Next, a description will be given of a second embodiment in which the shape and attachment method of the spoon are changed.
The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, differences will be mainly described.

In FIG. 6, A is a container comprising a container body Aa1 and a lid Aa2, and Ba is a spoon.
The container main body Aa1 is different from the first embodiment in that a locking piece for attaching a spoon is not provided.
The lid Aa2 has a support protrusion 30 suspended from the center of the recess 14, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the spoon Ba is composed of a scooping portion 31 whose upper surface is scooped and a handle portion 32 provided continuously to the scooping portion 31. The bottom wall 34 is formed.
The handle portion 32 has a constant thickness and has an upper surface 35 that is flush with the scooping surface, and a transparent portion that is fitted into the support convex portion 30 of the lid Aa2 in the center portion of the handle portion 32. A hole 36 is drilled.
An inclined plate 37 having the same thickness as the thickness of the handle portion 32 extending downwardly from the upper surface 35 is provided at the distal end portion of the handle portion 32, and obliquely upward from a lower end of the handle portion 32 via a thin horizontal plate 38. A thin flexible plate 39 that extends and has an upper end as an upright portion is continuously provided.

Next, usage modes and operational effects of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the attachment of the spoon Ba to the lid Aa2 can be performed by fitting the through hole 36 of the handle portion 32 to the support convex portion 30 with the scooping surface 31a facing up.
When removing the lid body Aa, the lid body Aa is opened and reversed, and the handle portion 32 or the inclined plate 37 is grasped on both sides and lifted from the lid body Aa2.

In use, when the spoon Ba is placed on the contents after taking out the contents, as shown in FIG. 8, the bottom wall 34 of the scooping portion 31 and the horizontal plate 38 hold the contents on the upper surface of the contents. .
When the content is reduced, the left peripheral wall 33 of the scooping portion 31 is held between the flexible plate 39 and the flexible plate 39. When the spoon Ba is taken out, the flexible plate 39 is connected to the horizontal plate 38. Since it bends with the connecting part as a fulcrum, it can be easily taken out.

When the content further decreases, as shown in FIG. 9, the flexible plate 39 abuts against the waist wall, the scooping portion 31 is lowered, and the bottom wall 34 is held on the upper surface of the content.
When the spoon Ba is taken out, if the handle 32 is grasped and lifted, it can be taken out easily, and the contents do not adhere to the fingers, and the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the thin plate-like flexible plate 39 is used, but a bent plate having a certain thickness may be used.

Next, Example 3 in which the shape of the spoon is changed will be described.
In the above embodiment, a through hole is provided in the center of the handle portion of the spoon and is attached to the lid. However, since a horizontal plate and a flexible plate are provided at the tip of the handle portion, the flexible plate is deformed by deformation. May come into contact with the upper end of the fitting opening and the lid body may not be closed, and the third embodiment prevents this.

A protruding plate 42 protrudes from the center of the tip of the handle 41, and a through hole 43 is drilled at the base.
Connected to the inclined portion 44, the horizontal portion 45, and the horizontal portion 45, which have substantially the same thickness and width as the thickness of the handle portion 41, on the outside of the protruding plates 42 at both ends of the tip, extend upward, and lock the tip A vent portion 47 formed of a bent portion 46 as a protrusion is provided continuously.

  In the top wall recess 48 of the lid body Ab2, a support convex portion 49 that is inserted into the through hole 43 is suspended.

In the present embodiment, the through-hole 43 is drilled in the root portion of the protruding plate 42 and is inserted into the support convex portion 49, so that the vent portion 47 is accurately positioned and is not caught by the mouth portion of the container body Ab1. The body Ab2 can be closed.
In addition, since the bent portion 46 is flexible with respect to the handle portion 41, it is possible to obtain substantially the same operational effects as the above-described embodiments with respect to storing and taking out the spoon.

In each of the above embodiments, the scooping portion of the spoon has been described as having a pyramid-shaped side peripheral wall. However, the scooping portion may have a conical shape, a trapezoidal shape, an ellipsoidal shape, etc. The shape of the scooping portion is not limited to the embodiment, as long as the length is constant and the handle portion is above the bottom wall of the scooping portion and away from the contents.
Moreover, it is good also as a measuring spoon which can carry out the fixed measurement of the contents.

  In each of the above embodiments, the diameter of the body peripheral wall of the container main body is reduced downward, and the tip of the handle of the spoon comes into contact with each other to facilitate the removal of the handle, but the handle only needs to be separated from the contents. The waist wall may extend straight.

In the present invention, since a holding plate having a height corresponding to the bottom wall of the scooping portion is provided at the tip of the scooping portion of the spoon composed of the scooping portion and the scooping portion, even if the spoon is stored in the container, the handle portion is granular. Since it is located away from the contents, the contents do not adhere to the handle.
For this reason, it can be widely used as a spoon for dishwasher detergents and powdered foods.
