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 removing rods stored therein 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 each other 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 is provided with an outlet shaped to match the shape of the rod-shaped body, and a configuration has been proposed in which a fixed amount of rod-shaped bodies can be removed from this outlet, for example one at a time. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-83348 A [Patent Document 2] CD-ROM of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 5-63077 (Japanese 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] This patent application was filed because the applicant made improvements to the products described in Prior Art Documents 4 and 1, and added newly constructed face covers 30a, 30b and refill sheets 170a, 170b with the aim of making refilling and removal easier. The old 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 a container for storing cotton swabs as rod-shaped bodies. The removal opening is formed in a direction parallel to the stored cotton swabs, and the stored cotton swabs move in sequence toward the removal opening provided at the bottom of the container due to their own weight, and are always located in a position that makes it easy to remove the cotton swabs from the removal opening, allowing the cotton swabs to be removed from the removal opening without touching adjacent cotton swabs or the cotton parts at both ends with fingers. As the number of cotton swabs taken out from the outlet increases, the number of stored cotton swabs decreases, and gaps are formed between the cotton swabs inside the container. As the gaps increase, when each cotton swab moves to the outlet toward the space created by the removal of the swabs due to its own weight, the orientation of the cotton swabs stored in a parallel orientation to each other becomes distorted, and they are unable to reach the outlet in a parallel orientation. As a result, there is a problem in that 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 wound are thicker than the rod-shaped body, and if the cotton swab becomes misaligned, it is difficult to return it to its original parallel position. Furthermore, as an example of a structure that allows rod-shaped objects contained therein to be removed without disturbing their position, 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, it is unable to maintain its strength, and there are problems with the cut edges of the openings warping, the narrow edges tearing, and the shape becoming distorted with each handling. To solve this problem, products made based on patent documents in the prior art were sold with a structure in which the inner box, which contained the rod-shaped body, was inserted into an outer box of a slightly larger size with the same structure and strength to hold the container, from the side of the outer box, so that the inner box would not collapse. Although this solved the problem of deformation, another problem arose when inserting the inner box from the side, in which 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 removing the refilled product was opened from the side for removing the refilled product, there was a problem that the strength of the narrower side was not maintained, making this unrealistic. In addition, when refilling cotton swabs from a commercially available container, in the product sold based on the prior art document Patent Document 2, it was necessary to apply force by hand to the differently shaped container to crush the circular shape and deform it into an ellipse so that it could be refilled into the storage section from the side of the container body, but this task was problematic in that it was difficult to refill. In addition, when the top tip of the commercially available container deformed into an ellipse from the side or the rod-shaped object coming out of the container entered the storage section, it would get caught on the cut opening on the removal surface, or the rod-shaped object would fall out, making it difficult to refill. Furthermore, due to the nature of the container, there is a problem in that the thickness of the internal space increases the costs of storage and transportation. To provide a rod-shaped body storage container which can store rod-shaped bodies hygienically and without disturbing their posture, is designed not to crush the container even when the removal surface is opened widely, is easy to refill, and has a compact structure 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 body storage container comprising: a storage section for storing a plurality of rod-shaped bodies parallel to one another; a lower removal opening located at the lower part of the removal surface of the storage section and shaped to fit the shape of the stored rod-shaped bodies; an upper removal opening located at the upper part of the removal surface of the storage section and shaped to fit the shape of the stored rod-shaped bodies; 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, for operating the center of the rod of the stored rod-shaped bodies with a finger; a removable dividing member provided within the storage section and having a guide portion that guides a placed rod-shaped body to the vicinity of the lower removal opening by inclining the dividing member; and a front refilling opening portion for refilling the rod-shaped bodies into the storage section, and a removable removal surface lid disposed 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 cover prevents the container from losing its shape due to crushing, warping, tearing, etc. of the openings of each removal port, has openings for