Description

The present invention relates to a lidded container that includes a container body that stores contents and a lid that closes the container body, and in particular to a lidded container in which the container body and lid are magnetically engaged.

BACKGROUND ART Lidded containers have been known which include a container body for storing contents such as cosmetic cream and a lid body for screwing onto a nozzle portion of the container body.
When a user operates the lid of such a container with a lid while the contents are stuck to their hands, their hands tend to slip, making it difficult to open or close the lid.
Therefore, even if a user's hand slips between the lid and the container body, it is necessary to easily open and close the lid relative to the container body.

To solve this problem, a known lidded container has been developed in which, when the lid is pressed against the container body, the first protrusion moves along the first inclined portion, causing the lid to begin rotating relative to the container body. A second magnet is provided at the end of the groove connected to the first inclined portion, facing the first inclined portion, in a direction that generates a repulsive force against the first magnet provided on the first protrusion. This repulsive force continues to cause the lid to rotate automatically until just before the container body is closed, even after the first protrusion has passed the first inclined portion (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2021-84667

However, in the lidded container described in Patent Document 1, magnets are fixed to both the container body and the lid, allowing the container body to be easily closed with the lid, making it easy to use. However, because the magnets must be fixed to the container body and the lid so that they do not fall off, there is a problem in that no consideration is given to sorting the magnets when the lidded container is disposed of after use.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems by providing a lidded container that can hold a magnet in place between the container body and lid to prevent it from falling off, and that allows the magnet to be separated from the container body and lid together when discarded.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a lidded container in which a container body that stores the contents and a lid that closes the container body are magnetically engaged. The container body includes a main body that stores the contents, a cylindrical magnetic sorting component that is detachably attached to the main body, and multiple container-side magnets held by the main body or the magnetic sorting component. The main body includes a nozzle formed at the top and a sloped groove recessed into the outer surface of the nozzle, with the container-side magnets positioned inside the lower end. The lid includes an inner cap, an outer cap that fits onto the outside of the inner cap, an inner cylindrical wall formed on the inner cap that is slidable along the outer surface of the nozzle, magnet holders in the same number as the container-side magnets that can be inserted and removed from the inner cylindrical wall along the sloped groove, and lid-side magnets that are held by the magnet holders from the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical wall. The magnetic sorting component protrudes radially and includes magnet pushing ribs in the same number as the container-side magnets that remove the lid-side magnets from the magnet holders during magnetic sorting.

In one embodiment of the lidded container, the main body comprises a main body storage section formed below the opening of the nozzle section and a mounting groove formed between the main body storage section and the nozzle section, and the magnetic sorting component comprises a mounting tube inserted into the mounting groove and a magnet holding section that opens at the upper end of the mounting tube and holds the container-side magnet.The magnet holding section opens upward so that the upper part of the container-side magnet extends beyond the upper end of the mounting tube, and the container-side magnet abuts against the upper end of the mounting groove of the main body when the magnetic sorting component is attached to the main body.
Furthermore, as another embodiment of the lidded container, the container body is provided with a refill container that is removably stored in the main body, the main body is provided with a magnet holding portion that opens downward on the inner periphery of the mouth portion and holds the container-side magnet, and the magnetic sorting component is inserted between the refill container and the lower end of the magnet holding portion of the mouth portion. The mouth portion is provided with a guide recess that is recessed from the upper end of the inner periphery to the magnet holding portion, and the magnetic sorting component is provided with an outer tube whose outer periphery is inserted into the inner periphery of the mouth portion, a ring-shaped upper wall that is connected to the upper end of the inner periphery of the outer tube, an inner tube that hangs from the inner edge of the ring-shaped upper wall and into whose inner periphery the refill container is inserted, and magnet pushing protrusions that protrude from the outer periphery of the inner tube and whose number is the same as the container-side magnets that engage with the guide recesses when sorting the container-side magnets.

By adopting the above-described configuration, the lidded container of the present invention can hold the magnet between the container body and the lid so that it does not fall off, and the magnet can be separated from the container body and the lid together when discarded.

FIG.

Next, the container with lid of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings shown in the following examples.
In the following description, the upward direction in FIG. 1 is referred to as "upper" and the downward direction is referred to as "lower."

