing through the opening 314 and facing the bent portion 312.
  • the fact that the bent portion 312 and the bent portion 322 face each other means that the back surface of the bent portion 312 faces the back surface of the bent portion 322.
  • FIG. 36 shows the state before the bent portion 322 is bent.
  • the bent portion 322 has a horizontally long shape.
  • the bent portion 322 has a rectangular shape.
  • the horizontal length d34 of the bent portion 322 is equal to the horizontal length d31 of the bent portion 312.
  • the vertical length d35 of the bent portion 322 is greater than the vertical length d33 of the bent portion 312. It is preferable that the difference in the vertical lengths of the bent portion 312 and the bent portion 322 (d35-d33) is 5 mm or more and 10 mm or less.
  • the vertical length d35 of the bent portion 322 is, for example, 12 mm or more and 25 mm or less.
  • Inner member 320 has perforations 342, 344, and 346 formed as cut lines. Inner member 320 also has fold line 348 (valley fold line). The portion surrounded by perforations 342, 344, 346 and fold line 348 is fold portion 322. Perforations 342 and fold line 348 are formed along straight lines extending horizontally. Perforations 344 and 346 are formed along straight lines extending vertically. Perforation 344 connects one end of perforation 342 to one end of fold line 348. Perforation 346 connects the other end of perforation 342 to the other end of fold line 348.
  • the perforation 342 is located outside the fold line 338 in a plan view (lower side in Figures 35 and 36).
  • the perforation 344, the perforation 346, and the fold line 348 are approximately aligned with the perforation 334, the perforation 336, and the perforation 332, respectively, in a plan view.
  • the fold line 348 may be located outside the perforation 332 in a plan view (upper side in Figures 35 and 36). In that case, after the folding portions 312, 322 are folded, the fold of the folding portion 322 will be located outside the opening 314 in a plan view.
  • the item storage box 4 is used with the folding portion 312 and the folding portion 322 folded upward.
  • the folding portion 312 is folded diagonally upward toward the folding portion 322, and the folding portion 322 is folded diagonally upward toward the folding portion 312. That is, when the item storage box 4 is used, the folding portion 312 and the folding portion 322 are folded diagonally upward. It is preferable that the folding portions 312 and the folding portions 322 contact each other in a state where they are folded diagonally upward (and no item is interposed between the folding portions 312 and 322).
  • the height h32 see FIG.
  • the surface (upper surface 40) forming the outlet is formed by the outer member 310 and the inner member 320.
  • the outer member 310 and the inner member 320 are respectively provided with a bent portion 312 and a bent portion 322 that are bent above the upper surface 40.
  • the bent portion 312 is bent to form an opening 314 that serves as the outlet in the outer member 310.
  • the bent portion 322 is bent to pass through the opening 314 and face the bent portion 312. Therefore, the bent portions 312 and 322 face each other above the outlet (opening 314). This makes it more difficult for dust to enter the interior of the item storage box 4 through the outlet than if such a bent portion were not present. Therefore, an item storage box 4 with a structure that makes it difficult for dust to enter the interior is realized.
  • Another advantage is that because the folded sections 312, 322 face each other above the outlet, items pulled out from the outlet are held by the folded sections 312, 322 and are less likely to fall into the item storage box 4.
  • the bent portion 312 When the item storage box 4 is in use, the bent portion 312 is bent diagonally upward from the top surface 40. In this case, when viewed in a plan view, i.e., from a direction perpendicular to the top surface 40, the bent portion 312 overlaps with part of the outlet. This makes it even more difficult for dust to get in compared to when the bent portion 312 is bent vertically upward from the top surface 40.
  • the path for dust to enter is narrower than when the bent portion 312 is separated from the bent portion 322, making it even more difficult for dust to enter. This is also advantageous in increasing the holding power of the bent portion 312 for holding items.
  • the bent portion 312 and the opening 314 are equal in shape and size.
  • the outer member 310 can be made from a single sheet of paper with no cutouts, making it easy to form the outer member 310.
  • the bent portion 322 When the item storage box 4 is in use, the bent portion 322 is bent diagonally upward from the top surface portion 40. In this case, in a plan view, the bent portion 322 overlaps at least a portion of the outlet. This makes it even more difficult for dust to get in compared to when the bent portion 322 is bent vertically upward from the top surface portion 40.
  • the path for dust to enter is narrower than when the bent portion 322 is separated from the bent portion 312, making it even more difficult for dust to enter. This is also advantageous in increasing the holding power of the bent portion 322 for holding items.
  • the upper surface portion 40 has a double structure consisting of an outer member 310 and an inner member 320. This increases the strength of the upper surface portion 40.
  • the sum of the length d33 of the bent portion 312 and the length d35 of the bent portion 322 in the vertical direction can be made greater than the length of the opening 314 (equal to the length d33 of the bent portion 312). This is advantageous in preventing the intrusion of dust.
  • the folding portions 312 and 322 have a horizontally long shape. In this case, the shape of the outlet also becomes horizontally long, making it easier to take out items.
