[0017] The second lid member 20 includes a second tubular portion 21, a second perforated flange portion 22, and a second cover 26. The second lid member 20 may further include a second handle 25.

[0018] The second cylindrical portion 21 is made of, for example, hard plastic. The second cylindrical portion 21 may be made of the same material as the first cylindrical portion 11. The elevator rope 3 is wound around the second cylindrical portion 21.

[0019] The second perforated flange portion 22 is connected to the end of the second tubular portion 21. The second perforated flange portion 22 is formed, for example, from a resin plate having a hollow structure. The second perforated flange portion 22 may be formed from the same material as the second tubular portion 21. The second perforated flange portion 22 has a third surface 23 facing the first perforated flange portion 12 and a fourth surface 24 opposite the third surface 23. When the second perforated flange portion 22 is located lower than the first perforated flange portion 12 in the direction of gravity, the third surface 23 is a surface on which the elevator rope 3 rests. The third surface 23 and the fourth surface 24 may be flat.

[0020] The second handle 25 is provided on the fourth surface 24 of the second perforated flange portion 22. The second handle 25 is, for example, a through hole provided in the second perforated flange portion 22.

[0021] The second cover 26 is connected to the peripheral edge of the second perforated flange portion 22. The second cover 26 is, for example, a flexible member. The second cover 26 is, for example, a transparent cover. The second cover 26 is formed of, for example, a transparent resin such as polyvinyl chloride resin. The second cover 26 includes a second engagement portion 27. The second engagement portion 27 is formed, for example, at the distal end of the second cover 26 relative to the second perforated flange portion 22. The second engagement portion 27 is, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a wire fastener.

[0022] The first cover 16 and the second cover 26 can be opened and closed relative to each other. For example, the first slider 30 can be engaged with the first engagement portion 17 and the second engagement portion 27 and move using the first engagement portion 17 and the second engagement portion 27 as guides. By moving the first slider 30 along the first engagement portion 17 and the second engagement portion 27, the first cover 16 and the second cover 26 can be opened and closed relative to each other. The first cover 16 and the second cover 26 may also be completely separable from each other. That is, the first cover 16 and the second cover 26 may be removable from each other.

[0023] The first cover member 10 and the second cover member 20 are arranged along the direction of the axis O of the first cylindrical portion 11. The first hole of the first perforated flange portion 12, the first cylindrical portion 11, the second cylindrical portion 21, and the second hole of the second perforated flange portion 22 are coaxial with one another. The rotating shaft 6 passes through the first hole of the first perforated flange portion 12, and the second holes of the first cylindrical portion 11, the second cylindrical portion 21, and the second perforated flange portion 22.

[0024] The diameter of the first cylindrical portion 11 may be smaller than the diameter of the second cylindrical portion 21, and the first cylindrical portion 11 may be fitted into the second cylindrical portion 21. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first cylindrical portion 11 may be movable relative to the second cylindrical portion 21 in the direction of the axis O of the first cylindrical portion 11. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, at least one of the first cylindrical portion 11 or the second cylindrical portion 21 may be fitted into the rotating shaft 6. The elevator rope storage container 1 may rotate relative to the rotating shaft 6 or may rotate together with the rotating shaft 6.

[0025] An example of a method for storing the elevator rope 3 in the elevator rope storage container 1 will be described. The first slider 30 is moved to open the first cover 16 and the second cover 26. The elevator rope 3 is wound around at least one of the first tubular portion 11 or the second tubular portion 21.

The elevator rope 3 is stored in the space defined by the first tubular portion 11, the second tubular portion 21, the first perforated flange portion 12, the second perforated flange portion 22, the first cover 16, and the second cover 26. In this way, the elevator rope 3 is stored in the elevator rope storage container 1.

[0026] An example of a method for transporting the elevator rope 3 will be described with reference to Figure 5. The rotating shaft 6 is fitted into at least one of the first cylindrical portion 11 or the second cylindrical portion 21, and the elevator rope storage container 1 in which the elevator rope 3 is stored is fixed to the rotating shaft 6. The rotating shaft 6 is placed on a cart 33. The cart 33 is used to transport the elevator rope 3 together with the elevator rope storage container 1 and the rotating shaft 6. Therefore, even if the elevator rope 3 is heavy, the elevator rope 3 can be easily transported. This makes the work of transporting the elevator rope 3 more efficient.

[0027] An example of a method for pulling out the elevator rope 3 from the elevator rope storage container 1 will be described with reference to Figure 6. The first slider 30 is moved to open the first cover 16 and the second cover 26 from each other. The elevator rope 3 is pulled out from the elevator rope storage container 1. The elevator rope storage container 1 rotates with respect to the cart 33 together with the rotating shaft 6. The elevator rope 3 can be pulled out smoothly from the elevator rope storage container 1. The operation of pulling out the elevator rope 3 is made more efficient.

[0028] Referring to Figure 7, a plurality of elevator rope storage containers 1, each containing an elevator rope 3, may be stacked. This allows a plurality of elevator ropes 3 to be stored in a smaller storage space. If the second surface 14 of the first perforated flange portion 12 and the fourth surface 24 of the second perforated flange portion 22 are flat, stacking of a plurality of elevator rope storage containers 1 becomes easy. A plurality of elevator rope storage containers 1 may be fitted together onto the rotating shaft 6.

[0029] 8, the first covers 16 and second covers 26 of the elevator rope storage containers 1 may be opened to simultaneously pull out the elevator ropes 3 from the elevator rope storage containers 1. This makes the operation of pulling out the elevator ropes 3 more efficient.

[0030] (Variation) 9, the elevator rope storage container 1 of the first modified example of this embodiment further includes a tubular connecting member 40. The tubular connecting member 40 connects the first tubular portion 11 and the second tubular portion 21 to each other. Therefore, the elevator rope storage container 1 can store a longer elevator rope 3.

[0031] Specifically, the first cover member 10, the tubular connecting member 40, and the second cover member 20 are arranged along the direction of the axis O of the first tubular portion 11.

The fourth engagement portion 48 is formed at the second end 46 of the cylindrical cover 44. The third engagement portion 47 and the fourth engagement portion 48 are, for example, hook-and-loop fasteners or wire fasteners.

[0036] The first cover 16 and the cylindrical cover 44 can be opened and closed relative to each other. For example, the first slider 30 can be engaged with the first engagement portion 17 and the third engagement portion 47 and move using the first engagement portion 17 and the third engagement portion 47 as guides. By moving the first slider 30 along the first engagement portion 17 and the third engagement portion 47, the first cover 16 and the cylindrical cover 44 can be opened and closed relative to each other. The first cover 16 and the cylindrical cover 44 may be completely separable from each other. That is, the first cover 16 and the cylindrical cover 44 may be detachable from each other.

[0037] The second cover 26 and the cylindrical cover 44 can be opened and closed relative to each other. For example, the second slider 31 can be engaged with the second engagement portion 27 and the fourth engagement portion 48 and move using the second engagement portion 27 and the fourth engagement portion 48 as guides. By moving the second slider 31 along the second engagement portion 27 and the fourth engagement portion 48, the second cover 26 and the cylindrical cover 44 can be opened and closed relative to each other. The second cover 26 and the cylindrical cover 44 may be completely separable from each other. That is, the second cover 26 and the cylindrical cover 44 may be detachable from each other.

[0038] 12, the elevator rope storage container 1 of the third modified example of the present embodiment further includes a tubular connecting member 40, a tubular cover 44, and a second slider 31. Therefore, the elevator rope storage container 1 can store a longer elevator rope 3.