In FIG. 1, A denotes a container with a lid, in which a container body B for storing contents such as cosmetic cream and a lid C for closing the container body B are magnetically engaged.
Container-side magnets M1 are separably held at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the outer periphery of the container body B, and lid-side magnets M2 that are attracted to the container-side magnets M1 are separably held at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the inner periphery of the lid body C.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the container body B is composed of a main body B1 that stores the contents, a cylindrical magnetic sorting component B2 that is detachably attached to the main body B1 and holds the container-side magnet M1, and a bottom lid B3 that closes the bottom of the main body B1.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the main body B1 has a bottomless cylindrical body 1 on which a horizontal shoulder 2 is mounted, and a cylindrical mouth 3 is erected in the center of the shoulder 2, so that the main body B1 is integrally molded. The outer periphery of the body 1 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view by a plurality of alternating side portions 1a and corner portions 1b.
The body 1 has a recessed mounting step 4 at the lower end of its inner periphery for mounting the bottom cover B3, and a locking projection 5 protrudes from the lower end of the inner surface of the mounting step 4.
A cylindrical mounting tube 6 is provided on the underside of the shoulder 2, and has a magnet for mounting the sorted parts B2 inside.

The upper part 3a of the nozzle 3 is tapered inward, and an opening 8 is formed inside it. A cylindrical main body storage section 9 with a bottom is formed to store the contents through the opening 8. The space between the lower part of the nozzle 3 and the outer periphery of the main body storage section 9 is recessed up to the middle of the nozzle 3, forming a circumferential mounting groove 10 into which the magnetic sorting parts B2 are inserted from below.
Slope grooves 11 consisting of inclined grooves are recessed at multiple locations on the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle portion 3, and in this embodiment, the slope grooves 11 are formed at four locations every 1/4 of the circumference (90°).
As shown in FIG. 3, the slope groove 11 has a lower end 11a, which is one circumferential end, on the shoulder 2 side, and an upper end 11b, which is the other circumferential end, on the opening 8 side. A steep slope 12 is formed at the upper end 11b, continuing from the groove bottom of the slope groove 11 to the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 3, in order to release the magnet engagement.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the magnetic sorting part B2 is composed of a ring-shaped upper wall 15 whose outer edge fits into the inner circumference of the mounting tube part 6 of the main body part B1 and is attached detachably, an insertion tube 16 that hangs down from the underside of the upper wall 15 and has an outer diameter that is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the mouth tube part 3 of the main body part B1, and a cylindrical mounting tube 17 that hangs up from the inner edge of the upper wall 15, is inserted into the mounting groove 10 of the main body part B1, and holds the container-side magnets M1 in a separable manner at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment).
Magnet pressing ribs 18 are provided at a plurality of locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the outer periphery of the insertion tube 16, protruding radially with a predetermined width.

The mounting tube 17 has an upper portion 17a which tapers inward, and magnet holding portions 20 are recessed at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the inner circumference of the upper portion 17a to separably hold the upwardly opening container-side magnet M1, and an inner engaging tube 21 is provided on the inner edge of the upper portion 17a into which the outer periphery of the main body storage portion 9 is inserted.
In addition, on the outer circumferential side where the magnet holding portion 20 is located at the upper end of the mounting tube 17, a notch 22 is cut out from the upper end with a width narrower than the width of the magnet holding portion 20 and the container-side magnet M1 so as not to interfere with the magnetic force.
As shown in Figure 3, when the magnetic sorting part B2 of this embodiment holds the container-side magnet M1 in the magnet holding portion 20 of the mounting tube 17, the upper part of the container-side magnet M1 protrudes above the upper end of the mounting tube 17, and when the magnetic sorting part B2 is mounted in this state on the main body part B1, the upper end of the container-side magnet M1 abuts against the upper end of the mounting groove 10 of the main body part B1, thereby holding the container-side magnet M1.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bottom cover B3 comprises a bottom plate 25 having an outer periphery that is slightly smaller in diameter than the inner periphery of the trunk 1 of the main body B1 and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and a pressing portion 26 is provided on the underside of one corner side of the bottom plate 25 (the right side in this embodiment), and locking corner portions 27 are provided from the peripheral edges of the other three corners (three places other than the right side) of the bottom plate 25, which abut against the inside of the mounting step portion 4 on the peripheral edge of the corner 1b of the trunk 1 and whose outer edges engage with the locking protrusion 5.
The bottom cover B3 is attached to the main body B1 by engaging the three locking corners 27 with the inside of the mounting step 4 around the corner 1b of the body 1, and as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2(a), by pressing the pushing part 26, the opposite side of the pushing part 26 is flipped over, using the locking corners 27 on both sides of the pushing part 26 as a fulcrum, and the pushing part 26 is removed.

