Abstract
A container (10, 10A) for a long object (50) has an opening (18) which is formed in the container wall (12) at a position adjacent to an open end edge (14) of the container and which allows the long object to be extracted therethrough. A first notch (22) is formed in the open end edge spaced from the opening (18) so as to extend in the direction of length of the container. The first notch is capable of receiving a portion of the long object extracted through the opening. A second notch (3) spaced apart from the first notch is formed in the open end edge of the container so as to extend in the direction of the length of the container. The second notch (30) is provided with a cutter (40) in the bottom thereof. The arrangement is such that the portion of the long object which has been extracted past the first notch is forced into the second notch so as to be cut by the cutter.
