[0009] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the container for storing articles of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a first side view of one aspect in the article accommodating state of the article accommodating container, FIG. 2 is a second side view in the article accommodating state, and FIG. 3 is a third side view in the article accommodating state. Note that FIG. 2 shows a side surface in a state rotated 90 degrees with respect to FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a side surface in a state rotated 90 degrees with respect to FIG. 2.

[0010] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the article accommodating container 1 includes a main body portion 10 having a spherical shape (spherical capsule) composed of a first outer shell portion 11 and a second outer shell portion 12. That is, the hemispherical outer shell portions 11 and 12 (see FIG. 4) configured to be connectable as described later have a configuration in which the accommodation spaces SP1 and SP2 also have a hemispherical shape together with the appearance. Further, a plurality of through holes 18 are provided on the outer surfaces 10s of the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12, respectively.

[0011] The article 50 accommodated in the accommodation space SP is accommodated in a state where a first corner portion 51, two second corner portions 52, and two third corner portions 53, which are parts thereof, protrude from the through holes 18. Further, each of the corner portions 51, 52, 53 protruding from the outer surface 10s of the main body portion 10 is covered with, for example, a transparent packaging portion 60 that wraps the outside together with the outer surface 10s. Note that the degree of protrusion of the article 50 from the through hole 18 is such that when the article accommodating container 1 is supplied from the article supply device, the protrusion does not hinder the rolling of the article accommodating container 1.

[0012] The first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 constituting the main body portion 10 are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin as a material and have appropriate rigidity, and in a substantially spherical state accommodating the article 50, they themselves have a rollable configuration that is easy to roll, and can take a supply and sales form from the article supply device. Note that the article supply device includes an accommodation portion that can accommodate a plurality of article accommodating containers 1 accommodating articles in a random arrangement, a supply portion that can randomly select and supply the article accommodating containers 1 one by one from the accommodation portion, a lock portion that locks the supply portion, an operation portion that can be operated to unlock the lock portion of the lock portion and rotate the supply portion on the condition of paying a price, and a passage portion that allows the article accommodating container 1 to rollably pass from the accommodation portion to the supply port.

[0013] The through holes 18 of the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are formed in positions and shapes corresponding to the accommodated article 50. For example, in the first outer shell portion 11, one rectangular first-type through hole 18A and two elliptical second-type through holes 18B are provided in an arrangement surrounding the top portion 11t of the first outer shell portion 11 at three points. On the other hand, in the second outer shell portion 12, two substantially trapezoidal third-type through holes 18C are provided so as to sandwich the top portion 12t of the second outer shell portion 12.

[0014] Here, the through holes 18 have three types of shapes as described above. The first-type through hole 18A is a shape composed of a straight line or a combination of straight lines (see FIG. 4). The second-type through hole 18B is a shape composed of a curved line or a combination of curved lines (see FIG. 4). The third-type through hole 18C is a shape including a straight line and a curved line (see FIG. 4). In the first-type through hole 18A and the third-type through hole 18C, the inner corner portions 18d at the ends of the straight line portions are configured to have a rounded shape. The size of the through hole 18 with respect to the article 50 is such that the article 50 and the parts constituting the article 50 cannot pass through. Further, the through hole 18 excludes the extremely small circular holes formed in conventional capsules for the purpose of ensuring the airway and ventilation when the capsule is swallowed.

[0015] In addition, the through-holes 18A of the first type are rectangular in shape, which corresponds to the shape of the first corner portion 51. Also, the through-holes 18B of the second type and the through-holes 18C of the third type are also shaped to appropriately correspond to the shapes of the second corner portion 52 and the third corner portion 53. Therefore, the article 50 gets caught on the edge of the through-hole 18 without passing through the through-hole 18. In this embodiment, the main corner portions of the article 50 are accommodated in the five through-holes 18 so as to protrude outward from the outer surface 10s. By accommodating the article 50 in this way, the article 50 is firmly held within the accommodation space SP. Also, the article 50 can accommodate and hold an object larger than the inner diameter size of the accommodation space SP. Note that, as for the size of the article 50 with respect to the main body portion 10, if it is the main body portion 10 where the through-hole 18 is not formed, a part of the article 50 (for example, a protrusion or a corner) contacts the inner wall of the main body portion 10 and is so large that the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 cannot be closed.

[0016] FIG. 4 is a perspective view seen from the outer surface 10s side with the article storage container 1 opened. As shown in FIG. 4, the through-holes 18 are not formed in the vicinity of the opening end portions 11e, 12e of both outer shell portions 11, 12. For example, in the article storage container 1 having a size of about several centimeters, the distance d between the third type of through-hole 18C closest to the opening end portion 12e and the opening end portion 12e is formed at a position more than 5 millimeters away from the opening end portion 12e in the direction of the top portion 12t. Also, the through-holes 18 are not formed at the top portions 11t, 12t of the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 and in the vicinity of the top portions 11t, 12t. Also, the formation locations and shapes of the through-holes 18 do not have specific regularity and are formed at irregular positions and shapes according to the shape of the article 50.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 4, the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are configured such that the area of the region where the through-hole 18 is formed is smaller than the area of the region where the through-hole 18 is not formed. Further, in the first outer shell portion 11, the area of the region where the first type of through-hole 18A and the second type of through-hole 18B are formed is configured to be smaller than the area of the region where the third type of through-hole 18C is formed in the second outer shell portion 12. That is, the second outer shell portion 12 has a larger through-hole area than the first outer shell portion 11 and is configured to be slightly more deformable.