As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, the lid body C is composed of an inner cap C1 on the inside and an outer cap C2 on the outside, and is integrally constructed by fitting the outer cap C2 to the outside of the inner cap C1.
Furthermore, in the lid C, a lid-side magnet M2 is held by a magnet holder C3 so as to be able to protrude and retract radially between the inner cap C1 and the outer cap C2.

The inner cap C1 comprises a top wall 30 that fits tightly against the upper end of the mouth tube portion 3 of the main body portion B1 of the container body B and closes the opening 8, an inner tube wall 31 that hangs down from the periphery of the top wall 30 and can slide along the outer periphery of the mouth tube portion 3, a bottom wall 32 that closes the underside of the inner tube wall 31 from its lower end to the outer periphery, and an attached outer wall 33 that stands upright from the periphery of the bottom wall 32.
A contact ring 30a is provided around the bottom surface of the top wall 30 to come into contact with the upper end surface of the nozzle 3 of the main body B1 and to seal the inside of the main body storage section 9 of the main body B1.

The inner cylinder wall 31 has mounting slots 34 drilled from the upper end to the lower end at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) for attaching the magnet holder C3, and the lower end of the mounting slots 34 is provided with a stopper portion 35 to prevent the magnet holder C3 from coming off inward.
At the location of the mounting slot 34 above the lower wall 32, a guide groove 36 having a width approximately the same as the width of the magnet pushing rib 18 of the magnetic sorting part B2 is cut out from the inside, including a stopper portion 35, and an outlet 37 is opened on the outer periphery side (towards the mounting outer wall 33) of the magnet holder C3.
The outer mounting wall 33 is provided at its lower outer periphery with a fitting recess 38 that fits with a fitting protrusion 47 of the outer peripheral wall 41 of the outer cap C2, which will be described later.

As shown in Figure 1, the outer cap C2 has a top wall 40 similar in shape to the outer peripheral shape of the body 1 of the container body B, an outer peripheral wall 41 hanging down from the periphery of the top wall 40, and a pressure wall 42 hanging down from the underside of the top wall 40.
As shown in FIG. 4B, the outer periphery of the outer wall 41 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view by a plurality of alternately continuous side portions 41a and corner portions 41b.

The pressure wall 42 comprises an inner pressure wall 43 that contacts the inner tube wall 31 of the inner cap C1, an outer pressure wall 44 that contacts part of the mounting outer wall 33 of the inner cap C1 and is located on the outer periphery of the inner pressure wall 43, an opening 45 that opens in the inner pressure wall 43 and restricts from above the magnet holder C3 that is mounted in the long mounting hole 34 of the inner tube wall 31 of the inner cap C1, and connecting walls 46 that connect the inner pressure wall 43 and the outer pressure wall 44 on both sides of the magnet holder C3.
Additionally, a fitting protrusion 47 is provided around the inner circumferential lower end of the outer peripheral wall 41 to fit into the fitting recess 38 of the mounting outer wall 33 of the inner cap C1.

As shown in Figure 5, the magnet holder C3 contacts the mounting slot 34 of the inner cap C1 and the opening 45 of the outer cap C2, and is guided radially in and out so as to be able to move in and out. It consists of a holder tube 50 that holds the lid-side magnet M2 on the inside, an inner wall 51 that closes the inside of the holder tube 50, and a stopper wall portion 52 that is concentrically connected to the outside of the holder tube 50 and has a roughly rectangular shape with an outer periphery that expands in diameter vertically. Extrusion grooves 53 of approximately the same width as the width of the magnet pushing rib 18 of the magnetic sorting part B2 are cut out vertically from the inner wall 51 to a depth of approximately half the lid-side magnet M2 of the holder tube 50.
The inner circumference of the retaining tube 50 is provided with a plurality of retaining protrusions 54 (four in this embodiment) that hold the lid-side magnet M2, and the inner circumference of the stopper wall portion 52 is formed so as to continue from the inner circumference of the retaining tube 50 and expand in diameter in the vertical direction toward the outer end.