the lower removal port, the upper removal port, and the 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 made to function as a removal surface by placing the removal surface lid over the removal surface of the rod-shaped body storage container described above in (1). (5) The removal surface lid is a five-sided lid with a removal surface and sides around it, and in the rod-shaped body storage container described in (1) above, the removal surface lid serves to maintain the shape of the container body as a box even if the material of the container body is soft, by covering the front and back with the removal surface lid.However, if the removal surface lid is made of a material that does not lose its shape, it is also possible to manufacture it as a one-sided lid with only the removal surface and no sides. In addition, the removal surface cover can be manufactured by combining a front removal surface, left and right side surfaces, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a rear surface. It is also possible to manufacture the take-out surface cover 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 become wider, making it harder for the container body to come off; however, by attaching a rear surface to the removal surface lid, it is possible to prevent the container body and the removal surface lid from separating. It is also possible to provide an outlet on the top surface of the outlet lid close to the outlet surface, or to remove the top surface of the outlet lid to serve as an outlet that is connected to a central operating port and used to remove the rod-shaped body, and an opening is also provided in the container body at a position where the openings overlap. In addition, in order to prevent spillage, it is possible to manufacture the container by providing a stopper for the removal opening on the refill aid sheet, the container body, or the removal cover in accordance with the position of the removal opening. The removal surface cover can be made with a lattice, mesh, hole, or bar shape to cover the container body. The side and rear surfaces can be made with a bar or protrusion shape to protect the container body and prevent it from coming off, and can function as a lid. When the rear surface of the removal surface lid is attached to the underside, the container body can be inserted and removed through the upper opening or the rear upper opening of the removal surface lid and then the removal surface lid can be placed on the container body. In addition, 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 a removal surface lid by designing them with chamfered or rounded corners, or curved or sharp edges. (6) A rod-shaped body storage container as described in (1) above, in which the removal surface lid has a removable structure and is structured to be integrated with the removal surface of the storage section by covering it. 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 so that multiple sides or multiple parts of multiple sides are connected to the container body and 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 portion and has the same shape as the storage portion but is made of a deformable material and can be removed to easily place rod-shaped objects contained in containers of different shapes on it, and that can be folded or unfolded to make the entire sheet flat. (8) The refill aid sheet has an opening at the same opening as the central operation opening, and a notch for a stopper for the opening through which the cotton parts on both sides of the central operation opening of each of the lower and upper removal openings pass when removing the rod-shaped body, which is effective in preventing the rod-shaped body from spilling out. (9) A rod-shaped object storage container as described in (1) above, in which the refilling opening side and the bottom part on the opposite side of the refilling aid sheet can be covered with a lid or sheet, forming a bag-like shape. (10) A rod-shaped object storage container as described in (1), wherein the front refill opening is provided on the front of the storage section, and the rod-shaped object including the refill aid sheet is placed on the front of the storage section. (11) A rod-shaped body storage container as described in (1) above, comprising a side refill opening for refilling the rod-shaped body 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. Effect of the Invention

[0006] According to the present invention described in claim 1, a plurality of rod-shaped objects are stored in the storage section in a mutually parallel state from the removal surface that is 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 together while maintaining their parallel state. Until now, there was a problem with the shape of the rod-shaped objects in commercially available cylindrical containers being different when refilling them, as they did not match. When refilling from the side, containers of different shapes were refilled by applying force by hand to crush the circular shape into an oval shape, but there was a problem that when the tip of the container was inserted into the storage section, it would get caught on the cut edge of the opening on the removal surface, or the rod-shaped objects would fall out of the opening on the removal surface. By arranging the rod-shaped object that has been previously transferred into the refilling aid sheet etc. described in claim 2 from the front refilling opening on the front side of the removal surface, refilling can be made easier without the container or rod-shaped object being refilled getting caught in the cut edge. Furthermore, after refilling, a flat lid is placed over the removal surface of the