Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an incense stick box.

Traditionally, incense sticks have been sold in bundles packed in rectangular parallelepiped packaging containers. On the other hand, when incense sticks are kept near a Buddhist altar, the incense sticks are usually stored loose in a container. In this case, the container used may be the same as the packaging used for sale, or other plate-shaped or cylindrical containers.
In either case, it is usually left uncovered so that it can be easily taken out. Therefore, there are inconveniences such as the incense sticks becoming covered with dust or the incense sticks scattering around when an impact is accidentally applied to the container.

The object of the present invention is to provide an incense stick box that eliminates such inconveniences.

The present invention provides an incense stick box consisting of a top opening container having a length and a required width corresponding to the length of the incense sticks to be stored, and a lid body that closes the top opening of the container. An elongated slit larger than the thickness of the incense stick is provided so as to extend in the horizontal direction, and one end of the slit is made into a large opening,
The incense stick box is characterized in that the inner bottom surface of the container is formed into an inclined surface that is shallow on both sides in the width direction and gradually becomes deeper toward just below the slit of the lid.

According to the present invention, since there is a lid, the incense stick is protected from dust, and the incense stick is not scattered due to impact to the container. Furthermore, the incense stick can be easily taken out by inserting one's fingers into the large opening, picking up the incense stick, and passing it through the slit, so there is no need to worry about opening and closing the lid. Furthermore, since the inner bottom of the container is sloped as mentioned above, the incense sticks on both sides will move directly below the slit during use.
Therefore, you can easily take out the last one.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the illustrated incense stick box 1 has a box 11 in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with an open top, and a lid 12 fitted to close the opening. The box 11 is slightly longer than the length of the incense stick 2, has the required width and height, and has an inner bottom 1 inside.
It has 3. The lid 12 is formed with an elongated slit 12a having a width larger than the thickness of the incense stick and extending in the length direction of the lid, approximately at the center in the width direction, and one end of the slit 12a has a large opening 12b. has been done. This large opening 12b
should be at least large enough to fit your thumb and index finger.

The inner bottom 13 has wall bodies 13a, 13a adjacent to the corresponding side walls of the box 11 on both sides in the width direction, and both wall bodies 13.
It consists of a partial cylindrical face body 13b which connects the tops of the faces 13a and 13a and has a concave central part.

The side wall portions 12c, 12c of the lid 12 are fitted along the inner surface of the side wall of the box 11, as shown by arrows in FIG. It is held in place so that it does not come off easily.

In use, with the lid 12 removed as shown in FIG. 2, the separated incense sticks 2 are placed on the inner bottom 13, and the lid 12 is closed as shown by the arrow in the figure. This state is the state shown in FIG. If this incense stick box is placed near the Buddhist altar, there is a slit 12a and an opening 12b, but since there is a lid 12, the incense sticks will be sufficiently protected from dust, and the incense sticks will easily scatter outside due to impact etc. is prevented from doing so.

To take out the incense stick, insert your finger through the opening 12b and pick up the incense stick, and the incense stick will be taken out through the slit. Even if the amount of incense sticks stored decreases during use, the incense sticks on both sides move along the slanted bottom surface to just below the slit, so even the most moving one can be easily taken out through the slit.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the inner bottom 13 is
Although the box 11 is provided separately from the box 11, it may be formed integrally with the box 11, or the bottom plate of the box 11 itself may be formed into a partially cylindrical shape.

Further, the inner bottom surface is not limited to a partially cylindrical surface, but may be formed as an inclined surface so that the incense sticks on both sides move downwards through the slit as the amount of incense sticks stored decreases.

The materials that make up the incense stick box of this invention are paper, metal,
You can use plastic or other materials that will maintain the box's appearance.

It goes without saying that the incense stick box of the present invention can also be used as a packaging container for selling incense sticks by adding an outer lid.