The upper and lower inner surfaces of the stopper wall portion 52 of the magnet holder C3 abut against the outer surface of the stopper portion 35 of the inner cap C1 and the upper outer edge of the opening 45 of the inner peripheral pressing wall 43 of the outer cap C2, preventing the magnet holder C3 from coming off in an inward direction. The outer end of the stopper wall portion 52 is designed to be able to abut against the end of the outer peripheral pressing wall 44 of the outer cap C2, preventing the magnet holder C3 from coming off in an outward direction.

Next, the manner of use and the effects of this embodiment will be described.
The lidded container A of this embodiment is formed by molding each part separately and then assembling them.
To assemble the container body B, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the container-side magnets M1 are held in the magnet holders 20 recessed at four locations on the magnetic sorting component B2.
Next, as shown in Figure 2, the magnetic sorting part B2 is positioned so that each container-side magnet M1 is at the lower end 11a of each of the slope grooves 11 arranged at four locations in the nozzle portion 3 of the main body part B1, and is attached to the main body part B1, thereby holding the container-side magnet M1 in place in the main body part B1.
Finally, the bottom cover B3 is attached to the bottom of the main body B1, thereby closing the bottom of the main body B1 and forming the container body B with the container-side magnet M1 held therein.

Next, as shown in Figure 5, prepare the inner cap C1 and outer cap C2 of the lid C. Place the magnet holders C3 holding the lid magnets M2 into the four elongated mounting holes 34 of the inner cap C1. Then, align and press the outer cap C2 from above the inner cap C1, fitting the mating recess 38 of the inner cap C1 into the mating protrusion 47 of the outer cap C2. This completes the installation of the lid C, as shown in Figure 4.

Next, to close the container body B with the lid C, the lid C is placed over the upper end of the mouth 3 of the container body B so that the sides 41a and corners 41b of the outer wall 41 match the sides 1a and corners 1b of the body 1 of the container body B. The lower inner peripheral end of the inner cylindrical wall 31 of the inner cap C1 is guided by the mouth 3, which is formed with a reduced diameter, and sinks into the outer periphery even though the magnet holder C3 protrudes from the inner cylindrical wall 31, and the lid C begins to descend.

Finally, as shown in Figure 1, when the lid C descends to a position where the bottom wall 32 abuts or is close to the shoulder 2 of the container body B, the lid magnet M2 facing the container magnet M1 is attracted by the container magnet M1 located at the lower end 11a of the sloped groove 11 recessed in the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 3. As a result, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, the magnet holder C3 holding the lid magnet M2 protrudes and fits into the sloped groove 11, completing the magnetic engagement between the container body B and the lid C.

Next, when the contents are to be used, the lid C is rotated by a predetermined angle (within 90° in this embodiment) relative to the container body B in the opening direction. The magnet holder C3, while still protruding into the sloped groove 11, is guided by the sloped groove 11 and moves from the lower end 11a toward the upper end 11b. This disengages it from the container-side magnet M1, allowing the lid C to be moved upward in the opening direction.

Then, as shown in Figure 7, when the cover body C rises and the magnet holder C3 reaches the upper end 11b of the slope groove 11, the inner wall 51 of the magnet holder C3 climbs up from the bottom of the slope groove 11 onto the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle portion 3 due to the steep slope portion 12 formed at the upper end 11b, and the magnet holder C3 can be moved radially outward.
This disengages the magnetic holder C3 of the lid C from the sloped groove 11 of the mouth 3 of the container body B, and the lid C can be pulled up from the mouth 3 of the container body B and opened, allowing the contents to be removed and used through the opening 8 of the mouth 3 of the container body B.

When the lidded container A of this embodiment is disposed of, the container-side magnet M1 and the lid-side magnet M2 can be separated from the container body B and the lid C together, so the separation process will be described.
First, the bottom lid B3 is removed from the container body B with the lid body C opened, and then, as shown in Figure 3, the magnetic sorting part B2 is removed from the main body part B1, and the container-side magnet M1 is removed from the magnetic sorting part B2.
The container-side magnet M1 is held by the magnet holding part 20 so as to protrude above the upper end of the mounting tube 17 of the magnetic sorting part B2, so that it can be easily removed by pushing the protruding part of the container-side magnet M1 from the outside toward the inside of the magnetic sorting part B2.
In addition, the container-side magnet M1 can be easily removed by pushing it through the notch 22 of the mounting cylinder 17 with a stick or the like.

