Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rod-shaped body storage container, and more particularly to a rod-shaped body storage container having a structure for allowing rods stored therein to be taken out in predetermined amounts at a time. [Background technology]

[0002] There are containers that store a plurality of rod-shaped objects such as toothpicks, cigarettes, matches, cotton swabs, etc. These containers store the rod-shaped objects in a bundle parallel to one another and integrate them into a desired size, making them easier to handle, making effective use of cargo space, and reducing transportation costs. Furthermore, as described in prior art documents, such a container has a configuration in which an outlet shaped to match the shape of the rod-shaped body is provided, and the rod-shaped body can be taken out in fixed amounts, for example, one at a time, from this outlet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-83348 [Patent Document 2] CD-ROM of Utility Model Application No. 5-63077 (Utility Model Application No. 7-28081) [Patent Document 3] Registered Utility Model No. 3160788 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 6432010 [Patent Document 5] Registered Utility Model No. 3237597 [Patent Document 6] Utility Model Registration No. 3004414 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The applicant has made improvements to the products of Prior Art Document 4 and Prior Art Document 1, and has filed a patent application for the addition of newly constructed face covers 30a, 30b and refill sheets 170a, 170b, which are designed to make refilling and removal easier. The previous product was made from cardboard, but as a result of resolving the issues, the lid and refill sheet have a new structure, and the lid and container body are currently being developed from a hard material that will not lose its shape, such as acrylic. Prior art documents show containers for storing cotton swabs as rod-shaped objects. The outlet is formed parallel to the stored cotton swabs, and the stored cotton swabs move sequentially under their own weight toward the outlet located at the bottom of the container, always positioned in a position that makes them easy to remove from the outlet. The cotton swabs can be removed from the outlet without touching adjacent cotton swabs or the cotton portions at both ends with the fingers. As the number of cotton swabs removed from the outlet increases, the number of stored cotton swabs decreases, and gaps form between the cotton swabs inside the container. As these gaps increase, when each cotton swab moves toward the outlet under its own weight toward the space created by the removal, the orientation of the cotton swabs stored in a parallel orientation to each other becomes distorted, and they are no longer able to reach the outlet in a parallel orientation. As a result, the cotton swabs are no longer parallel to the outlet, making it difficult to remove them. In particular, cotton swabs have a unique problem in that the ends around which the cotton is wrapped are thicker than the rod-shaped body, making it difficult to return the swab to its original parallel position if it becomes misaligned. Furthermore, as an example of a structure that allows rod-shaped objects to be removed without disturbing their position as contained objects, there is a structure that allows removal from an opening provided at the top, which is also shown in prior art documents. However, when multiple openings are made large on a container, if the container is made of a soft material such as paper, the container cannot maintain its strength, and there is a problem that the cut edges of the openings warp, the narrow edges tear, and the shape becomes distorted with each handling. To solve this problem, products created based on patent documents in prior art documents have been sold with a structure in which the inner container box containing the rod-shaped objects is inserted into an outer container box of a slightly larger size with the same structure and strength to hold the container, so that the inner container box can be inserted from the side of the outer box without collapsing. Although this solved the problem of deformation, another problem arose when inserting the inner box from the side, as the cut edges of the openings would get caught on each other, and even if the inner box was inserted, the cut edges would gradually deform, making it difficult to insert. Also, when the side for refilling was opened from the side for removing the contents, there was the problem that the strength of the tapered side could not be maintained, making this impractical. Furthermore, when refilling cotton swabs from a commercially available container, a product sold based on the prior art document Patent Document 2 required the user to manually crush the differently shaped container, deforming it from a circular shape into an oval, so that the swabs could be refilled into the storage compartment from the side of the container body, but this process was problematic in that it was difficult to refill. Furthermore, when the top end of the commercially available container deformed into an oval shape from the side or the stick-shaped object coming out of the container entered the storage compartment, it could get caught on the cut edge of the opening on the removal surface, or the stick-shaped object could spill out, making refilling difficult. Furthermore, due to the nature of the container, there is a problem in that the thickness of the internal space increases the cost of storage and transportation. To