[0018] The first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are connected via a connecting portion 30 provided at the opening ends 11e, 12e. Therefore, the two outer shell portions 11, 12 are configured not to be separable. Further, as a configuration for locking the combined state of the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12, a first locking portion 31 is provided on the opening ends 11e, 12e on the side opposite to the connecting portion 30, and a pair of second locking portions 32 (see Fig. 6) are provided at positions 90 degrees away from the connecting portion 30. Further, on the opening end 11e of the first outer shell portion 11, a fitting projection 11f that protrudes toward the second outer shell portion 12 is provided inside the outer surface 10s. By fitting into the inside of the opening end 12e of the second outer shell portion 12, the fitting projection 11f has a guiding function during opening and closing, and the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are surely connected without displacement at both opening ends 11e, 12e.

[0019] Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the article storage container 1 is in a spherical state and the opposite wall surface is viewed through the through-hole 18. As shown in FIG. 5, in the spherical state where the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are connected, for example, at a position facing the first type of through hole 18A, that is, at a position on the opposite side across the virtual center point Cp of the article storage container 1, there is a configuration having a facing wall portion Ow. This configuration is such that the through holes 18 do not face each other at positions where they completely coincide across the virtual center point Cp. In this way, by providing the through holes 18 at positions that are not symmetric across the virtual center point Cp, it is possible to avoid a decrease in strength in a specific direction in the article storage container 1.

[0020] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the inside of the article storage container 1. The above-mentioned first locking portion 31 and second locking portion 32 will be described in more detail. On the side of the second outer shell portion 12 of the first locking portion 31, a fitting hole 12d is formed in a protruding piece portion 12b that protrudes toward the first outer shell portion 11 side, and on the first outer shell portion 11 side, a protruding portion 11b that fits into the fitting hole 12d is provided on the outer surface 10s. On the side of the second outer shell portion 12 of the second locking portion 32, a fitting port 12c that communicates from the inner surface 10is side to the outer surface 10s is formed so as to form a locking piece portion 12a, and on the first outer shell portion 11 side, a fitting protruding portion 11a that fits into the fitting port 12c is provided.

[0021] When accommodating the article 50 in the article storage container 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are placed in an open state, and the article 50 is placed inside the second outer shell portion 12. At this time, for example, the third corner portion 53 of the article 50 is placed in a direction to be inserted into a pair of third type through holes 18C. Then, the first outer shell portion 11 is closed. In this closing operation, in the first locking portion 31, the protruding portion 11b is fitted into the fitting hole 12d, and further, in the second locking portion 32, the tip locking portion 11c of the fitting protruding portion 11a is hooked on the locking piece portion 12a. As a result, the first corner portion 51 is held by the first type of through hole 18A, and the second corner portion 52 is held by the second type of through hole 18B.

[0022] FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of the engagement state between the article 50 and the through hole 18. As shown in FIG. 6, when the article 50 is housed in the article housing container 1, a part of the article 50 is held in contact with the edge of the through hole 18. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, at the third corner portion 53, its edge 53e is in contact with the contact point 18g of the edge 18e of the through hole 18C of the third type. In this contact state, the edge 18e is pushed by the edge 53e and elastically deformed from the initial position (the position shown by the dashed line) to move outside the container. The contact force at this time is generated, for example, by the engagement of the article 50 at the first corner portion 51 or the second corner portion 52 on the side opposite to the third corner portion 53. By deforming the through hole 18C of the third type (deforming the second outer shell portion 12) in this way, the article 50 is held in the accommodation space SP without rattling.

[0023] Note that the deformation of the through hole 18 does not occur only on the side of the second outer shell portion 12, but the first outer shell portion 11 side also deforms by receiving the same contact force. However, as described above, the first outer shell portion 11 is configured to be less deformable than the second outer shell portion 12 (the through hole area is small), so the deformation is smaller than that of the second outer shell portion 12.

[0024] FIG. 8 is a plan view showing the types of the shapes of the through holes 18. As described above, there are three types of through holes 18. The first type of through hole 18A can be various polygons such as the parallelogram shown in FIG. 8(a) and the triangle shown in FIG. 8(b). In addition to the ellipse shown in FIG. 8(c), the second type of through hole 18B may be a curved line whose edge bulges inward. Further, the third type of through hole 18C is not limited to the curved line whose edge bulges inward as shown in FIG. 8(e), but may be a curved line that bulges outward as shown in FIG. 8(f), or may be a combined shape of these.

