CONTAINER FOR SMALL ARTICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container that can be used for keeping small items or as an insect cage by changing the combination of elements leaving the basic structure intact. SOLUTION: With the top and bottom ends of a cylindrical body, an upper end plate 2 and a lower end plate 3 come into contact, and on butting faces 5, 5, grooves 6, 6 are formed, and the top and bottom ends of the cylindrical body 1 are fitted in the grooves 6, 6. The center of the groove 6 meets the centers of the top and bottom end plates 2, 3, and the cylindrical body 1 which is fitted in the grooves 6, 6, and the top and bottom plates 2, 3 are positioned, and a shaft screw 4 is fixed to the lower end plate 3, and is vertically erected from the center of the lower end plate 3. Then, the shaft screw 4 extends by passing a hole which penetrates the center of the upper end plate 2, and with the projected shaft screw 4, a nut 7 is screwed. Therefore, by tightening the nut 7, a distance between the top and bottom end plates 2, 3 becomes smaller, and the cylindrical body 1 is pinched by both top and bottom end plates 2, 3.
