Further, the lid 11 includes a top plate portion 21 that covers the upper end opening of the main body 10, and a top plate portion 21 that is located at a position facing the slit 20 of the main body 10 and is attached to the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls 13 and 14 of the main body 10. It is mainly composed of a pair of leg plates 22 that hang down along the line. The leg plate 22 is formed to have a width slightly smaller than the slit 20, and fits into the slit 20 to close it when the lid 11 is closed, and passes through the slit 20 to the main body when the lid 11 is opened or closed. 1
It has been appearing since 0.

Further, a shaft portion 17 of the lid body 11 that fits into the guide groove 15 of the main body 10 is provided to protrude from the outer surface of the lower end portion of the leg plate 22, and the shaft portion 17 allows the leg plate 22 to rotate vertically with respect to the main body 10. It is configured to be freely connected. On the other hand, a through hole 23 passing through the center of the shaft portion 17 is formed at the lower end of the leg plate 22 .

By the way, in this embodiment, the lid body 11 is
In the closed position (that is, the lowering limit position of the saucer 12), it is configured to be vertically rotatable about the shaft portion 17. That is, the upper end 10a of the main body 10 is edged in an arc shape when viewed from the side walls 13 and 14, and the inner surface 21a of the top plate portion 21 of the lid body 11 corresponding to this portion is also edged along the curvature of the upper end 10a. It is formed in an arc shape. Note that the curvature of the upper end 10a of the main body 10 and the inner surface 21a of the top plate portion 21 is as follows:
It is determined by considering the size and shape of the entire container, the stroke of the saucer 12, etc., but in the embodiment, the curvature of an arc whose radius is the straight-line distance from the inner surface 21a of the top plate 21 to the shaft 17 is determined. are set to be approximately equal.

Now, to explain the saucer 12, it is formed as a whole to have a rectangular cross section corresponding to the shape of the inner wall surface of the main body 10, and leg plates 22 are attached to the outer surface of both side walls.
A protruding shaft 24 that fits into the through hole 23 is provided in a protruding manner.

Next, the operation of the storage container configured as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the lid 11 is in the closed position, the shaft 17 of the leg plate 22 of the lid 11 is
engages with the locking protrusion 16 at the lower part of the guide groove 15, and the saucer 12 is positioned at its lower limit position,
The lid 11 is temporarily fixed in its closed position.

In order to open the lid 11 from this state and make the bar-shaped cosmetic A protrude, the lid 11 must be rotated to the left (towards the front wall where the slit 20 is formed) as shown in FIG. Next, the lid 11 is rotated approximately 180 degrees to be positioned below the main body 10, and the lid 11 is pushed upward to engage the locking protrusion 16.
Disengage the shaft part 17 from the guide groove 1 by continuing to push up the lid body 11 further.
When the cosmetic A is engaged with the locking protrusion 16 on the upper part of the cosmetic A, the cosmetic A becomes in a protruding state as shown in FIG. 3D.
In this state, the shaft portion 17 of the leg plate 22 engages with the locking protrusion 16 on the upper part, and the movement of the leg plate 22 is restricted and the saucer 12 is held at its upper limit position, so that the cosmetic When using A, the cosmetic A in its protruding state will not be accidentally sunk into the main body 10.

Note that by pinching the lid 11 and pulling it directly upward, the shaft 17 of the leg plate 22 is engaged with the locking protrusion 16 on the upper part of the guide groove 15, and then the lid 11 is rotated downward. The device may be brought into the operating condition shown in FIG. 3D.

On the other hand, to store the bar-shaped cosmetic A, it is sufficient to perform the procedure in reverse to the above-described operation.