refilling opening. The rod-shaped body is picked up at the central operation opening of the flat lid or pressed with a finger to adjust the position to the removal opening and then removed. Until now, products manufactured based on the prior art document Patent Document 2 have been structured so that the inner storage box containing the rod-shaped body is placed into the outer box of the same structure and strength that contains the inner storage box, and the inner storage box is placed into the outer box from the side. However, there was a problem that the cut openings of the respective openings got caught on each other. However, the removal surface lid has a lid-type structure that covers the opening side of the removal surface of the storage part, and is a configuration that solves the above-mentioned problem. In addition, if the storage part of the container body has an opening on the removal surface, a removal opening, or a central operation opening with a large opening, it has the effect of preventing the storage part, which has a weakened structure, from being crushed or losing its shape. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the storage part using a soft material with low strength. In addition, the refill aid sheet described in claim 2 also has the function of storing rod-shaped objects, and it is possible to combine the refill 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. Due to the inclination of the guide section, the rod-shaped object is guided by its own weight towards the removal surface at the lower front. The position of the rod-shaped object can be adjusted with a finger at the central operation opening opened on the removal surface of the storage section, and the rod-shaped object in the storage section can be guided to slide down sequentially to the lower front surface and guided to the removal openings provided at the upper and lower parts. Note that by combining the guide section with a refilling auxiliary sheet, the surface where the refilling auxiliary sheet comes into contact with the linearly inclined guide section can function as the linearly inclined guide section, so that the inclination of the refilling auxiliary sheet of the storage section can also serve as the guide section. According to the present invention described in claim 2, the refilling aid sheet is made of a deformable plate material that can take the same shape as the inside of the storage section, and can be removed from the container body. When refilling cotton swabs in a commercially available cylindrical container, the plate material of the refilling aid sheet is deformed into a cylindrical shape and the commercially available cylindrical container is refilled into the refilling aid sheet. In the product manufactured based on the prior art document Patent Document 2, it was necessary to crush the circular container with force by hand to deform it into an ellipse so that the container of a different shape could be refilled into the storage section from the side of the container body, but it is possible to solve the problem of difficulty in refilling a commercially available cylindrical plastic container without deforming it into an ellipse. After refilling, the container is returned to the shape of the storage section of the rod-shaped body storage container and placed in the storage section, which has the effect of making refilling easier. Also, by arranging the stick-shaped objects that have been previously transferred to the refilling aid sheet, etc., from the front refilling opening on the removal surface of the container body, refilling is made easier without the container or stick-shaped objects getting caught on the cuts of the removal opening, etc. Since the refilling aid sheet is divided into each storage section, when the two are integrated, problems such as the stick-shaped objects falling out of the other storage section during refilling are eliminated, making refilling easier. The procedure for refilling is shown in Figure 13. In the figure, the cotton swabs, which are all packed together in a commercially available hard plastic container, are transferred directly into the refill sheet. The transferred refill sheet is made of a soft material, so it is shaped like the container body and inserted parallel to the "refill mouth" of the container body to refill it. After refilling, cover it with the lid as shown in Figures 1 to 5. It is also possible to refill without using the refill sheet. 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, making it easy to refill. In addition, the refill 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. It is also possible to provide an opening / closing surface having a take-out port and a central operating port on the take-out surface of the container body. In addition, the rod-shaped object storage container can be removed, folded, or unfolded to become flat and compact, which has the effect of reducing storage and shipping costs. The rod-shaped object storage container has an assembly-type structure, with each part being removable and foldable, and assembled when used, which has the effect of reducing storage and shipping costs. It is also possible to provide the same structure as in claim 1 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 "removal openings" 130a, 130b, 140a, and 140b that open parallel to the surface of the lid. The face cap is on the same surface as the refill opening and the removal opening, and the cotton buds are removed in the same direction, parallel to each other. However, in prior art documents 2, 3, and 5, the cotton part of the bud is grasped perpendicular to the surface (vertical direction) to remove the bud. The