Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing granular articles such as granular gum, confectionery, and tablets.

Conventionally, various types of containers have been used as containers for storing granular materials. Generally, however, a fitting lid or an opening provided near a corner or an end of a container having a body and a lid is used. A slide lid is provided, and a container having a structure in which an opening is opened at the time of taking out and the contents are taken out by swinging out is often used. These containers were inconvenient in that the contents of the containers popped out accidentally when they were taken out, or the number of grains exceeded the required number. (Patent Documents 1 and 2)
Also, for example, when the granular material as the contents is a granular gum, unlike the individually packaged plate-like gum, a separate waste paper for wrapping and discarding the debris after chewing is separately required. In the case of a container, because the gum and the discarded paper exist in the same space, the discarded paper sometimes pops out when the gum is shaken out, as well as sanitary problems.