provide a rod-shaped body storage container which can store rod-shaped bodies as stored objects hygienically, without disturbing their posture, has a structure in which the container is not crushed even when the take-out surface is opened widely, is easy to refill, and has a compact structure in order to reduce storage and transportation costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention, which solves the above problems, has the following configuration. (1) A rod-shaped object storage container comprising: a storage section for storing multiple rod-shaped objects parallel to one another; a lower removal opening located at the bottom of the removal surface of the storage section and shaped to fit the shape of the stored rod-shaped objects; an upper removal opening located at the top of the removal surface of the storage section and shaped to fit the shape of the stored rod-shaped objects; a central operation opening located at the center of the removal surface of the storage section, connecting the lower removal opening and the upper removal opening, and for operating the center of the rod of the stored rod-shaped object with a finger; a removable dividing member located within the storage section and having a guide member that guides the placed rod-shaped object to the vicinity of the lower removal opening by inclining the dividing member; and a front refill opening for refilling the rod-shaped objects into the storage section, and a removable removal surface lid arranged on the removal surface of the storage section. (2) A rod-shaped body storage container provided with a removable removal surface lid disposed on the removal surface of the storage section. (3) The removal surface lid prevents the container from losing its shape due to crushing, warping, tearing, etc. of the openings of each removal port, and has openings for the lower removal port, upper removal port, and central operation port on the removal surface, and is placed over the removal surface of the container body, as described in (1) above. (4) The removal surface lid is a reinforcing cover that is placed over the removal surface of the storage section, and even if all of the removal surfaces of the container body are open, the removal surface can be created by placing the removal surface lid over the removal surface of the rod-shaped body storage container described above in (1). (5) The access surface lid is a five-sided lid with an access surface and sides around it, and in the rod-shaped object storage container described in (1) above, even if the material of the container body is soft, by covering the front and back with the access surface lid, the shape of the container body is maintained as a box.However, if the access surface lid is made of a material that does not lose its shape, it can also be made as a one-sided lid with only the access surface and no sides. The access surface cover can be manufactured by combining a front access surface, left and right side surfaces, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a rear surface. It is also possible to manufacture the take-out surface lid with a rear surface. Side or Bottom surface If the rear surface is wider, the contact surface between the container body and the removal surface lid will be wider, making it harder for the container body to come off, but by attaching a rear surface to the removal surface lid, it has the effect of preventing the container body and the removal surface lid from separating. It is also possible to provide a removal opening on the top surface of the removal surface lid close to the removal surface, or to remove the top surface of the removal surface lid to serve as a removal opening that is connected to the central operation opening to remove the rod-shaped body, and an opening is also provided in the container body at a position where the opening overlaps. In addition, to prevent spillage, the refilling aid sheet, the container body, and the dispensing lid can be manufactured with a stopper for the dispensing opening that matches the position of the dispensing opening. The surfaces of the removal surface lid can be made into a grid, mesh, perforated, or rod-like shape and can be fitted over the container body. The side and rear surfaces can also be made into rod- or protruding shapes to guard the container body and prevent it from coming off, allowing it to function as a lid. When the rear surface of the removal surface lid is attached to the underside, the container body can be taken in and out through the upper opening or the upper rear opening of the removal surface lid and then covered with the removal surface lid. Furthermore, although the structure of the removal surface lid and the container body is box-shaped, it is possible to manufacture them so that they function as removal surface lids by designing them with chamfered or rounded corners, or curved or sharp edges. (6) The rod-shaped body storage container according to (1) above, wherein the removal surface lid has a removable structure and is structured to be integrated by covering the removal surface of the storage section. Furthermore, when the removal surface lid is manufactured from a material that does not lose its shape, it is possible to manufacture it in a structure in which one side or part of one side of the removal surface lid, or the removal surface lid is divided and multiple sides or multiple parts of multiple sides are connected to the container body, so that it can be opened and closed like a door, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 51. (7) A rod-shaped