structure is different in that the bud is removed perpendicular to the surface of the cap, 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 description 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 body storage container 1 comprises a container body 10 which is generally box-shaped, storage sections 110a and 110b which are provided in the container body 10 and store a plurality of rod-shaped bodies, such as cotton swabs 400 shown in FIG. 40, a linear dividing member 20a which divides the inside of the container body 10 into the storage section 110a and the storage section 110b, or a curved dividing member 20b as shown in FIGS. 17, 18, and 19, and removal openings 130a and 130b formed on removal surfaces 120a on 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, refilling auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b arranged in said storage sections 110a, 110b, and removal surface covers 30a, 30b arranged to cover removal surfaces 120a, 120b. A dividing member 20 that divides the inside of the container body 10 into two storage sections 110a, 110b is provided at an angle to form inclined surfaces 160a, 160b that are inclined with respect to the bottom surface portion 16b and the ceiling portion 16a. A lower removal opening 140a is provided on the removal surface 120a near the bottom surface 16b and an upper removal opening 130a is provided on the removal surface 120a near the ceiling surface 16a, and a lower removal opening 140b is provided on the removal surface 120b, which is the rear surface of the removal surface 120a, near the ceiling surface 16a and an upper removal opening 130b is provided on the removal surface 120b near the bottom surface 16b. The removal surface 120a of the container body 10 is covered with the removal surface lid 30a, and the removal surface 120b is covered with the removal surface lid 30b. In some cases, the removal surface lid 30a and the removal surface lid 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 removal surface lid 30a and the removal surface lid 30b can become the removal surfaces 120a and 120b by opening the entire surfaces of the removal surfaces 120a and 120b of the container body 10 as shown in Figures 5 and 6 and covering them with the removal surface lid 30a and the removal surface lid 30b. In addition, the container body 10 has the function of storing rod-shaped bodies, but the refill auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b also have the function of storing rod-shaped bodies, and by combining the refill auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b it is possible to have the function of the container body 10, and since they become one unit by covering the removal surface lids 30a, 30b, it is also possible not to use the container body 10. In addition, by combining the refilling auxiliary sheets 170a, 170b, the surfaces of the refilling auxiliary sheets in 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 communicates with the outside through the lower outlet 140a or the upper outlet 130a and the central operation port 150a, and the storage section 110b communicates with 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, the central operation opening 150a opens up to the upper surface 501a of the removal surface lid 30a. By widening the opening of this upper surface 501a to a size that allows the rod-shaped object to be removed, and providing removal opening 506a on the upper surface 501a of the removal surface lid and connecting it to the central operation opening as shown in Figures 57, 58, 59, and 60, it is possible to remove the rod-shaped object in the same way as with the 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 body, and forms a removal opening 506a. When the removal opening 506a is provided on the top surface 501a of the removal lid close to the removal surface 120a, or when the top surface of the removal lid is removed to create an opening and the opening is connected to the central operation opening as removal opening 506a to remove the rod-shaped object, an opening is also provided in the container body at a position where the opening overlaps when the removal lid is placed on the container body. Also, in order to prevent spillage, it is possible to manufacture the container by providing a removal opening stopper in accordance with the position of the removal opening on the refilling support sheet, the container body, or the removal lid. When removing the stored cotton swab 400 from the storage section 110a, the rod-shaped object storage container 1 is placed with the bottom part 16b facing the floor. Similarly, when removing the stored cotton swab 400 from the storage section 110b, the rod-shaped object storage container 1 is placed with the ceiling part 16a facing the floor. When storage section 110a and storage section 110b are separated by linear dividing member 20a, the structure within storage section 110a and the structure within storage section 110b are the same. When storage section 110a and storage section 110b are separated by curved dividing member 20b, the structure within storage section 110a and the structure within storage section 110b are different, with storage section 110a on the inside of the arc of the curved dividing member and storage section 110b on the outside of the arc of the curved dividing member, and storage section 110a on the inside of the arc is wider, in which case storage section 110b is narrower but can still be used. When the storage section 110a and the storage section 110b are separated by the linear dividing member 20a, the structure inside the storage section 110a will be described, and the description of the structure of the storage section 