Prior to the filing of the present application, the configuration of a hinge portion for hinge-connecting the bottom wall 1 and the long side wall 2 and the bottom wall 1 and the short side wall 3 has already been known (for example, JP-A-6-1342, JP-A-8-108).
See No. 318939. ), And a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The short side wall 3 has an outer surface (a surface located outside the foldable container when the foldable container is assembled is referred to as an outer surface) 3a which is formed flat and an inner surface (when the foldable container is assembled). When assembled, the surface located inside the folding container,
Called the inner surface. ) 3b has an outer flat portion 3e formed with a horizontal rib 3c and a vertical rib 3d perpendicular to the inner surface 3b, and has left and right ends on the outer flat portion 3e.
A vertically long groove 3f having an open outer side is provided, and an engagement portion 3g that engages with the engagement portion 2a of the long side wall 2 is formed in the vertically long groove 3f. An upper horizontal frame 3h and a lower horizontal frame 3i extending toward the inside of the assembled folding container are provided on both upper and lower ends of the outer flat portion 3e.
Are formed. On the lower surface of the lower horizontal frame 3i, a hinge male part 3j that constitutes one of the hinge parts, comprising a pair of vertical pieces 3j 'and a horizontal pin 3j "disposed between the pair of vertical pieces 3j'. The horizontal pin 3j "of the male male part 3j is hooked on a female hinge part formed of an inverted J-shaped hook formed on the short side part 1a of the bottom part 1. Thereby, the short side wall 3
It is configured to be hingedly connected to the bottom 1.

A horizontally long handle window 4 is formed in the upper center of the outer flat portion 3e, and an inner surface 3b is formed on the inner surface 3b so as to surround the periphery of the horizontally long handle window 4. Window ribs 5 perpendicular to the window. The window peripheral rib 5 can also be used as the horizontal rib 3c and the vertical rib 3d described above. In the present embodiment, the window peripheral rib portion 5 includes an upper horizontal rib 5a and a lower horizontal rib 5b positioned vertically, and vertical ribs 5c, 5c positioned horizontally.