Next, as shown in Figure 8, after turning the magnetic separating part B2 upside down, from below the lid body C, align the magnet pushing ribs 18 protruding at four points on the magnetic separating part B2 with the guide grooves 36 arranged at four points on the bottom wall 32 of the inner cap C1, and lift up the magnetic separating part B2.
When the magnetic sorting part B2 is lifted, the magnet pushing rib 18 is inserted into the guide groove 36, and then the tip of the magnet pushing rib 18 is inserted into the extrusion groove 53 of the magnet holder C3.When the magnetic sorting part B2 is further lifted, as shown in Figure 9 (a), the tip of the magnet pushing rib 18 abuts against the inside of the lid side magnet M2 in the extrusion groove 53 and pushes it outward.
Finally, as shown in Figure 9 (b), the outer edge of the upper wall 15 of the magnetic sorting part B2 abuts against the inner edge of the lower wall 32 of the inner cap C1, stopping the lifting of the magnetic sorting part B2, and the lid-side magnet M2, which has been pushed in and released from the holding protrusion 54 on the inner circumference of the holding tube 50 of the magnet holder C3, moves while being guided by the inner surface of the stopper wall portion 52 and is discharged outside through the outlet 37 of the lower wall 32.

As described above, the lidded container A of this embodiment can hold the container-side magnet M1 and lid-side magnet M2 in the container body B and lid body C so that they do not fall out, and when discarded, the container-side magnet M1 and lid-side magnet M2 can be separated from the container body B and lid body C.

Next, a second embodiment in which the configuration of the container body B of the first embodiment is modified will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the following, the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and new reference numerals are given to changed parts of the container body B, and differences will be mainly described.

In FIG. 10, Aa denotes a container with a lid, in which a container body Ba for storing contents and a lid C for closing the container body Ba are magnetically fitted together.
Container-side magnets M1 are separably held at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the outer periphery of the container body Ba, and lid-side magnets M2, which are attracted to the container-side magnets M1, are separably held at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the inner periphery of the lid body C.

As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the container body Ba is composed of a main body portion Ba1 that holds the container-side magnet M1, a magnetic sorting part Ba2 that is detachably attached to the main body portion Ba1, a bottom cover Ba3 that closes the bottom of the main body portion Ba1, and a refill container Ba4 that is removably stored in the main body portion Ba1 and contains the contents.

As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the main body Ba1 has a horizontal shoulder 2 on top of a bottomless cylindrical body 1, a cylindrical mouth 60 erected in the center of the shoulder 2, a mounting step 4 recessed into the lower end of the inner periphery of the body 1, and a mounting tube 6 erected on the underside of the shoulder 2.

The nozzle portion 60 has slope grooves 11, which are inclined grooves, arranged at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the outer peripheral surface, and an upper portion 60a is formed whose diameter tapers inward from the upper end to a position slightly higher than the height of the lower end of the slope grooves 11.
The upper part 60a of the nozzle portion 60 has an attachment portion 61 formed on the inner periphery of the upper end portion for detachably attaching the refill container Ba4, and magnet holding portions 62 are recessed on the inner periphery at positions on the lower ends 11a of the slope grooves 11 in multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment) for separably holding the downward-opening container-side magnet M1.
In addition, a guide recess 63 is formed in the upper portion 60 a of the nozzle 60 between the upper end of the inner magnet holder 62 and the lower end of the mounting portion 61 , with a predetermined width and radial depth.

The magnetic sorting component Ba2 is composed of a ring-shaped upper wall 15 whose outer edge fits detachably around the inner periphery of the mounting tube 6 of the main body Ba1; an insertion tube 16 that hangs down from the underside of the upper wall 15 and has an outer diameter roughly equivalent to that of the outer diameter of the nozzle 60 of the main body Ba1; an outer tube 65 that hangs up from the inner edge of the upper wall 15 and has an outer diameter that fits into the lower inner periphery of the nozzle 60 of the main body Ba1; a ring-shaped upper ring wall 66 that is connected to the upper end of the inner periphery of the outer tube 65; and an inner tube 67 that hangs down from the inner edge of the upper ring wall 66, into which the refill container Ba4 is inserted and whose outer diameter is roughly equivalent to that of the inner periphery of the upper part 60a of the nozzle 60 of the main body Ba1.

