BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a container in which a rodlike object, such as a cotton swob and a toothpick, can be hygienically used and easily taken out and, more particularly, to the container capable of improving operability when the rodlike object is taken out and assembly when the container is produced.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, a rodlike object, such as a cotton swob and a toothpick, is accommodated in a capped container, in which the rodlike object is taken out after a cap is removed. Lately, cotton swob usage has tended to increase towards ordinary households and hospitals. The cotton swob is usually used as a daily medical instrument, but also the usage of the cotton swob is opened to other fields, for example, use as one part of a head cleaner for acoustic equipment and so on.
The cotton swob is accommodated in, for example, the capped container or a package bag having flexibility. The cotton swob accommodated in the capped container is taken out after the cap is removed when the cotton swob is required. And, the cotton swob accommodated in the package bag is taken out by being held by the stem portion of the cotton swob from an opening portion after the opening is formed by tearing along a perforated area formed to correspond with the stem portion of the cotton swob. As an example of this case, a cotton swob container according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sho 58-19697 is that an inner cylinder area accommodating the cotton swob is fitted with in an external cylinder to be able to move in the vertical direction of the external cylinder, and the cotton swob is taken out from an opening formed on the inner cylinder which is lifted up in use.
In fact, the capped container can accommodate an abundance of rodlike objects, however, the cotton portion is placed in the side of an extracting opening, thereby it is difficult to be hygienically used, the cotton portion of the cotton swob can be touched by fingers or, at this time, the other cotton portions of the cotton swobs are touched. If a pair of tweezers are used for extracting the cotton swobs, the container should therefore include a pair of tweezers, resulting though in difficult manipulation.
Further, there are common disadvantages among various containers accommodating rodlike objects, such as a cotton swob and a toothpick, for example, if the container accidentally falls on the floor and the cap dislodges from the container, the cotton swobs are scattered on the floor, with the result that the cotton swobs cannot be used.
It is an object of the present invention to provide the container with improvements in the operability when a rodlike object is taken out and in the assembly of the cap, the shutter and the cylinder body of the container.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is structured so that a container, having an open topped cylinder body for accommodating a rodlike object and a cap for covering an opening in the cylinder body, has a retrieving port formed on a circumference wall of the open topped cylinder body to retrieve the rodlike object by holding the middle portion of the rodlike object, and a through-hole for a head portion of the rodlike object which is formed to link through a neck portion to the retrieving port, the width of the neck portion being formed to be smaller than the thickness of the middle portion of the rodlike object.
The other embodiments according to the present invention are characterized by including one or more of the following structures: clearance. open topped cylinder body into a number of rooms and moving therein to be relatively connected with the cap, so that the retrieving port corresponds to one room divided by the divider by turning the cap. the open topped cylinder body into a number of rooms and moving therein, and a shutter portion includes a shutter opening the retrieving port and the through-hole head portion which are formed to the open topped cylinder body, in which the shutter portion is rotated to be linked with the divider. corresponding
