In a storage box composed of a cylindrical peripheral wall, at least one side wall of the peripheral wall is separated from an upper side wall portion and a lower side wall portion which are vertically divided by slits extending to both left and right ends substantially parallel to the bottom wall. The lower side wall portion extends from the bottom wall with a fold interposed therebetween, and is configured to be rotatable using the fold as a hinge portion. The lower side wall portion is turned around the left and right ends of the lower side wall portion. The cover portions, which are capable of covering between the lower side wall portion and the portions of the peripheral wall located on the left and right sides of the lower side wall portion when moved, are respectively provided to extend.

Further, it is desirable that a breakable connecting means for connecting the upper side wall and the lower side wall is formed at the slit forming portion, and that the connecting means be broken when used.

Further, it is preferable that a stopper is formed near the upper end of the cover to engage with the upper side wall and define a stop position when the lower side wall rotates.

[0009]

The storage box of the present invention is surrounded by the upper end of the upper side wall, the upper end of the lower side wall, and the upper end of the cover if the lower side wall is turned toward the front during use. The take-out opening is open and the contents can be taken out, and if the lower side wall is returned, the take-out opening is closed. In addition, since the ceiling wall and the bottom wall are formed in parallel and can be stacked up and down, and the outlet is formed on the peripheral wall of the storage box, the contents can be taken out even in the stacked state. Easy. Further, since the outlet is not formed above the storage box, it is easy to take out the contents even if the outlet is placed at a relatively high place. Furthermore, since the sheet material is bent, the storage box can be easily manufactured.

[0010] In addition, a breakable connecting means for connecting the upper side wall and the lower side wall is formed at the slit forming portion,
If the structure is such that the connecting means is broken at the time of use, the storage section should be stored neatly without any careless opening of the opening and popping out of the contents during transportation before use, etc. Is possible.

Furthermore, if a stopper is formed near the upper end of the cover to engage with the upper side wall and define a stop position when the lower side wall rotates, the use of the stopper during use can be improved. Since the stopper portion can be engaged with the upper side wall portion to maintain the open state of the outlet portion, it is easy to take out the contents.