Magnet pressing ribs 18 are provided at a plurality of locations (four locations in this embodiment) on the outer periphery of the insertion tube 16, protruding radially with a predetermined width.
On the outer periphery of the inner tube 67, magnetic pushing protrusions 68 are formed at multiple locations (four locations in this embodiment), which protrude with a width and radial depth that allows them to engage from the inside with the guide recess 63 in the upper part 60a of the mouth tube portion 60.

The refill container Ba4 has a cylindrical storage section 70 with a bottom for storing the contents, and a flange section 71 formed radially outward from the opening of the storage section 70. The upper outer edge of the storage section 70 is provided with an attachment protrusion 72 that engages with the attachment section 61 of the nozzle section 60 of the main body Ba1.

Next, the manner of use and the effects of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, the container body Ba holds the container-side magnet M1 from the inside in each magnet holding portion 62 of the main body portion Ba1, and then the magnetic sorting part Ba2 and the refill container Ba4 are attached to the main body portion Ba1.
When the magnetic sorting part Ba2 is attached to the main body Ba1, the lower end of the container-side magnet M1 abuts against the upper surface of the ring-shaped upper wall 66 of the magnetic sorting part Ba2, thereby holding the container-side magnet M1.
Finally, the bottom cover Ba3 is attached to the bottom of the main body Ba1, so that the bottom cover Ba3 closes the bottom of the main body Ba1, forming a container main body Ba that holds the container-side magnet M1.

Next, as in the first embodiment, the magnet holder C3 holding the lid-side magnet M2 is placed between the inner cap C1 and the outer cap C2, completing the setting of the lid C.
Thereafter, as in the first embodiment, the container body Ba is closed with the lid C as shown in FIG. 10, and the magnetic engagement between the container body Ba and the lid C is completed, resulting in a closed lidded container Aa.

In this embodiment, when the contents in the refill container Ba4 are gone, the lid C is removed and the used refill container Ba4 is pushed up from the bottom from within the main body part Ba1 of the container body Ba, which disengages the attachment part 61 of the nozzle part 60 of the main body part Ba1 from the attachment protrusion 72 of the refill container Ba4, allowing the used refill container Ba4 to be easily removed from the container body Ba.
Next, a new refill container Ba4 filled with the contents can be stored in the container body Ba again and used, thereby allowing the container body Ba and the lid C to be reused.

When the lidded container Aa of this embodiment is disposed of, the container-side magnet M1 and the lid-side magnet M2 can be separated from the container body Ba and the lid C, as in the first embodiment.
When removing the container-side magnet M1 from the container body Ba, first, the refill container Ba4 is removed from the container body Ba with the lid C opened, and then the magnetic separating part Ba2 is pushed downward together with the bottom lid Ba3 to be removed, or the bottom lid Ba3 is removed first, and then the magnetic separating part Ba2 is removed.

Next, as shown in Figure 12, from above the main body portion Ba1, the magnet pushing protrusions 68 arranged at four locations on the inner tube 67 of the magnetic sorting part Ba2 are aligned with the guide recesses 63 arranged in the upper part 60a of the mouth tube portion 60, and the magnetic sorting part Ba2 is pushed down.
As the magnetic sorting part Ba2 is pushed down, the tip of each magnet pushing protrusion 68 penetrates the guide recess 63, abuts against the upper end of each container-side magnet M1 held in the magnet holding part 62 below, and pushes it down, finally allowing the container-side magnet M1 to fall out of the magnet holding part 62.
As described above, the container-side magnet M1 can be selected to be held in the main body part Ba1 as in this embodiment, or in the magnetic sorting part B2 as in the first embodiment, depending on the structure of the container main body B or Ba.

Furthermore, when removing the lid-side magnets M2 from the lid C, as in the first embodiment, the magnetic sorting part Ba2 is turned upside down, and then from below the lid C, the magnet pushing ribs 18 arranged at four locations on the magnetic sorting part Ba2 are aligned with the guide grooves 36 arranged at four locations on the bottom wall 32 of the inner cap C1, and the magnetic sorting part Ba2 is then lifted up, allowing the lid-side magnets M2 to be removed all at once.
Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The lidded container of the present invention can hold the magnet between the container body and the lid so that it does not fall off, and the magnet can be separated from the container body and the lid when disposed of. This makes it particularly suitable as a lidded container for storing contents such as cosmetic cream, which can be slippery if it gets on your hands.