object storage container as described in (1) above, which is provided with a refilling aid sheet that is disposed within the storage section, has the same shape as the storage section, but is made of a deformable material, and can be removed to easily place rod-shaped objects in containers of different shapes on it, and can be folded or unfolded to make the entire surface flat. (8) The refilling aid sheet has an opening that is the same as the central operation opening, and notches for the stoppers at the portions where the cotton parts on both sides of the central operation opening of each of the lower and upper outlets pass when being taken out, which is a rod-shaped body storage container as described in (1) above, and has the effect of preventing the rod-shaped bodies from spilling out. (9) A rod-shaped object storage container as described in (1) above, in which the refill opening side and the bottom surface of the opposite side of the refill aid sheet can be closed with a lid or sheet, and the container is bag-shaped. (10) The rod-shaped object storage container according to (1), wherein the front refill opening is provided on the front of the storage section, and the rod-shaped object containing the refill aid sheet is placed from the front. (11) A rod-shaped object storage container according to (1), which is provided with a side refill opening for refilling the rod-shaped object into the storage section. (12) The rod-shaped body storage container according to (1) above, wherein the rod-shaped body has a large diameter portion at one end or both ends. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the present invention as set forth in claim 1, multiple rod-shaped objects are stored in a parallel state in the storage section through a large opening on the front of the container body. The large opening on the front makes it possible to transfer the rod-shaped objects while maintaining their parallel state. Until now, there has been a problem with refilling rod-shaped objects in commercially available cylindrical containers because the shapes did not match. When refilling from the side, containers with different shapes have been refilled by manually applying force to the container, deforming the circular shape into an oval. However, this has led to problems such as the tip of the container getting caught on the cut edge of the opening on the opening on the removal surface when inserting it into the storage section, or the rod-shaped objects spilling out of the opening on the removal surface. By arranging the rod-shaped object that has been previously refilled into the refilling support sheet etc. described in claim 2 from the front refilling opening on the front of the removal surface, it is possible to facilitate refilling without the container or rod-shaped object being refilled getting caught on the cut edge. Furthermore, after refilling, a flat lid is placed over the dispensing surface of the refill opening. The rod-shaped object is then pinched or pressed with a finger at the central opening of the flat lid, adjusted to the dispensing opening, and removed. Previously, products manufactured based on the prior art document Patent Document 2 had a structure in which the inner storage box containing the rod-shaped object was inserted into a strong outer box of the same structure that contained the inner storage box from the side of the outer box. However, this process had the drawback of the cut edges of the openings getting caught on each other. The dispensing lid, a lid-type structure that covers the dispensing surface of the container, solves this problem and also prevents the weakened structure of the container from being crushed or losing its shape when the container body has a dispensing surface opening, a dispensing opening, or a large central opening. This allows the container to be manufactured using a soft, weak material. In addition, the refilling aid sheet described in claim 2 also has the function of storing rod-shaped objects, and it is possible to combine the refilling aid sheet to give the container body the shape and function, and by covering it with a removal surface lid, it has the same structure as a rod-shaped object storage container. The inclination of the guide section allows the rod-shaped object to be guided by its own weight toward the removal surface at the bottom of the front. By adjusting the position of the rod-shaped object with a finger at the central operation port opened on the removal surface of the storage section, the rod-shaped object in the storage section will slide down one by one to the front of the lower part and be guided to the removal port provided at the top or bottom. Furthermore, by combining the guide section with a refill auxiliary sheet, the surface where the refill auxiliary sheet comes into contact with the linear inclined guide section can function as the linear inclined guide section, so the inclination of the refill auxiliary sheet of the storage section can also be used as the guide section. According to the present invention described in claim 2, the refill aid sheet is made of a deformable plate material that can be shaped to match the interior of the storage compartment and is removable from the container body. When refilling commercially available cylindrical containers of cotton swabs, the plate material of the refill aid sheet is deformed into a cylindrical shape, and the commercially available cylindrical container is refilled onto the refill aid sheet. In a product manufactured based on the prior art document Patent Document 2, containers of different