Description: Field of the invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a container as defined by the features of the preamble portion of claim 1 for display and storage of articles such as for example instantaneous adhesive (a so-called blister pack). Background of the Invention In marketing the chemical products such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, especially instantaneous adhesives, the articles are contained in the transparent resin cover on a base sheet of cardboard, aluminum container, or laminate film, etc. and displayed, exhibited, etc. as so-called blister pack for sale. The base sheets are provided with instructions on use of the product (hereinafter to be referred to as article) and special remarks, etc. And, in taking out the article from the blister pack, the blister pack is broken, and it is usual to throw the used pack into the trash box. As a result, there arises a container that no instruction is on hand in using the article later, etc. As a method for solving the above problem, there is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H1-179871, a display container as shown in Fig. 13 which is a slide pack comprising a transparent resin cover 101 having on both reverse sides grooves 103 so as to accommodate both sides of a base sheet 104 therein. Such a container may again contain the article after use, and the problem as given above is dissolved. According to the recent system of selling articles at counter, due to the necessity to make display, exhibition, etc. of many articles in a predetermined space, the size of the base sheet is limited. Consequently, the space for listing the instruction such as special remarks is also a problem. Such a problem cannot be solved by the prior art such as described above. US-A-2 993 590 discloses a container for display and storage of an article which has the features of the preamble portion of claim 1. This container comprises a double-spread sheet with a body base sheet and a lid base sheet connected by a folding line and folded onto each other. The container has no opening mechanism which allows opening of one of these base sheets such that the double spread sheet can be unfolded but rather discloses that a certain part of the lid base sheet can be ripped out to gain access to a packaged article. A further container is disclosed in US-A-3 467 248 and comprises a double spread sheet folded such that a body base sheet and a lid base sheet are folded onto each other. The two base sheets are permanently attached to each other without providing an opening mechanism for allowing unfolding thereof. The opening of this container is achieved in that a transparent cover receiving the packaged article is slid from receiving portions formed in the double spread sheet. The present invention is designed to provide a slim container for display and storage in which the prior art problems have been dissolved at a stroke by extremely simple and rational method, that is industrially advantageous. Summary of the Invention The present invention covers a container for display and storage comprising the features of Claim 1, specifically a body rectangular base sheet and a lid rectangular base sheet connected in double spread sheet (or folded) condition by a folding line along the longitudinal direction, with the rectangular base sheet on the body side being provided with a transparent cover in which an article can be contained, with provision of an opening in the reverse face through which the article can be freely taken out and put in. The first aspect of the present invention is in a container for display and storage in which the body rectangular base sheet and the lid rectangular base sheet are connected in a condition of double spread sheet and the other end is adhered to be connected in a style of Chinese or adhesive binding. On the body rectangular base sheet is provided with an open port through which articles can be freely taken out and put in, a temporary stopping mechanism for stopping the body rectangular base sheet and the lid rectangular base sheet, and a transparent cover for accommodating the article. The lid rectangular base sheet is provided at its end part with an opening mechanism. A further aspect of the present invention is in a container for display and storage in which, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet made by attaching a transparent cover that can contain articles, along the said center line, a folding line is provided, and on the other hand, on the body rectangular base sheet, a nick line is engraved so as to allow the articles to be freely taken out and put in from the reverse side, and a lid rectangular base sheet is provided to act as a lid for the port to take out the article by the folding of the body rectangular base sheet. The characteristic feature of the present invention is in the point that the body rectangular base sheet and the lid rectangular base sheet are connected in a condition of double spread sheet (or folded) by a folding line along the longitudinal direction, and on the body rectangular base sheet is provided with a transparent cover in which the article can be stored, and an open port through the reverse side of which articles can be freely taken out and put in. Thus, by temporarily stopping the lid rectangular base sheet connected in a condition of double spread sheet (or folded), a container for storing the article is made.

