[0023] A container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pencil 2, a non-pencil item 3, a tray 4, and a lid 5. In this invention, the term "non-pencil item" refers to an item other than a pencil (an item that is not a pencil).

[0024] The tray 4 is made of resin or the like, and is formed with a recess 6 for a pencil and a recess 7 for a non-pencil item.

[0025] The pencil recess 6 and the non-pencil object recess 7 are each recessed downward from the top surface 4a of the tray 4. A pencil 2 is stored in the pencil recess 6. A non-pencil object 3 is stored in the non-pencil object recess 7 (Fig. 2, Fig. 5 to Fig. 9, and Fig. 10 to Fig. 14 described below show the state when the pencil 2 and the non-pencil object 3 are stored in the recesses 6, 7, respectively, and Fig. 3(A) shows the state when the pencil 2 and the non-pencil object 3 are not stored in the recesses 6, 7, respectively).

[0026] When the pencil 2 is housed in the pencil recess 6 and the non-pencil object 3 is housed in the non-pencil object recess 7, the uppermost surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of the non-pencil object 3 are aligned along the same plane X (Figure 9).

[0027] The above-mentioned "surface portion 20 located at the uppermost side of the pencil 2" means "the portion of the surface of the pencil 2 located at the uppermost side when the pencil 2 is housed in the pencil recess 6". For example, when the cross section of the pencil 2 is polygonal, the above-mentioned "surface portion 20 of the pencil 2" means "one side of the pencil 2 located at the uppermost side when the pencil 2 is housed in the pencil recess 6". Also, for example, when the cross section of the pencil 2 is circular, the above-mentioned "surface portion 20 of the pencil 2" means "the portion of the surface of the pencil 2 along the line segment extending at the uppermost side of the pencil 2 when the pencil 2 is housed in the pencil recess 6".

[0028] The above-mentioned "surface portion 30 located at the top of the non-pencil article 3" means "the portion of the surface located at the top of the non-pencil article 3 when the non-pencil article 3 is accommodated in the non-pencil article recess 7." For example, if the non-pencil article 3 has steps in the up-down direction, the "top surface located at the top of each step" corresponds to the above-mentioned "surface portion 30 of the non-pencil article 3."

[0029] In this embodiment, five ridges 8 extending upward from the bottom of the pencil recess 6 are formed on the tray 4, and six regions 9 separated by the ridges 8 are formed in the pencil recess 6 (FIG. 3(A)). Each region 9 holds one pencil 2, and the holder 1 holds six pencils 2 (FIG. 2(B)). The upper end 8a of each ridge 8 is located below the upper surface 4a of the tray 4 (FIG. 9).

[0030] The container 1 according to this embodiment also includes, as the non-pencil articles 3, six "caps 3A for the pencils 2," one eraser 3B, and one key holder 3C (FIG. 2).

[0031] In the tray 4, six cap recesses 7A, one eraser recess 7B, and one key holder recess 7C are formed as the above-mentioned non-pencil article recesses 7 (FIGS. 2 and 3(A)). Each of the cap recesses 7A, the eraser recess 7B, and the key holder recess 7C are recessed downward from the upper surface 4a of the tray 4. Each of the caps 3A is accommodated in the cap recess 7A, the eraser 3B is accommodated in the eraser recess 7B, and the key holder 3C is accommodated in the key holder recess 7C. The uppermost surface portion 20 of each of the pencils 2, the uppermost surface portion 30A of each of the caps 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C are aligned along the same plane X (FIG. 9).

[0032] As shown in the illustrated example, it is preferable that the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2, the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 (the surface portion 30A of each cap 3A, the surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C), and the upper surface 4a of the tray 4 are aligned along the same plane X. In this way, it becomes easier to remove the pencil 2 from the pencil recess 6, and it becomes easier to remove the non-pencil item 3 from the non-pencil item recess 7.

[0033] In this embodiment, the tray 4 comprises a tray main plate 10 and a tray outer peripheral wall 11 extending downward from the outer peripheral edge of the tray main plate 10, and the pencil recesses 6 and the non-pencil item recesses 7 (cap recess 7A, eraser recess 7B, and key holder recess 7C) are formed in the tray main plate 10.

[0034] The tray main plate 10 comprises a main body portion 12 constituting the upper surface 4a of the tray 4, a pencil bulge portion 13 constituting the pencil recess 6, and a non-pencil item bulge portion 14 constituting the non-pencil item recess 7. The pencil bulge portion 13 and the non-pencil item bulge portion 14 are each part of the tray main plate 10 that is bent or curved so as to bulge downward from the main body portion 12, and the pencil recess 6 is constituted by the space inside the pencil bulge portion 13, and the non-pencil item recess 7 is constituted by the space inside the non-pencil item bulge portion 14.

