Abstract

A carrier for holding a plurality of accumulating containers that accommodate small items. A plurality of fitting holes are formed in the flat-shaped carrier so that the shapes of the holes are substantially identical with the sectional shape of the accumulating containers in the periphery of their upper end portions, and respective accumulating containers are fitted to the fitting holes of the carrier such that at least a part of the main body of each one of the accumulating containers is exposed outside of the carrier. The carrier may alternatively be arranged by overlapping aperture sections of two flat-shaped box bodies with each other. The accumulating containers may be made so as to be transparent such that contents thereof are visible when the accumulating containers are held in the carrier, and the accumulating containers may also be made to be somewhat flexible such that they are hardly detachable from the fitting holes to which they have been fitted.