shapes had to be manually crushed into an oval shape so that they could be refilled into the storage compartment from the side of the container body. However, this product can solve the problem of difficulty in refilling commercially available cylindrical plastic containers without deforming them into an oval shape. After refilling, the cotton swabs can be returned to the shape of the storage compartment of the stick-shaped object container and placed in the storage compartment, making refilling easier. Furthermore, by placing the sticks that have already been transferred into the refill aid sheet, etc., through the front refill opening on the removal surface of the container body, refilling is facilitated without the container or sticks getting caught on the cut edges of the opening, etc. Because the refill aid sheet is divided into each storage section, problems such as the sticks in one storage section spilling out when the sheets are combined are eliminated, making refilling easier. The refill procedure is shown in Figure 13. In the figure, a bundle of cotton swabs stored in a commercially available hard plastic container is transferred directly into the refill sheet. The transferred refill sheet is made of a soft material, so it can be shaped like the container body, inserted parallel to the "refill opening" of the container body, and then covered with the lid after refilling, as shown in Figures 1 to 5. It is also possible to refill without using the refill sheet, and in that case, since there is no opening (hole) for the removal port in the container body, the cotton swabs will not fly out or get caught, and the effect of easy refilling is the same. In addition, the refilling aid sheet is removable, which has the effect of making it possible to fold the container body, and also makes the entire rod-shaped body storage container compact, which has the effect of making it possible to reduce delivery costs. The take-out surface of the container body may be provided with an openable / closable take-out surface having a take-out opening and a central operating opening. In addition, the rod-shaped object storage container can be removed, folded, and unfolded to become flat and compact, which has the effect of reducing storage and delivery costs.The rod-shaped object storage container has an assembly type structure, and each part can be removed and folded, and can be assembled when used, which has the effect of reducing storage and delivery costs. The same structure as in claim 1 may be provided on the rear surface of the container body. When removing the cotton swabs from the container, the lid has the feature that the central rod is held parallel to the front surface and removed from the "removal openings" 130a, 130b, 140a, 140b that open parallel to the surface of the lid. The face cap is flush with the refill opening and the dispensing opening, and the cotton swabs are taken out in the same direction, parallel to each other. However, in prior art documents 2, 3, and 5, the cotton part of the swab is grasped perpendicular to the surface of the cap to take out the swab. The fact that the cotton is taken out perpendicular to the surface of the cap is a structural difference, and we believe that the functional characteristics are also significantly different in terms of hygiene. The present invention is characterized by its ease of refilling and hygienic removal. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The rod-shaped object storage container 1 comprises a box-shaped container body 10 as a whole, storage sections 110a and 110b provided in the container body 10 and storing a plurality of rod-shaped objects, such as cotton swabs 400 shown in FIG. 40, a linear dividing member 20a or a curved dividing member 20b as shown in FIGS. 17, 18, and 19, which divides the inside of the container body 10 into the storage section 110a and the storage section 110b, and removal openings 130a and 130b formed on removal surfaces 120a on the opposing sides. 40a, removal openings 130b, 140b formed on removal surface 120b behind removal surface 120a, a central operation opening 150a extending from removal openings 130a, 140a, a central operation opening 150b extending from removal openings 130b, 140b, refill auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b arranged in storage sections 110a, 110b, and removal surface lids 30a, 30b arranged to cover removal surfaces 120a, 120b. The dividing member 20 that divides the inside of the container body 10 into two storage sections 110a, 110b is provided at an angle, and forms inclined surfaces 160a, 160b that are inclined relative to the bottom surface 16b and the ceiling surface 16a. On the removal surface 120a, a lower removal opening 140a is provided near the bottom surface 16b, and an upper removal opening 130a is provided near the ceiling surface 16a, and on the removal surface 120b, which is the back surface of the removal surface 120a, a lower removal opening 140b is provided near the ceiling surface 16a, and an upper removal opening 130b is provided near the bottom surface 16b. The take-out surface 120a of the container body 10 is covered with the take-out surface lid 30a, and the take-out surface 120b is covered with the take-out surface lid 30b. In some cases, the removal surface lids 30a and 30b have a removal opening and a central operation opening at the same positions as the removal surfaces 120a and 120b, as shown in Figures 4 and 7. Therefore, structurally, the entire surfaces of the removal surfaces 120a and 120b of the container body 10 can be opened as shown in