Best Mode for Practicing the Invention Hereinafter, the present invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawings. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 12, the container for display and storage is characterized in that the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are connected in a condition of the folded line, e.g., double spread sheet by the thin wall groove along the longitudinal direction, and the other end is adhered to be connected in a style of Chinese binding. The body rectangular base sheet 1 is provided with an open port 10 through which an article A can be freely taken out and put in, a temporary stopping mechanism 9 for stopping the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2, and a transparent cover 4 for accommodating the article A. The lid rectangular base sheet 2 is provided at its end part with a cut opening mechanism 7. The numerals and marks in the drawing are as follows: 1 Body rectangular base sheet 2 Lid rectangular base sheet 3 Thin wall groove (half cut) 4 Transparent cover 6 Hole for hanging 7 Cut opening mechanism (example of line form nick) 8 (Horizontal line shaded part) Part to be bonded 9 Projection for temporary stopping 10 Open port (allowing to take out and contain article freely) 11 Cut open part 12 Nick for temporary stopping 13 Recess for cutting A Article K Adhesive part between transparent cover and body rectangular base sheet Fig. 1 is.the surface view of the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 of the container for display and storage showing the condition in double spread sheet, and Fig. 2 is a reverse side view thereof. Fig. 3 is a surface view of Fig. 1 provided with a transparent cover 4 combined by adhesion. The portion of adhesive combination of the transparent cover 4 is shown by K. Fig. 4 is an illustrative view showing the condition where an article A is contained in the transparent cover 4 of Fig. 2 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 which is a spread sheet style is closed. The body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are adhered to be connected in a style of Chinese binding style with the adhesive part 8 of the lid rectangular base sheet 2. The container for display and storage of the present invention which is a completed product as exemplified in Fig. 5 is a slim rectangle having a dimension of 17.5 cm in length × 6.3 cm in width. At the counter of the store, the container is displayed by hanging in a hole 6 for suspension. The characteristic feature of the present invention is that the container for display and storage is characterized in that the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are connected in a condition of the folded line, e.g., double spread sheet. Normally, it is preferable for the container to be made of the integrated material. Namely, by folding an integrated base sheet into half, the double spread condition is made up. With respect to such folding method, there can be considered, besides the simple mechanical folding, for example, provision of a pressed line (recessed groove) on the base sheet, a method of providing a sewing machine line, or a method of engraving a thin wall groove (so-called half cut) which will be described later. Especially preferable embodiment of the present invention is that the latter body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are connected in a condition of the folded line through the thin wall groove 3 as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, in the plane shape being disposed approximately symmetrically with each other. The material quality of the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 of the present invention can be cardboard, coated paper, synthetic paper, and various other laminate sheets, etc. In the practical aspect, the material is not particularly limited, insofar as the instruction such as method of use or remarks on use can be printed or inscribed on the surface. The body rectangular base sheet 1 is provided by cutting with an open part 10 through which the article can be freely taken out or put in. This open part 10 suffices with the condition through which the article can be freely taken out or put in. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 12 as 10', the open part 10 of the body rectangular base sheet 1 may be partially cut, and depending on the case, such partial cutting may be advantageous in the aspect of allowing to contain the article in stabilized state. The body rectangular base sheet 1 of the present invention is provided with a transparent cover 4 for accommodating the article. The method for fixing the transparent cover 4 to the body rectangular base sheet 1 is not particularly limited; ordinarily the cover is adhered to the body rectangular base sheet by heat press tightening, pressing, etc., by means of the heat sensitive adhesive, ordinary adhesive, paste, etc. applied thereto in advance. As the method for fixing this transparent cover 4, there may be considered a method of fixing by adhering to the surface of the body rectangular base sheet 1 as shown in Fig. 7, and a method of adhering to fix to the reverse side of the body rectangular base sheet 1 in a manner to project from the reverse side thereof, as shown in Fig. 8. The method for producing the container for display and storage as shown in Fig. 7 is practiced, for example, in the following manner. At first, the transparent cover 4 which is formed into a shape that can accommodate the article A is placed facing downward, an article A is placed thereon, and then, the body rectangular base sheet 1 to which the other end of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 is adhered in advance in Chinese style of binding is placed thereon with its open part 10 directed downward, and then they are thermally press-tightened to adhere to fix the transparent cover 4 which can contain the article A to the surface of the body rectangular base sheet 1. Here, the adhesion and combination of the body rectangular base