CONTAINER FOR SMALL-SIZED ARTICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To house tablets in a manner being isolated from the outside and capable of taking out only a predetermined number of pieces readily and reduce the whole of a container in size in comparison with a number of housed tablets. SOLUTION: A main housing space M that houses a plurality of pieces of tablets being aligned vertically is formed at the inside of a longitudinal sleeve-like main body member 10, and a communication hole 11b is made at the upper end of the main body member 10, and also an extrusion spring 13 is put on its lower end. Also, an ancillary housing space S for housing only a predetermined pieces of tablets 1 is formed at the inside of a box-like lid member 15, and a communication discharge hole 16c is provided at the lower surface plate part 16L; subsequently, an open and close part is formed by a lower surface and rear surface plate part 16L, 16R. The lid member 15 is mounted later ally slidably on the upper end side of the main body member 10 in order to allow the plate parts 16L, 16R to be in close contact with the upper end part of the main body member 10 selectively and operate to open and close the communication hole 11b. A predetermined pieces of tablets 1 are moved from the main housing space M to the ancillary housing space S via the communication hole 11b and the communication discharge hole 16c, which is then discharged outside via the communication discharge hole 16c from the ancillary housing space S.