Figures 5 and 6, and the removal surface lids 30a and 30b can be placed over them, so that the removal surface lids 30a and 30b can become the removal surfaces 120a and 120b. Furthermore, the container body 10 has the function of storing rod-shaped objects, but the refill auxiliary sheets 170a and 170b also have the function of storing rod-shaped objects, and by combining the refill auxiliary sheets 170a and 170b, it is possible to have the function of the container body 10, and since they become one unit when covered with the removal surface lids 30a and 30b, it is also possible not to use the container body 10. Furthermore, by combining the dividing member 20 with the refilling auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b, the surfaces of the refilling auxiliary sheets that come into contact with the linear inclined guide sections 50a, 50b can have the functions of the linear inclined guide sections 50a, 50b, so it is possible not to use the dividing member 20. The storage section 110a is connected to the outside through the lower outlet 140a or the upper outlet 130a and the central operation port 150a, and the storage section 110b is connected to the outside through the lower outlet 140b or the upper outlet 130b and the central operation port 150b. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 24, and 25, central operation opening 150a opens up to upper surface 501a. By widening the opening of upper surface 501a to a size that allows the rod-shaped object to be removed, and providing removal opening 506a on upper surface 501a of the removal surface lid and connecting it to the central operation opening as shown in FIGS. 57, 58, 59, and 60, it becomes possible to remove the rod-shaped object in the same way as upper removal opening 130a. 52, 53, 54 and 60, the structure in which the removal surface cover 30a has no upper surface 501a is also effective for removing the rod-shaped object and forms a removal opening 506a. When the dispenser lid is manufactured so that the dispenser opening 506a is provided on the top surface 501a near the dispenser surface 120a, or the top surface of the dispenser lid is removed to create an opening and the dispenser opening 506a is connected to the central operation port to dispense the rod-shaped object, an opening is also provided in the container body at a position where the opening overlaps when the dispenser lid is placed on the container body. Also, to prevent spillage, it is possible to manufacture the dispenser by providing a dispenser stopper on the refill aid sheet, the container body, or the dispenser lid in accordance with the position of the dispenser opening. When removing the stored cotton swabs 400 from the storage section 110a, the stick-shaped object storage container 1 is placed with the bottom section 16b facing the floor. Similarly, when removing the stored cotton swabs 400 from the storage section 110b, the stick-shaped object storage container 1 is placed with the ceiling section 16a facing the floor. When linear dividing member 20a divides housing section 110a and housing section 110b, the structure inside housing section 110a is the same as the structure inside housing section 110b. As shown in Figures 17, 18, and 19, when curved dividing member 20b divides housing section 110a and housing section 110b, the structure inside housing section 110a is different from the structure inside housing section 110b, with housing section 110a on the inside of the arc of the curved dividing member and housing section 110b on the outside of the arc of the curved dividing member, so that housing section 110a on the inside of the arc is wider; in this case, housing section 110b is narrower but can still be used. When the housing is divided into housing sections 110a and 110b by linear dividing member 20a, the structure inside housing section 110a will be described, and a description of the structure of housing section 110b will be omitted. When the housing is divided into housing sections 110a and 110b by curved dividing member 20b, the description of housing section 110a is the same as that of housing section 110a when the housing is divided into housing sections 110a and 110b by linear dividing member 20a. When the container is divided into storage section 110a and storage section 110b by linear dividing member 20a and curved dividing member 20b, the surfaces of dividing members 20a and 20b within storage section 110a form inclined surfaces 160a, along which swabs 400 placed on dividing member 20a slide down toward outlet 140a. These inclined surfaces 160a form linear inclined guide sections 50a. The plurality of swabs 400 in the storage section 110a are stored parallel to the inside of the inclined surface 160a and the front removal surface 120a, and are guided by the inclined surface 160a under the weight of the swabs 400 toward the lower removal opening 140a below the removal surface. The width of the lower outlet 140a and the upper outlet 130a is formed to match the length of the cotton swab 400, and the vertical width is formed to match the cross-sectional diameter of the cotton portion 410 at both ends. This configuration allows swabs to be taken out one by one from the lower outlet 140a and the upper outlet 130a, without multiple swabs being dispensed at the same time. A central operation opening 150a formed upward in the center of the lower outlet 140a is connected to the upper outlet 130a. If the lower outlet 140a is not present, the central operation opening 150a extends from the center of the upper outlet 130a to the bottom of the inclined surface 160a and