[0035] Each of the protrusions 8 is formed on the pencil bulge 13 so as to extend upward from the bottom of the pencil recess 6, thereby dividing the pencil recess 6. The upper end 8a of each of the protrusions 8 is located below the upper surface 4a of the main body 12 (the upper surface 4a of the tray 4).

[0036] The tray main plate 10 is provided with a cap bulge 14A, an eraser bulge 14B, and a key holder bulge 14C as the non-pencil item bulge 14. The cap recess 7A is formed by the space inside the cap bulge 14A, the eraser recess 7B is formed by the space inside the eraser bulge 14B, and the key holder recess 7C is formed by the space inside the key holder bulge 14C.

[0037] As described above, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2, the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil object 3 (the uppermost surface portion 30A of each cap 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of each eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of each key holder 3C), and the upper surface 4a of the tray 4 can be aligned on the same plane X by appropriately adjusting the thickness of the tray main plate 10, the depth of each pencil recess 6, the depth of each non-pencil object recess 7, the thickness of each pencil 2, the thickness of each non-pencil object 3, etc.

[0038] The lower end 11a of the tray peripheral wall 11 is located lower than the lower ends of the bulging portions 13, 14, and is placed on the support surface Y (FIGS. 6, 7, and 9). The lower end 11a of the tray peripheral wall 11 may be located at the same height as the lower ends of the bulging portions 13, 14. In this case, the lower end 11a of the tray peripheral wall 11 and the lower ends of the bulging portions 13, 14 are placed on the support surface Y.

[0039] The lid 5 is made of resin or the like and covers the upper side of the tray 4 (FIGS. 1, 5, 6, and 7). When the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each of the non-pencil items 3 (the uppermost surface portion 30A of each of the caps 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) come into contact with the lid 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lid 5 includes a lid main plate 15 and a lid outer peripheral wall 16 extending downward from the outer peripheral edge of the lid main plate 15. The lid main plate 15 is positioned above the tray main plate 10, and the lid outer peripheral wall 16 is positioned outside the tray outer peripheral wall 11, so that the upper side of the tray 4 is covered by the lid 5 (FIGS. 6 and 7). When the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portions 30 of the non-pencil items 3 (the uppermost surface portions 30A of the caps 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) come into contact with the lid main plate 15 of the lid 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, the container 1 has the uppermost surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 in contact with the lid 5, thereby preventing the orientation of the pencil 2 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1.

[0042] In addition, in the container 1 of this embodiment, the uppermost surface portions 30 of each of the non-pencil objects 3 (the uppermost surface portion 30A of the cap 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) also come into contact with the lid 5, thereby making it possible to prevent the orientation of each non-pencil object 3 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1.

[0043] The lid 5 is preferably made of a transparent material so that the pencil 2 and the non-pencil item 3 can be seen from the outside of the lid 5. As a transparent material for forming the lid 5, for example, amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (abbreviated as A-PET) can be used.

[0044] Moreover, the tray 4 is preferably made of a transparent material so that the pencils 2 and non-pencil items 3 can be seen from the outside of the tray 4. As a transparent material for forming the tray 4, for example, amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (abbreviated as A-PET) can be used.

[0045] Furthermore, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 may be printed using an inkjet printer or the like. In this case, it is particularly preferable to form the lid 5 from a transparent material as described above in order to make the surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 visible. In this way, since the container 1 can prevent the pencil 2 from changing its orientation as described above, the printed surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 can be easily viewed with the lid 5 covering the upper side of the tray 4.

[0046] Furthermore, the uppermost surface portion 30 of each of the non-pencil objects 3 (the uppermost surface portion 30A of each of the caps 3A, the uppermost surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the uppermost surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) may be printed by an inkjet printer or the like. In this case, it is particularly preferable to form the lid 5 from a transparent material as described above in order to make the surface portion 30 of the non-pencil object 3 visible. In this way, since the container 1 can prevent the orientation of the non-pencil object 3 from changing as described above, the surface portion 30 on which the printing is performed of each of the non-pencil objects 3 can be easily viewed with the lid 5 covering the upper side of the tray 4.

[0047] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and may be modified in various ways.

[0048] For example, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the upper surface 4a of the tray 4 may be aligned along the same plane X (Figure 11), and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 (the surface portion 30A of each cap 3A, the surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) may be positioned below the upper surface 4a of the tray 4, so that when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4 (the state shown in Figure 10), the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 does not come into contact with the lid 5, and the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5 (in the illustrated example, when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid main plate 15 of the lid 5). Even if the above is done, the surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5, so that when an external force is applied to the pencil holder 1, it is possible to prevent the orientation of the pencil 2 from changing.

