At this time, one to several small office items are attached to the magnet at the tip of the swinging arm and lifted, allowing the small office items to be easily taken out.

In addition, when the lid is closed, the swinging arm is free to swing vertically inside the container (free state), and the tip of the swinging arm descends in response to the amount of small office items inside the container. The magnet at the tip is always close to or in contact with the small office item, and the magnet can reliably attract the small office item.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, the office accessory storage container of the present invention is roughly composed of a lid 1, a swinging arm 2, a container body 3, and a spring 4.

The container body 3 is rectangular in plan view and box-shaped with an upward opening, and has a thin edge portion 31 near the edge of the opening. A vertical slit 32 having a lower end 10 is provided at the center of the upper end of the rear wall 9 of the container body 3. In addition, the left and right large side walls 16, 1 of the container body 3
A circular large hole 33 and a small circular hole 34 are provided at symmetrical positions behind the hole 6.

The swing arm 2 has a substantially L-shape when viewed from the side,
A locking recess 22 is provided below the base 35, and above the base 35 and behind the locking recess 22,
A recessed portion 21 is provided as a pressing portion. The base 35 of the swing arm 2 is inserted into the slit 32 in the rear wall 9 of the container body 3, and the lower end 10 of the slit 32 receives the locking recess 22 below the base 35 and supports it from below. Further, a magnet 5 is fixed to the tip end 8 of the swing arm 2 in a downwardly protruding manner. That is, the bent portion 23 extends downward from the tip 8 of the swinging arm 2 at right angles to form the L-shape.
is provided, and a magnet 5 is fixed to the lower end of the bent portion 23. Note that the magnet 5 may be fixed by any method; for example, adhesion or fitting is preferable.

Next, the lid body 1 is rectangular in plan view and has a shallow bottom box shape with a downward opening, and has a rear wall 41, and is provided at symmetrical positions behind the left and right small side walls 6, 6, respectively. It has pivot pieces 12, 12 that project downward.
Further, in this embodiment, a notch-shaped opening 11 is formed at the lower center of the rear wall 41. Note that it is also possible not to form the cut-out opening 11, and in that case, the vertical length of the slit 32 of the container body 3 may be made slightly larger.

The pivot piece 12 also has a holding pin 13 that passes through the center of its lower part and projects inwardly. By inserting the holding pin 13 into the large hole 33 of the container body 3, the lid 1 can be opened. It is pivotally connected to the container body 3 so that it can swing open and close. The swing arm 2 is held between the lid 1 and the container body 3 so as to be swingable. Further, the pivoting pieces 12, 12 have a small spring hole 38 at the top, into which one end of the spring 4 such as a pinch spring is inserted, and the other end is inserted into the small hole 34 of the container body 3. By pushing in, both springs elastically bias the lid 1 so that the lid 1 swings upward and opens.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the lid 1 is opened, the tip 8 of the swing arm 2 is lifted up. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 3, while the lid 1 is swinging upward from the closed state, the center of the lower edge of the rear wall 41 of the lid 1 touches the base of the swing arm 2. 35
The swinging arm 2 comes into contact with the recess 21, that is, the pressing part, and swings upward along with the lid 1. In the state shown in Fig. 4, the magnet 5 side swings sufficiently downward,
In order to reliably attract the small office item 7, the magnet 5 at the tip 8 of the swinging arm 2 moves the small office item 7 upward by changing from FIG. 4 to FIG. 3 and then to FIG. It can be lifted and the office accessory 7 can be easily taken out.

Further, in the present invention, when the lid is closed, the lower center portion of the rear wall 41 of the lid body 1 is connected to the recessed portion of the swing arm 2.
1 - that is, the pressing part - so as to be in a free state. Therefore, in the closed state, if the amount of small office items 7 in the container is small, the swinging arm 2 tilts downward, and the bent portion 23 of the tip 8 of the swinging arm 2 tilts downward.
The lower magnet 5 is close to or in contact with the bottom surface of the container body 3. Furthermore, if there are a large number of small items in the container (although not shown), the magnet 5 comes into contact with the upper end surface of the piled-up small items, thereby reducing the inclination of the swinging arm 2. In this way, the tilt angle of the swing arm 2 in the closed state changes depending on the amount of small items in the container.

Figure 5 shows the swing arm 2 from Figures 2 to 4.
This diagram schematically shows the movement of Using the locking recess 22 of the swing arm 2 as a fulcrum, the lid 1 is

The lid 1a and arm 2a in the figure correspond to those in FIG. 2, 1c and 2c correspond to those in FIG. 3, and 1d and 2a correspond to those in FIG.
d corresponds to FIG.

Next, FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, a small slit 37 is formed in the lower center of the rear wall 41 in place of the rear opening 11 of the lid 1 in the above embodiment. Furthermore, the holding pin 13 of the pivoting piece 12 is omitted, a connecting hole 39 is provided at that position, a connecting protrusion 14 is provided protrudingly in place of the large hole 33 of the container body 3, and the spring 4 is Individually. Further, the container body 3 is provided with a mortar-shaped raised bottom part 15 so that the office accessories 7 are gathered in the center. A vertical cylindrical portion 46 is formed at the tip 8 of the swinging arm 2, and the magnet 5 is fixed to the lower end thereof.

In addition, the present invention is free to make design changes other than the above embodiments without departing from the gist; for example,
It is also possible to omit the concave portion 21 and make the pressing portion of the swing arm 2 straight.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention has the remarkable effects described below.

By swinging the lid 1 open, the swinging arm 2 rotates upward along with the lid 1, and small office items 7 in the container are attached to the magnet 5 below the tip 8. Therefore, the small office item 7 can be taken out safely and easily.

In addition, when the lid is closed, the swinging arm 2 is tilted in accordance with the amount of small office items 7 in the container, and the magnet 5 below the tip 8 is placed above the piled up small office items 7. Can always come into contact with the end face. Therefore, the magnet 5 can reliably attract the small office item 7, and the container can be taken out without tilting or moving the entire container.