110b will be omitted. When the storage section 110a and the storage section 110b are separated by the curved dividing member 20b, the description of the storage section 110a will be the same as that of the storage section 110a when the storage section 110a and the storage section 110b are separated by the 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 become inclined surfaces 160a in storage section 110a, and the cotton swab 400 placed on dividing member 20a slides down along these inclined surfaces toward outlet 140a. This inclined surface 160a becomes linear inclined guide section 50a. The multiple cotton swabs 400 in the storage section 110a are stored in a state parallel to the inside of the inclined surface 160a and the front removal surface 120a, and are guided by the inclined surface 160a toward the lower removal opening 140a below the removal surface due to the weight of the cotton swabs 400. The width of the lower outlet 140a and the upper outlet 130a is formed to match the length of the cotton buds 400, and the vertical width is formed to match the cross-sectional diameter of the cotton portions 410 at both ends. By configuring them in this way, the lower outlet 140a and the upper outlet 130a can be configured to take out one bud at a time, without multiple buds being dispensed at the same time. A central operation port 150a formed upwardly at the center of the lower outlet 140a is connected to the upper outlet 130a. When the lower outlet 140a is not present, the central operation port 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 port 150a. When many swabs 400 remain in the storage section 110a, the swabs 400 are located at the top of the central operation opening 150a, so the topmost swab 400 at the central operation opening 150a is picked up by the central operation opening 150a and pulled up to the upper removal opening 130a, and the swabs 400 are sequentially removed from the upper removal opening 130a. When only a few swabs 400 remain, the bottommost swab 400 at the central operation opening 150a is picked up and the 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 the cotton swabs 400 are to be refilled from a commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300 into the storage section 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 material that is shaped to fit inside the storage section 110a, but can also be rounded, so that the commercially available cylindrical cotton swab container 300 can be inserted into the refill auxiliary sheet 170a and transferred to the auxiliary sheet 170a without spilling the cotton swabs 400, as shown in FIG. 14. The refill auxiliary sheet 170a containing the cotton swabs 400 is returned to the shape inside the storage section 110a, as shown in FIG. 14, while lightly loosening the cotton swabs 400. In this way, the refill auxiliary sheet 170a has the effect of preventing stick-shaped objects from containers of different shapes from scattering, making refilling easy. When placing a rod-shaped object in a refilling auxiliary sheet 170a in the storage section 110a from the front refilling opening 200a, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, it is inserted from the front refilling opening 200a, and if the removal surface 120a is on the container body 10, the removal surface 120a is closed. By refilling from the front refilling opening 200a, the problem of the cut edges of the openings getting caught when the product of the prior art document Patent Document 2 in Fig. 42 is inserted from the side as shown in Fig. 43. When placing a rod-shaped object in a refilling auxiliary sheet 170a in the storage section 110a from the side refilling opening 190, it is inserted from the side refilling opening 190 shown in Figs. 11 and 15, and the side refilling lid 210 is closed. As shown in Fig. 16, it is also possible to refill the container body 10 directly from a commercially available cylindrical cotton bud container 300 from the side refilling opening without using the refilling auxiliary sheet 170a. At this time, the presence of the side refill opening stopper 191a prevents the side refilling palate 210 from opening too far, making it possible to prevent the stick-shaped objects from scattering when being refilled. In addition, when a dividing member 20 having the characteristic of a 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 bud container 300. The refilling aid sheet 170a has an opening the same as that of the central operation opening 150a, and no openings in the areas where the cotton parts 410 on both sides of the central operation opening 150a of each of the lower removal opening 140a and the upper removal opening 130a pass when being removed, but has a notch for the removal opening stopper 180, which has the effect of preventing the rod-shaped bodies from spilling out. After the rod-shaped objects are placed in the refilling aid sheet 170a, the removal surface 120a is covered with the removal surface cover 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. By aligning the opening of the cover 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 rod-shaped objects. In addition, the refilling aid sheet can be removed, which has the effect of making the container body 10 collapsible and compact, thereby enabling reduction in shipping costs. Furthermore, it is possible to refill the rod-shaped objects from the front refill opening 200a of the open removal surface 120a, and the removal surface cover 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 characteristics, the removal surface cover 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 disassembling and thinning it, it is possible to reduce delivery costs.