sheet 1 to the other end of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 in Chinese style with a band style adhesive part 8, and the adhesion and combination of the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A to the body rectangular base sheet 1 may be carried out separately as described above, or may be practiced simultaneously as follows: namely, at first, the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A is placed facing downward, the article A is accommodated thereon, then the body rectangular base sheet 1 having an open part 10 is placed facing downward, the spread sheet of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 is closed, then heat-press tightened to have the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the other end of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are combined by adhesion in Chinese style by means of the band-like adhesive part 8, and at the same time the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A is adhered to combine with the body rectangular base sheet 1. Another method of adhesive fixing is first to place the body rectangular base sheet 1 having an open part 10 reverse side up, insert the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A into the open part 10 to place the article, accommodate the article A thereon, close the spread sheet of the lid rectangular base sheet 2, then for example heat-press tighten to combine the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the other end of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 by adhesion in Chinese style, and adhere the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A to the reverse side of the body rectangular base sheet 1 to combine. Here, the adhesion and combination of the body rectangular base sheet 1 to the other end of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 in Chinese style with a band style adhesive part 8, and the adhesion and combination of the transparent cover 4 which can accommodate the article A to the body rectangular base sheet 1 may be carried out either approximately simultaneously or separately. As described above, the system for adhering to combine the transparent cover 4 to the body rectangular sheet 1 is preferably made by heat press tightening. Ordinarily, a heat sensitive and/or a pressure sensitive adhesive applied in advance to the surface or reverse side of the body rectangular sheet 1 for the top coating purpose as well may be used. The adhered and combined part of the transparent cover 4 is shown by K in Fig. 3 and Fig. 7. With respect to the material quality of the transparent cover 4 to be used in the present invention, there are preferably used the transparent resins, e.g., hard vinyl chloride resin, polyester resin, polypropylene resin, and the like. The transparent cover 4 is ordinarily prepared in advance by vacuum molding. In the container for display and storage of the present invention, the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2, being disposed in the plane shape approximately symmetrically with each other, are connected in a condition of the folded line through the thin wall groove 3. Accordingly, normally, folding can be easily attained by a method of engraving a thin wall groove 3 (so-called half cut) at the center of the integral object of the rectangular base sheet. Thus, in the present invention, it is important for attaining the object that the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are connected in a condition of the double spread sheet. In the present invention, the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 are preferably connected in a condition of the double spread sheet through the thin wall groove, and the other end is combined by adhesion in Chinese style binding. It is essential for attaining the object of the present invention to realize this Chinese style binding as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 to combine by adhesion the end parts in band form, as shown in the adhesion part 8. In this Chinese style binding, ordinarily, as shown in Fig. 2, a side of the end part (adhesion part 8) is adhered, but in case of a large base sheet, for example, it can be considered that the closed end may be partly open on the other hand, so that the two spots or three spots may be adhered. An object of the present invention is to allocate a large space for instruction on use of the article and the remarks on use thereof. Accordingly, it is desirable for the adhesion and combination margin to be as small as possible. Also, it is obvious for the adhesion and combination margin of Chinese style binding to be provided at the end part further than the center, so as to make the description on effect and instruction to be described later easy to read. Concretely, a preferred embodiment is to apply in advance a heat sensitive and/or pressure sensitive adhesive to the surface or reverse side of the body rectangular base sheet 1 or lid rectangular base sheet 2 and adhere by applying pressure and tightening under heat, in the same manner as in the transparent cover 4 above. It is necessary to make contrivance for pressure and tightening under heat so that the adhesion and combination part can be made in as small area as possible in band form, and the adhesion can be made at a part as near to the end part as possible, according to the above procedure. The adhesion and combination in Chinese style binding is to combine the body rectangular base sheet 1 and the lid rectangular base sheet 2 in Chinese style binding to complete storage of the article A. Accordingly, as the combination system there can be considered, besides the adhesion by the above adhesive, pasting, adhesion by viscous agent, and as