[0025] As described above, since the main body 10 of the article storage container 1 of this aspect has a spherical shape, when the article 50 is stored in the storage space SP formed within the main body 10, the appearance can be made spherical. Thereby, it can be made into a shape in which the article 50 rolls, and it can be made into a form that is easy to automatically supply with an article supply device. Further, by storing the article 50 so as to protrude outward from the outer surface 10s through the through hole 18, it becomes possible to store an article 50 larger than the storage space SP. Of course, it is also possible to store an article 50 smaller than the storage space SP, and it becomes possible to accommodate a wide range of sizes of the article 50.

[0026] Further, in the article storage container 1 of this aspect, since the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 have hemispherical storage spaces SP1 and SP2 inside thereof, the storage space SP can be enlarged. Further, since the opening end portions 11e and 12e, which are the combined portions of both outer shell portions 11 and 12, are circular, it is possible to achieve a configuration that is easy to combine.

[0027] Further, in the article storage container 1 of this aspect, since it is configured such that the article 50 cannot pass through the through hole 18, the article 50 can be engaged with the through hole 18 and stored inside the article storage container 1.

[0028] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, by adopting a hole opening structure in which the through hole 18 is provided in both outer shell portions 11 and 12, the amount of material of the main body 10 can be reduced. At the same time, it becomes possible to store the article 50 to be stored in the storage space SP in a state of being engaged with the edge portion of the through hole 18.

[0029] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, by adopting a structure in which the formation position and shape of the through hole 18 are adapted to the article 50, the holding of the article 50 by the main body 10 becomes accurate, and it becomes easy to store and take out the article 50.

[0030] Since the article storage container 1 of this aspect is elastically deformable, when storing the article 50, the article 50 can be held more firmly by elastic deformation.

[0031] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, in the surface area of the entire outer surface in the closed state of the article storage container 1, the area of the non-through holes (wall surface portions) is configured to be larger than the total area of the through holes 18, so that the strength of the article storage container 1 can be maintained well.

[0032] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, by changing the size of the through holes 18, the rigidity of the first outer shell portion 11 can be made stronger than the rigidity of the second outer shell portion 12. Thereby, when the article 50 is stored, one side (the second outer shell portion 12) is configured to be easily deformed, while the other side (the first outer shell portion 11) is configured to be difficult to deform. Thereby, the easily deformed portion and the difficult-to-deform portion can be properly used by the engaging portion of the article 50.

[0033] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, since the two outer shell portions 11 and 12 are configured to be combinable and connectable at the opening end portions 11e and 12e, the storage space SP can be widely opened and the article 50 can be easily taken out.

[0034] Further, in the article storage container 1 of this aspect, the through holes 18 are formed at positions separated from the opening end portions 11e and 12e by a predetermined distance or more, so that the rigidity of the connecting portion can be maintained and the protection function of the article 50 can be maintained.

[0035] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, since the through holes 18 are not provided at the top portions 11t and 12t or in the vicinity thereof, the rigidity of the hemispherical main portions of the two outer shell portions 11 and 12 is maintained, and thus the rigidity of the outer shell portions 11 and 12 can be maintained.

[0036] In the article storage container 1 of this aspect, since a plurality of through holes 18 are provided in each of the two outer shell portions 11 and 12, the article 50 can be firmly held by the two outer shell portions 11 and 12.

[0037] According to the item storage container 1 of this embodiment, the shape of the through holes 18 (shape in plan view) has edges that are linear or curved, and various shapes (first to third types of through holes) are provided, so that the way in which the edges deform in response to external force can be diversified. This means that even when a plurality of through holes 18 are provided, stress caused by external force can be dispersed, and stress concentration at a specific location can be avoided, thereby maintaining the strength of the container against external force.

[0038] According to the present embodiment of the item storage container 1, the first type of through hole 18A has a rounded inner corner 18d, which prevents stress from concentrating on the inner corner 18d, making the through hole 18A less likely to break, and providing an item storage container 1 that is easy to handle.

[0039] In the spherical shape of the article storage container 1 of this embodiment, a facing wall portion Ow is present at a position facing the through hole 18 across the container center (virtual center point Cp), facing at least a portion of the through hole 18. This eliminates a state in which there is no wall surface at a symmetrical position when viewed from the container center. This allows the positions of the through holes 18 to be irregular when viewed as a sphere, dispersing the stress concentration areas of the sphere in response to external forces and suppressing a decrease in strength. Furthermore, because the through holes 18 are not regularly shaped, for example, not in a patterned shape with the same shape, stress is more easily dispersed, and a decrease in rigidity due to the formation of the through holes 18 can be suppressed.

[0040] According to the present embodiment of the item storage container 1, the first outer shell portion 11 and the second outer shell portion 12 are connected by the connecting portion 30, so that even when both outer shell portions 11, 12 are open, the outer shell portions 11, 12 do not separate, improving handleability.

[0041] According to this embodiment of the item storage container 1, the item 50 can be protected by being covered with the packaging part 60 while a portion of the item 50 protrudes from the main body part 10, and the external shape of the main body part 10 can be made into a gently curved surface shape overall, eliminating any angular parts.

[0042] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, a part of the article 50 abuts on the edge of the through-hole 18, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the article 50 may be accommodated in such a way that the main body 10 is not deformed by the article 50.