[0049] 12 and 13, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 (the surface portion 30A of each cap 3A, the surface portion 30B of each eraser 3B, and the surface portion 30C of each key holder 3C) are aligned along the same plane X (FIG. 13), and the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 are aligned along the upper surface 4 of the tray 4. As the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil object 3 may be in contact with the lid 5 when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4 (as shown in FIG. 12 ) as the surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil object 3 are in contact with the lid 5 (in the illustrated example, when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil object 3 are in contact with the lid main plate 15 of the lid 5). In this way, the surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 and the surface portion 30 of the non-pencil object 3 come in contact with the lid 5, and thus it is possible to prevent the orientation of the pencil 2 or the non-pencil object 3 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1.

[0050] For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 may be located above the upper surface 4a of the tray 4, and the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 (the surface portion 30A of each cap 3A, the surface portion 30B of the eraser 3B, and the surface portion 30C of the key holder 3C) may be located at the same height as the upper surface 4a of the tray 4 or below the upper surface 4a of the tray 4, so that when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4 (the state shown in FIG. 14), the uppermost surface portion 30 of each non-pencil item 3 does not come into contact with the lid 5, and the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5 (in the illustrated example, when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of each pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid main plate 15 of the lid 5). In this way, the surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5, and therefore, when an external force is applied to the pencil holder 1, it is possible to prevent the orientation of the pencil 2 from changing.

[0051] The tray 4 may be formed of a plate material in which a pencil recess 6 for accommodating the pencil 2 and a non-pencil item recess 7 for accommodating the non-pencil item 3 are formed. In this case, the lid 5 is provided with, for example, a lid main plate and a lid outer peripheral wall extending downward from the outer periphery of the lid main plate, and the lid 5 is arranged so that the lid main plate is located on the upper side of the tray 4 and the lid outer peripheral wall is located outside the tray 4, thereby covering the upper side of the tray 4 with the lid 5. Even in the above case, the container 1 of the present invention is configured so that the uppermost surface portion 20 of the pencil 2 contacts the lid main plate of the lid 5 when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, thereby preventing the orientation of the pencil 2 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1.

[0052] For example, the number of pencils 2 in the container 1 of the present invention may be any number. In the case where the container 1 is to be provided with as many pencils 2 as n, which is a plural number of 2 or more, for example, the protrusions 8 extending upward from the bottom of the pencil recess 6 are formed in the pencil bulge 13 in the number of n-1, so that the pencil recess 6 is divided into n regions 9, and one pencil 2 is stored in each region 9. Alternatively, the container 1 may be provided with multiple pencil recesses 6 recessed downward from the upper surface 4a of the tray 4, and each pencil recess 6 may store one pencil 2, so that the container 1 is provided with multiple pencils 2. In any of the above cases, the container 1 is designed so that "when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the surface portion 20 located at the uppermost position of each pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5," thereby preventing the orientation of each pencil 2 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1. Also, when the container 1 is to have one pencil 2, one pencil recess 6 is formed in the tray 4, and one pencil 2 is stored in the pencil recess 6. In this case, by configuring the container 1 so that "when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 20 of the one pencil 2 comes into contact with the lid 5," it is possible to prevent the orientation of the one pencil 2 from changing when an external force is applied to the container 1.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the container 1 is provided with the cap 3A of the pencil 2, the eraser 3B, and the key holder 3C as the non-pencil article 3, but the container 1 of the present invention may be provided with the cap 3A of the pencil 2 and the eraser 3B as the non-pencil article 3. In this case, the key holder recess 7C is not formed in the tray 4, the cap A is accommodated in the cap recess 7A formed in the tray 4, and the eraser 3B is accommodated in the eraser recess 7B formed in the tray 4. The container 1 of the present invention may be provided with the cap 3A of the pencil 2 and the key holder 3C as the non-pencil article 3. In this case, the eraser recess 7B is not formed in the tray 4, the cap A is accommodated in the cap recess 7A formed in the tray 4, and the key holder 3C is accommodated in the key holder recess 7C formed in the tray 4. The container 1 of the present invention may be provided with the eraser 3B and the key holder 3C as the non-pencil article 3. In this case, the cap recess 7A is not formed in the tray 4, the eraser 3B is accommodated in the eraser recess 7B formed in the tray 4, the cap A is accommodated in the cap recess 7A formed in the tray 4, and the key holder 3C is accommodated in the key holder recess 7C formed in the tray 4.

[0054] The number of non-pencil objects 3 included in the container 1 of the present invention may be any number. When the container 1 includes a plurality of non-pencil objects 3, a plurality of non-pencil object recesses 7 are formed in the tray 4, and a non-pencil object 3 is stored in each of the non-pencil object recesses 7. In this case, it is preferable that the container 1 is configured such that "when the lid 5 covers the upper side of the tray 4, the uppermost surface portion 30 of each of the non-pencil objects 3 comes into contact with the lid 5." In this way, when an external force is applied to the container 1, the orientation of each non-pencil object 3 can be prevented from changing.

[0055] When the number of non-pencil object 3 in the container 1 is one, one non-pencil object recess 7 is formed in the tray 4, and one non-pencil object 3 is stored in the non-pencil object recess 7.
