The container according to claim 1, wherein the support surfaces of the pair are tapered in the second direction so that each of the support surfaces of the pair simultaneously contacts an outer peripheral corner of the body to bear a weight of the electric device and to prevent the electric device from moving in the first direction. 11. The container according to claim 1, wherein the projections of the pair have respective reverse surfaces being opposite to each other in the first direction and extending in the second direction as reverse surfaces relative to the support surfaces of the pair, and the projections of the pair are formed in such a manner that at least one of the reverse surfaces is prevented from contacting the leads when the support surfaces simultaneously contacts the electric device to prevent the electric device from moving in the first direction. 12. A container for receiving therein an electric device, comprising: a recess for receiving therein the electric device, including a top opening area for insertion of the electric device therethrough into the recess, and a bottom area; and a pair of projections for restraining a movement of the electric device in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction directed from the top opening area toward the bottom area, wherein the projections of the pair have respective support surfaces facing to each other in the first direction, and a distance between the support surfaces of the pair in the first direction decreases in the second direction in such a manner that each of the support surfaces simultaneously contacts the electric device to prevent the electric device from moving in the first direction, and wherein an angle between the second direction and one of the support surfaces decreases in a fourth direction from the bottom area toward the top opening area. 13. A container having retained therein an electric device employing an electric element with a body and at least two electrical leads projecting from the body, wherein the body has a bottom surface, a pair of side surfaces opposite to each other, and a pair of corners each of which is formed between the bottom surface and respective one of the side surfaces said container comprising: a recess for receiving therein the electric device, including a top opening area for insertion of the electric device therethrough into the recess, and a bottom area; and a pair of projections for restraining a movement of the electric device in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction directed from the top opening area toward the bottom area, wherein the projections of the pair have respective support surfaces facing to each other in the first direction so that the support surfaces face to the side surfaces respectively in the first direction, a distance between the support surfaces of the pair in the first direction decreases in the second direction in such a manner that each of the support surfaces simultaneously contacts respective one of the side surfaces of the electric device to prevent the electric device from moving in the first direction, and an angle between the support surfaces facing respectively to the side surfaces is larger than an angle between the side surfaces so that the body contacts the support surfaces through the corners. 14. The container according to claim 13, wherein the support surfaces of
