[0011] The present invention will be described below in accordance with the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, features and configurations included in certain embodiments described below but not included in other embodiments can be combined with each other. The product storage container of this embodiment can be a metal can, a plastic can, or a paper can. FIG. 1 shows a product storage container 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The product storage container 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a container 101, an upper lid 102, and an inner lid 103. The container 101, the upper lid 102, and the inner lid 103 are all made of metal.

[0012] A product is stored in the container 101, and an item to be provided to a consumer together with the product is stored on the inner lid 103. In another embodiment, a mode in which the product is provided as a bonus when the product is provided to a consumer is also assumed. Therefore, the product and the item are relative terms, and the item stored in the inner lid 103 may be the product. In addition, a transparent window 104 made of a plastic film or plastic plate is arranged on the top of the top lid 102, so that the product placed on the inner lid 103 can be seen by the consumer. In the product storage container 100 of FIG. 1, the top lid 102, the inner lid 103, and the container 101 are all made of metal, and various prints are applied to the surfaces.

[0013] Fig. 2 is an exploded view for explaining the structure of the product storage container 100 shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 2, the upper right side of the container 101 is partially cut away in order to explain the internal structure. Products stored in the container 101 include, but are not limited to, foods such as snacks, rice crackers, confetti, chocolate, cheese, candy, gummies, crackers, and other foods, raincoats, socks, underwear, handkerchiefs, towels, wet towels, sewing tools, and other household goods, hygiene products such as Band-Aids (registered trademark), packet wrappers, and cotton swabs, stationery, luxury items, and local specialties.

[0014] The product storage container 100 shown in Fig. 2 functions as a storage container by storing products in the container 101, closing the container 101 with the inner lid 103, placing the product 105 on the inner lid 103, and then covering the top of the container 101 with the top lid 102. This invention is intended to make it easier for consumers to purchase products for the purpose of the product rather than the product itself. Examples of the product 105 include luxury items such as can badges, pin badges, ladies' accessories, men's accessories, character goods, character cards, accessories, straps, dolls, souvenirs, and event goods, but are not limited to these.

[0015] The top of container 101 has a rounded portion that is rounded along the circumferential direction, which improves the ease of attachment and detachment of inner lid 103 and improves the strength and sealing performance of container 101. Furthermore, the top of container 101 has a diameter that corresponds to the inner diameter of upper lid 102 in order to facilitate attachment and detachment of upper lid 102. Inner lid 103 has a concave shape with a flange formed at its upper end, and stores item 105 in the recess, with the flange portion engaging the upper edge of the container to be held at the top of the container.

[0016] The back side of the article 105 may be fixed with adhesive tape, or the article may be placed on a cushioning material, or the article may be wrapped in plastic wrap or other cushioning material so as not to shift within the inner lid 103. The article 105 may also be stored in a container that fits snugly within the inner lid 103 and then placed in a recess in the inner lid 103.

[0017] Fig. 3 shows a product storage container 200 according to the second embodiment. The product storage container 200 according to the second embodiment shown in Fig. 2 is made of plastic such as polypropylene or PET, and includes a container 201, an upper lid 202, and an inner lid 203. The container 201 is a cylindrical plastic container with a rounded portion extending in the circumferential direction at its upper portion, with the edge of the bottom bent toward the center, and a bottom plate fixed to the bent portion of the bottom by welding or the like.

[0018] As in Fig. 1, the upper right-hand side of the container 201 shown in Fig. 2 is partially cut away to show the internal structure. The inner lid 203 has a concave shape with a flange formed on the upper part, and an article 205 is stored inside the concave shape.

[0019] The inner lid 203 has a small diameter on the lower side and a slightly larger diameter on the flange side so that the inner lid 203 can be smoothly stored by sliding along the rounded portion formed on the upper part of the container 201, and a predetermined holding force is applied to the inner lid 203 when stored.

[0020] The container 201 holding the inner lid 203 is further placed on the top lid 202, and the container 201 and the article 205 are covered. A transparent window 204 is formed on the top of the top lid 202, and the article 205 placed on the inner lid 203 can be seen through the window. The window 204 may be integrally formed when the top lid 202 is molded, or may be formed by joining the window 204, which will be described later, as a separate body depending on the transparency of the plastic material used to form the product storage container 200. The product stored in the container 201 is the same as in the first embodiment, and is not particularly limited. The product 205 may be the same as in the first embodiment, and is not particularly limited.

[0021] In addition, appropriate printing can be applied to the periphery of the container 201 and the top cover 202 and to the flange portion surrounding the window portion 204 of the top cover 202 to improve the appearance of the product or article.

The product storage container 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is generally made of paper having a predetermined strength as a whole, similar to the second embodiment. The container 301 is a paper tube with a bottom plate at the bottom and a rounded portion formed in the circumferential direction at the top, which gives strength to the container 301 and allows the inner lid 303 to be stored and held.

[0023] The inner lid 303 has a shape similar to that of the inner lid 203 of the product storage container 200 of the second embodiment, which enhances the retention of the inner lid 303. The inner lid 303 has a concave shape with a flange formed on the upper part, and an article 305 is stored inside the concave shape.

[0024] FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a product storage container 300 of the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the container 301 holding the inner lid 303 is further placed with the upper lid 302 to cover the container 301 and the article 305. A transparent window 304 is formed in the upper part of the upper lid 404, and the article 305 placed on the inner lid 303 is arranged to be visible through the window. The window 304 of the upper lid 302 of the third embodiment is formed by sandwiching a transparent plastic film or plastic plate between two sheets of cardboard 304a, 304b with a donut-shaped flange and bonding them together with an appropriate adhesive. The cardboard 304a, 304b and the transparent plastic film or plastic plate are pushed from the underside of the upper lid 302 to the underside of the rounded portion in a stacked state, and are held in a state surrounded by the rounded portion and the side wall.

[0025] The product stored in the container 301 is the same as that in the first and second embodiments, and is not particularly limited. The article 305 may be the same as that in the first and second embodiments, and is not particularly limited.

[0026] In addition, appropriate printing can be applied to the periphery of the container 301 and the top cover 302 and to the flange portion surrounding the window portion 304 of the top cover 302, thereby improving the appearance of the product or article.