others, line-form sewing, sewing by metal thread, etc., of which the pasting, adhesion by adhesive, and especially the case of adhesion by heat, pressure, and tightening are the industrially preferred embodiments. Now, the article is distributed in the condition of being accommodated in the container and placed at the counter. A person who buys and uses it opens it and uses. The container for display and storage of the present invention is provided with a peculiar opening mechanism. This opening mechanism is also provided with contrivance so as to have the object of the present invention attained favorably. Namely, the opening part is preferably provided at the end of he lid rectangular base sheet and in as small a space as possible, for necessity to make the instruction on use or remarks on use of the article easy to see. For the above purpose, there is shown in Fig. 1 an example of cutting out mechanism 7 by a line shape cutting. Besides, there is considered the cutting out mechanism 7 of two row cutting system (Zipper system) as shown in Fig. 12, or sewing seam system, tape cut system, thread cutting system, and the like. Of these, Zipper system is convenient because the container is opened in neat linear style without bending in facilitating the storage after opening. According to this Zipper system, an opening mark is provided on the portion shown in the cut-opening part 11 in Fig. 12, or a projection is provided and a recess for cut-opening is provided on the other body rectangular base sheet side as shown in the number 13, by which the opening is facilitated to give convenience. The opening mechanism of the present invention is not specifically limited, provided that it is securely fixed in the course of distribution or in the stage of the article being placed at the counter, the storage of article can be sufficiently attained, and the opening can be made with the predetermined force at the time of use. And, by opening the lid rectangular base sheet in the double spread sheet condition, for example, the double spread sheet condition as shown in Fig. 9 is developed to make it possible to take out the article A contained in the body rectangular base sheet 1. Consequently, the description part listing the instruction on use of the article or special remarks on use is increased to about double space compared to the conventional sheet, and accordingly, it becomes possible to give slim and many instruction contents, and to provide a container for display and storage conforming to the effectuation of PL Law. Next, the article after use is again put in the container part provided in the body rectangular base sheet, the double spread sheet is closed, and temporarily locked or stopped as shown in Fig. 10 to recover the container. This temporary stopping is made by raising the temporary stopping projection 9 formed by cutting into the body rectangular base sheet 1 and inserting the end part of the lid rectangular base sheet 2 therein. As the temporary stopping mechanism, there can be a cutting 12 at the end part as shown in Fig. 11. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in Fig. 14 to Fig. 20, the container is characterized in that, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet 21 made by attaching a transparent cover 24 that can contain an article A, along said center line, a thin wall groove 23 which can be folded outside along the center line is engraved, and on the other hand, on the body rectangular base sheet 21, a nick line 27 is provided to allow the article A to be freely taken out and put in from the reverse side, and a lid rectangular base sheet 21-c is formed to act as a lid for the port to take out the article A by the folding of the body rectangular base sheet 21. The numerals and marks in the drawing are as follows: 21 Body rectangular base sheet 21-a Cut out part of body rectangular base sheet 21-b Body rectangular base sheet 21-c Lid rectangular base sheet 23, 23' Thin wall groove (half cut) 24 Transparent cover that can contain article 25 Cut in line along the short side direction 26 Hole for suspension 27 Cut in line allowing to take out and contain article freely 29 Temporary stopping mechanism P Cut opening part A Article A preferred embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in Fig. 14 to Fig. 20, the mechanism which allows to fold the folding line outside is operated by engraving a thin wall groove 23. That is to say, in the body rectangular base sheet formed by labeling a transparent cover 24 which can contain an article A, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet 21, along said center line, a thin wall groove 23 which can be folded outside along the center line is engraved, and on the other hand, on the body rectangular base sheet 21, a nick line 27 is provided to allow the article to be freely taken out and put in from the reverse side. Further, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises, in the above, at the upper end and/or the lower end part of the body rectangular base sheet 21, along the short length direction thereof, a separable cut-in line 25 is engraved. Moreover, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises forming, at the end part in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet 21, a temporary stopping mechanism 29 which can stop the body rectangular base sheet 21 at the time of it being folded. Accordingly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a container for display and storage characterized in that, in the body rectangular base sheet formed by labeling a transparent cover which can contain an article, the body rectangular base sheet is provided by engraving with a cut-in line along the short-side direction of the end part thereof, and