is connected to the central operation opening 150a. If there are many cotton swabs 400 remaining in the storage section 110a, the cotton swabs 400 are located above the central operation opening 150a, so the topmost cotton swab 400 in the central operation opening 150a is picked up with the central operation opening 150a and pulled up to the upper removal opening 130a, and the cotton swabs 400 are sequentially removed from the upper removal opening 130a. If there are only a few cotton swabs 400 remaining, the bottommost cotton swab 400 in the central operation opening 150a is picked up and the cotton swabs 400 are sequentially removed from the lower removal opening 140a. However, since the cotton swab 400 below the central operation opening 150a can also be pulled up to the upper removal opening 130a and removed, it can be removed even if there is no lower removal opening 140a, as shown in Figures 24 and 25. When refilling cotton swabs 400 from a commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300 into the storage compartment 110a, the cotton swabs 400 are first transferred to the refill auxiliary sheet 170a shown in FIG. 12, as shown in FIG. 13. The refill auxiliary sheet 170a is a thin, deformable plate made of a material that is shaped to fit inside the storage compartment 110a, but can also be rounded. Therefore, the commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300 can be inserted into the refill auxiliary sheet 170a, and the cotton swabs 400 can be transferred into the auxiliary sheet 170a without spilling, as shown in FIG. 14. The refill auxiliary sheet 170a containing the cotton swabs 400 is then returned to the shape inside the storage compartment 110a, as shown in FIG. 14, while gently loosening the cotton swabs 400. In this way, the refill auxiliary sheet 170a prevents the cotton swabs from differently shaped containers from scattering, making refilling easier. When placing a stick-shaped object in a refill auxiliary sheet 170a into the storage compartment 110a through the front refill opening 200a, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the object is inserted through the front refill opening 200a, and if the dispensing surface 120a is located on the container body 10, the dispensing surface 120a is closed. Refilling through the front refill opening 200a has the effect of solving the problem of the cut edges of the openings getting caught when inserting from the side, as shown in Figure 43, of the product described in Patent Document 2 (prior art document) in Figure 42. When placing a stick-shaped object in a refill auxiliary sheet 170a into the storage compartment 110a through the side refill opening 190, the object is inserted through the side refill opening 190 as shown in Figures 11 and 15, and the side refill lid 210 is closed. As shown in Figure 16, it is also possible to refill the container body 10 directly from a commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300 through the side refill opening without using the refill auxiliary sheet 170a. At this time, the presence of the side refill opening stopper 191a prevents the side refilling lid 210 from opening too far, making it possible to prevent the stick-shaped objects from scattering when being refilled. Furthermore, when a dividing member 20 having the characteristic curved, inclined guide portion 60 is provided as shown in Figures 17, 18, and 19, it becomes possible to easily refill the side refill opening 190 directly from a commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300. The refilling auxiliary sheet 170a has an opening the same as the central operation opening 150a, and no openings in the portions where the cotton parts 410 on both sides of the central operation opening 150a of each of the lower take-out opening 140a and the upper take-out opening 130a pass when taken out, but has notches for the take-out opening stoppers 180, which are effective in preventing the stick-shaped bodies from spilling out. After the rod-shaped objects contained in the refilling assisting sheet 170a are placed, the take-out surface 120a is covered with the take-out surface lid 30a. The removal surface lid 30a is made of a material that does not deform, and by attaching it to the container body 10, it has the effect of preventing the container body 10 from losing its shape. Also, Figure 12 shows two refill aid sheets combined together. By aligning the opening of the face lid with the side of the refill aid sheet with the notch (the stopper for the opening of the 180 refill aid sheet) and covering it, the shape of the refill aid sheet can be maintained without using the container body, and it can be used as a container for storing stick-shaped objects. Furthermore, the refilling aid sheet can be removed, which has the effect of making the container body 10 foldable and compact, thereby enabling reduction in shipping costs. Furthermore, it is possible to refill stick-shaped objects from the front refill opening 200a of the open removal surface 120a, and the removal surface lid 30a can function as a removal surface even in a structure in which there is no removal opening on the removal surface 120a side of the container body 10. Due to the above features, the removal surface lid 30a has a structure and role that are characteristic of the present invention. 20, 21, 22, and 23 are diagrams showing the rod-shaped body storage container 1 of the present invention disassembled to a state before assembly, with each component thinly arranged. By separating and thinning the container, it becomes possible to reduce delivery costs.
