Then, the container 7 is placed on the main body 1, and the cylindrical portion 8 through which the shaft 3 penetrates is formed in the center of the container 7.
The switch support portion 4 is located on the side of the container 7. Further, the cylindrical portion 8 is formed so that the switch support portion 4 is located on the side of the container 7. A cutter mount 9 is detachably connected to the shaft 3 located through the cylindrical portion 8, and a cutter 10 is mounted on the upper surface of the cutter mount 9. A container lid 15 composed of a cylindrical tubular portion 11 having a pushing plate 12 and a lid top surface portion 14 is placed on the upper opening of the container 7, and the pushing plate 12 has an inner diameter of the tubular portion 11. A column 13 is formed in the central portion having substantially the same diameter as that of the above, and the upper end of the column 13 is penetrated through the lid top surface portion 14, and the handle portion 13a is fixed to a part of the penetrated column 13.

Further, a part of the side of the lid top surface portion 14 is projected outward to form a cover portion 16, and the cover portion 16 covers the upper portion of the switch support portion 4 to form a container lid 15 and a lid portion. The opening surface 16a and the wall surface 1 so as to position the top surface portion 14
6b and the opening surface 16a is provided with the cutter 10.
Are arranged in the direction of rotation. A protrusion 17 is formed in the cover portion 16 so as to face the operation portion 6, and the switch 5 is turned on by pressing the cover portion 16. The cylindrical portion 11 and the lid top surface portion 14 forming the container lid 15 are supported by a shaft 18 on the outer peripheral portion on the opposite side of the cover portion 16 and are rotatably held in the horizontal direction opposite to the rotational direction of the cutter 10. . Further, a locking portion 11 a is formed on the cylindrical portion 11 so that the lid top surface portion 14 does not rotate horizontally in the rotation direction of the cutter 10.

Next, the operation and operation will be described.

The container 7 is placed on the main body 1, the cutter 10 is set on the shaft 3, and then the lid top surface portion 14 is moved to the cylindrical portion 1 as shown in FIG.