in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet, along said center line, a thin wall groove which can be folded outside along the center line is engraved, and on the other hand, on the body rectangular base sheet, a nick line is provided to allow the article to be freely taken out and put in from the reverse side, and further, at one end part of the body rectangular base sheet, there is provided a temporary stopping mechanism which can stop the body rectangular base sheet at the time of it being folded. The present invention is characterized by providing a container for display and storage which has succeeded in dissolving at a stroke the problematic points of the prior art by extremely simple industrial procedure by simply providing the conventionally used so-called blister pack with a folding line. Here, as the folding line there may be considered, for example, engraving a thin wall groove, provision of a pressed line (recessed groove), or provision of sewing seam, or the like. The characteristic point of the present invention is that, by adoption of the folding system of the body rectangular base sheet, an extremely compact container is provided, and when the article is taken out, the container becomes a state of double spread sheet, so that the description of instruction on use or remarks on the article is easy to read, and as the related part almost wholly remains, the container is extremely convenient and excellent to use. Hereinafter, the present invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 14 is a surface view showing the article display condition in selling the article in the container for display and storage of the present invention, and Fig. 15 is a reverse side view thereof. Here, the article A, e.g., in the drawing, a container for an instantaneous adhesive (product) is contained in the transparent cover 24 labeled on the body rectangular base sheet 21, and on both surface and reverse sides thereof there are described the instruction, remarks, etc. on the use of the article, and the article is placed in article display condition as a so-called instantaneous adhesive contained in a blister. As shown in Fig. 14, in the body rectangular base sheet 21, for example, at the upper end part thereof, along its short length direction, a separable cut-in line 25 is engraved, and also, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction thereof, along said center line, a thin wall groove (so-called half cut) 23 which can be folded outside along the center line is provided by engraving. For taking out the article A from the blister, the cut-opening part P provided on the base sheet is pulled up to open, and the base sheet can be cut open along the cut lines 27, 27' to the point near the central point S of Fig. 15 (reverse side view), thus allowing to take out the article A with ease. Under this condition, the open port is pulled up or torn by cutting, so that the article A cannot be stored in the container again. Accordingly, in the first place, for example, along the separable cut-in line 25, the cutting part 21-a of the upper part of the base sheet is cut off, and then, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet 21, by the thin wall groove 23, normally by a so-called half cut, the part becomes possible to be folded outside. Namely, by folding the body rectangular base sheet 21-b to the surface and the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c to the back side (reverse side), the part of the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c plays the role of the lid to make a container as shown in Fig. 16. In Fig. 16, the cut-opening part P may be, depending on case, removed by cut-opening at the time of taking out the article A, but in the drawing there is shown the condition that the part is once cut open and closed again to bring it back to the former position. Now, because the storage condition is insufficient if the part of the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c is only folded, the end part of the other body rectangular base sheet 21-b is laid on the end part of one lid rectangular base sheet 21-c of the body rectangular base sheet 21 to form a lid, and by making a temporary stopping with the temporary stopping projection 29, storage of the article A is completed. Fig. 17 shows the right side view of Fig. 16. In Fig. 17, there is shown a condition where the transparent cover 24 is adhered to combine on the body rectangular base sheet 21 shown in Fig. 14. Fig. 18 is a surface view showing another example of the container for display and storage of the present invention, and Fig. 19 is a reverse side view thereof. In Fig. 19, there is shown that, for taking out the article A from the blister pack, the cut-opening part P cut in on the base sheet is pushed to cut open the base sheet to the part of the center S point of Fig. 19 (reverse side view) along the cut-in lines 27, 27', by which the article A can be taken out with ease. Also, as shown in Fig. 19, the cut-in line for allowing to take out and contain the articles freely can be provided by Zipper system. Further, as shown in Fig. 19, with respect to the temporary stopping mechanism 29, in addition to the cutting in on the semi-circle, the end part may be further cut in to facilitate the insertion for temporary stopping. Fig. 20 shows a modification of Fig. 18 wherein, firstly, for example by the separable cut-in line 25 as described above, the cutting part 21-a on the upper part of the base sheet is cut off, and then, in the vicinity of the center line of the body rectangular base sheet 21 in the longitudinal direction, by the thin wall groove (so-called half cut) 23, the sheet can be folded outside. That is to say, by folding