  • the length d31 of the bent portion 312 is too large, the distance from the removal opening to the end of the top surface portion 40 in the horizontal direction will be small, and the strength of the top surface portion 40 may become insufficient. From this perspective, it is preferable that the length d31 is 80% or less of the horizontal length d32 of the top surface portion 40. On the other hand, if the length d31 is too small, the horizontal length of the removal opening will also be small, and it may become difficult to remove items. From this perspective, it is preferable that the length d31 is 60% or more of the length d32.
  • the horizontal length d34 of the bent portion 322 is equal to the horizontal length d31 of the bent portion 312.
  • the bent portion 322 extends horizontally across the entire outlet, which is advantageous in preventing dust from entering.
  • the length d34 may be slightly smaller than the length d31 (for example, about 0.1 mm to 3 mm). This makes it easier for the bent portion 322 to pass through the opening 314.
  • the edge of the opening 314 will interfere with the folding portion 322 when the folding portion 322 is folded. This prevents the folding angle of the folding portion 322 from becoming too large. This makes it easier to maintain the folding portion 322 folded diagonally upward. From this perspective, it is preferable that the distance between the fold line 348 and the perforation 332 in a plan view before the folding portions 312, 322 are folded be approximately 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.
  • the bent portion 322 is bent upwardly of the top surface portion 40, thereby creating an opening 324 in the inner member 320 that overlaps with the opening 314.
  • the inner member 320 covers the back surface of the outer member 310 so as to surround the entire periphery of the removal opening, which is advantageous in increasing the strength of the top surface portion 40.
  • Other effects of the item storage box 4 are the same as those of the item storage box 1.
  • the tip edge 322a of the bent portion 322 is straight is exemplified.
  • the tip edge 22a may have multiple convex portions 350 as shown in FIG. 38.
  • the multiple convex portions 350 of the tip edge 322a include angular convex portions with angular tips and round convex portions with rounded tips.
  • the convex portion 350a located at the very end of the tip edge 322a protrudes more than the convex portion 350b located at the other end of the tip edge 322a.
  • the convex portion 350a is a round convex portion
  • the convex portion 350b is an angular convex portion. Note that when the vertical dimension of the bent portion 322 is not constant as in this example, the maximum value of the dimension is taken as the vertical length d35 of the bent portion 322.
  • protrusions 350 are provided on the tip edge 322a. This can strengthen the holding power of the folded portion 322 for holding an item.
  • the protrusion 350a located at the very end of the tip edge 322a protrudes more than the protrusions 350b located other than at the very end.
  • the protrusions 350a, which are rounded protrusions, protrude it is possible to reduce the risk of a user (especially a child) getting injured by touching the protrusions 350b, which are angular protrusions.
  • the convex portion 350a protrudes more than the convex portion 350b.
  • the tips of all the convex portions 350 on the leading edge 322a may be aligned.
  • all the convex portions 350 on the leading edge 322a may be angular convex portions, or as shown in FIG. 40, all the convex portions 350 on the leading edge 322a may be round convex portions.
  • the tip edge 322a may have a recess 360 as shown in FIG. 41.
  • the recess 360 is configured so that an item can be picked up through the recess 360. That is, as shown in FIG. 42, the recess 360 is large enough to pick up the part of the item (tissue paper 90) that overlaps with the recess 360 (the shaded part) with two fingers (usually the thumb and index finger).
  • the recess 360 is semicircular.
  • the recess 360 is provided in the center of the tip edge 322a. Note that the above-mentioned convex portion 350 (angular convex portion and/or round convex portion) may be provided in the area of the tip edge 322a where the recess 360 is not provided, as shown in FIG. 43.
  • a recess 360 is provided on the leading edge 322a. This makes it easier to pick up one end of an item when pulling it out.
  • the recess 360 is provided in the center of the leading edge 322a. This allows the center of the item to be picked up through the recess 360, allowing the item to be pulled out in a balanced manner.
  • the tongue piece 72 has a rectangular shape.
  • the tongue piece 72 may have a tapered shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 44. In this case, it becomes easier to insert the tongue piece 72 into the slit 82.
  • the horizontal cut portion 63 of the cut line 60 is shown as a straight line.
  • the horizontal cut portion 63 may be wavy, for example, as shown in FIG. 45.
  • the tongue 72 inserted into the slit 82 can be pinched from above and below by the convex portions, making it even more difficult for the tongue 72 to accidentally slip out of the slit 82.
  • the main body 10 may have a plurality of slit portions 80, for example, as shown in FIG. 46.
  • the plurality of slit portions 80 are provided at different positions in the height direction of the main body 10.
  • a plurality of fold lines 33 are provided on the side portion 32, as shown in FIG. 47.

  • the fold line 33 provided on the lower side of the side portion 32 overlaps the slit portion 80 provided on the lower side of the side portion 34.
  • the height of the tongue 72 (the distance from the bottom surface 20) can be adjusted by selecting which slit 82 the tongue 72 is inserted into. This makes it possible to select the degree of bottom raising depending on the remaining amount of items. Also, by providing multiple fold lines 33, the tongue 72 can be more easily positioned parallel to the bottom surface 20 regardless of which slit 82 the tongue 72 is inserted into.
  • the cut line 60 is located below the fold line 35.
  • the cut line 60 may be located above the fold line 35, as shown in FIG. 48.