the body rectangular base sheet 21-b in front, and the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c at the back (reverse side), the part of the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c plays the role of the lid to become the container as shown in Fig. 20. On both the surface and the reverse side of the body rectangular base sheet 21 ordinarily there are described the method for use of the article, remarks on use, and the like. The container for display and storage of the present invention can be a handy storage case again after use, without discarding these instructions, and thus has the advantages of being extremely rational and compact. Next, the details of the container for display and storage of the present invention will be further described. The container for display and storage of the present invention exemplified in Fig. 14 or Fig. 18 is the body rectangular bas sheet 21 having the size of 19.5 cm in length × 8.3 cm in width, and in the size of this extent the container is practically distributed, and is displayed as being hung in the suspending hole 26 at the counter. The container for display and storage of the present invention is completed by providing a cut-in line 25 with which the cutting part 21-a on the upper part of the body rectangular base sheet 21 can be separated and engraving a thin wall groove 23 that can be folded outside along approximately the center line, in the vicinity of the center line in the longitudinal direction of the body rectangular base sheet 21. Namely, by these steps, the cut-off part 21-a at the upper end of the body rectangular base sheet 21 is cut off, and then the body rectangular base sheet 21 is folded outside to show a double spread condition, wherein the lid rectangular base sheet 21-b becomes the lid to provide the container for display and storage of the present invention. Separation of the upper end part of the body rectangular base sheet may be at the lower end part, depending on the case. The material quality of the body rectangular base sheet 21 of the present invention can be a thick paper, coated paper, synthetic paper, and other various laminates, and the like. There is no particular practical limitation to the material, if the description of use method, instruction or remarks on use can be printed and marked. The body rectangular base sheet 21 of the present invention is provided with a transparent cover 24 for accommodating the articles. The method for fixing this transparent cover 24 to the body rectangular base sheet 21 is not particularly limited, but ordinarily adhesion is made with a heat sensitive adhesive, ordinary adhesive, starch, etc. previously applied to the body rectangular base sheet 21 by heat press-tightening, pressing, etc. With respect to the fixing method of the transparent cover 24, as shown in Fig. 17 (side view), a method of fixing by adhering to the surface of the body rectangular base sheet 21 is the general method. The method for producing the container for display and storage of the present invention can be, for example, as follows: In the first place, a shaped transparent cover 24 which can contain the article A is placed facing downward, on which the article A is accommodated, then the body rectangular base sheet 21 coated in advance with the heat sensitive adhesive is placed facing downward thereon, followed by heat press tightening to adhere the transparent cover 24 that can contain the article A to the surface of the body rectangular base sheet 21 and combine therewith. With respect to the material quality of the transparent cover 24 to be used for the present invention, there are preferably used the transparent resin, e.g., hard vinyl chloride resin, polyester resin, polypropylene resin, etc. This transparent cover 24 is ordinarily made in advance by vacuum molding. That is to say, an object of the present invention is to convert the container for display carrying description of how to use and remarks on use of the article (so-called blister) to a compact container for storage by a simple method, thereby providing an extremely rational container for display and storage with which the description of how to use and remarks on use, etc. can be directly utilized. In the present invention, the cut-in line along which the article can be freely taken in and out is not specifically limited. Whereas in Fig. 14 and Fig. 19 the line form cut-in or the cut out part P by Zipper system is exemplified, as other conceivable methods there may be two row cutting system (Zipper system), or sewing machine seam system, tape cut system, thread cutting system, etc. After use of the article, the article is contained again in the original blister pack and stopped temporarily, and a container is utilized. This temporary stopping mechanism is not specifically limitative, but it is preferable to be practiced by one or more than two temporary stopping projection cut into the end part of the body rectangular base sheet. In Fig. 16 or Fig. 20, a cut-in projection 29 cut into the body rectangular base sheet 21-b of the body rectangular base sheet 21 or the cut-in projection 29 cut into the lid rectangular base sheet 21-c is raised, to which the other lid rectangular base sheet 21-c or the end of the boy rectangular base sheet 21-b is inserted to complete the so-called temporary stopping. Possibility of industrial utilization The container for display and storage according to the present invention is extremely convenient for storage and keeping of the articles such as the container for instantaneous adhesive. Since the instantaneous adhesive or the like is repeatedly used, there is required a container for storage when it is used once, stored, and after a while it is used again.
