  Then, while placing the thumb on the support rib 79 and placing the remaining fingers on the operation recess 84 to displace the part main body 82 closer to the support rib 79 side, the door member 9 itself is displaced upward. The part main body 82 can be relatively displaced upward and the lock bar 83 can be retracted from the side portion of the door member 9. In addition, since the operation side finger hook portion 88 and the main body side finger hook portion 91 are provided, it is easy to perform the release operation as described above, and a finger is placed on the operation side finger hook portion 88 and the main body side finger hook portion 91. By hanging, the door member 9 can be moved (carried) with one hand without touching the outer peripheral edge of the door member 9. Further, with the hand holding the door member 9, the distance between the operation recess 84 (operation side finger hook portion 88) and the support rib 79 (main body side finger hook portion 91) is reduced, and the lock bar 83 is moved to the door member. It can be made to protrude from the side part of 9 (it can be displaced to an engagement position and a releasing position).

  In addition, a locking hole 92 penetrating in the thickness direction is formed at the upper center of the base portion 71 of the door member 9. The locking hole 92 is formed adjacent to the lower side of the reinforcing rib 72 formed along the upper side of the door member 9. In addition, a hooking portion 93 that protrudes downward from the outer edge of the reinforcing rib 72 so as to protrude from the outer edge to the inner peripheral side of the locking hole 92 is provided at a portion corresponding to the locking hole 92. The door member 9 can also be carried by hooking a finger on the hook portion 93.

  Now, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 19, FIG. 20, in the closed wall portion 4b, the door member 9 removed from the opening wall portion 4a can be mounted. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, an accommodation recess 66 capable of accommodating the door member 9 is formed on the outer surface side of the closing wall 4b. Further, the housing recess 66 is surrounded by the reinforcing rib 54, and the door member 9 mounted on the closing wall portion 4b is disposed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the outer peripheral edge of the closing wall portion 4b. In the present embodiment, the closing wall portion 4b constitutes a mounting wall portion.

  Furthermore, a flange portion 68 is provided at the upper center of the outer surface side of the wall main body 51 of the closed wall portion 4b. Further, the closing wall 4b is closed at a position corresponding to the front end of the lock bar 83 of the lock member 81 of the door member 9 accommodated in the accommodation recess 66 at a portion defining the side edge of the accommodation recess 66. A lock hole 69 is formed as a mounting-side engaged portion that penetrates the wall 4b in the lateral width direction.

  Then, the lock member 81 of the door member 9 is operated so that the lock bar 83 is retracted from the side portion of the lock member 81, and the flange portion 68 of the closed wall portion 4 b is moved from the outer surface side of the closed wall portion 4 b to the door. The door member 9 is accommodated in the accommodating recess 66 while being inserted into the locking hole 92 of the member 9. Most of the door member 9 housed in the housing recess 66 is housed inside the housing recess 66 (more than half the thickness of the door member 9). By releasing the lock member 81 after the housing, the lock bar 83 is inserted into the lock hole 69 and engaged, and the door member 9 cannot be removed from the closed wall portion 4b (relative displacement is impossible).

  Further, the door member 9 attached to the closing wall portion 4b protrudes slightly from the outer surface of the closing wall portion 4b, and does not protrude from the outer peripheral surface or inner surface side of the closing wall portion 4b. For this reason, even when the closed wall 4b is rotated with the door member 9 mounted, the door member 9 does not interfere with the short side base 7 or the long side wall 3 or the like, The closing wall 4b can be rotated relatively smoothly. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, even when the door member 9 is attached to the closed wall portion 4b, all the side wall portions 3 and 4 can be folded.

  In addition, the housing recess 66 is formed with a notch or the like as appropriate in the reinforcing rib 54, so that most of the outer peripheral surface of the door member 9 attached to the closing wall portion 4b and the inner peripheral surface of the housing recess 66 are approximately. It is comprised so that it may contact | abut and suppression of the rattling of the door member 9 is achieved. In addition, the upper and lower portions inside the receiving recess 66 are provided with a contact rib 67 formed by shortening the protruding length of the reinforcing rib 54, and the door member 9 received in the receiving recess 66 is The closed wall portion 4b is held in a state of being separated from the outer surface of the wall main body 51.

  The vertical width of the door member 9 is substantially the same (slightly shorter) as the vertical width of the wall body 51 of the opening wall portion 4a and the closing wall portion 4b. For this reason, with respect to the closed wall portion 4b configured to surround the entire outer periphery of the mounted door member 9, the housing recess 66 extends to the short side hinge portion 53 that is configured wider than the door member 9. Exist. Further, the strength of the short side hinge portion 53 is ensured by the abutting rib 67. Further, with respect to the vertical wall portion 25 of the short side base portion 7 to which the closing wall portion 4b is rotatably connected, the entire housing recess 66 is exposed to the side even when the closing wall portion 4b is raised. Corresponding parts are notched. Thereby, the door member 9 can be attached to and detached from the closed wall portion 4b even in a state where the closed wall portion 4b is raised.

  The short side wall 4 in the folded state is positioned below the upper edge of the corner protrusion 24 and the slip prevention protrusion 26, and in the vertical direction, the upper surface of the corner protrusion 24, The distance from the short side wall 4 is longer than the protruding length of the bottom rib 2b from the bottom plate 2a. Furthermore, even if the door member 9 is mounted on the closed wall portion 4b and the closed wall portion 4b is folded, the distance between the upper surface of the corner projection 24 and the door member 9 in the vertical direction is such that the bottom rib 2b It is longer than the protruding length from the bottom plate 2a. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, when the folded containers 1 in a folded state are stacked up and down (stacked), the upper folded container on the upper surface of the corner projection 24 of the lower folded container 1. 4 corners of the lower surface of the folding container 1 are supported, and the four corners of the outer peripheral surface of the bottom rib 2b of the upper folding container 1 are formed by the respective corner projections 24 and the slip prevention projections 26 of the lower folding container 1. It is positioned in contact with the corner portion. Therefore, the folded containers 1 in the folded state can be stably stacked.

  Further, even when all the side wall portions 3 and 4 are erected and used in a box shape, when the folding containers 1 are stacked, the upper side folding containers 1 are separated by the upper side portions of the side wall portions 3 and 4 of the lower folding container 1. 1 is supported, and the bottom rib of the upper folding container 1 enters the inner circumferential side of the side walls 3 and 4 of the lower folding container 1 for positioning. Therefore, the folding containers 1 in use can be stably stacked.

  As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, an article accommodated in the folding container 1 can be taken out from the side to one side (opening wall 4a) of the short side wall 4. A side opening 8 is formed, and a door member 9 that can open and close the side opening 8 is detachably provided on the opening wall 4a. Furthermore, the folding container 1 of this embodiment is provided with the closing wall part 4b which can mount | wear with the door member 9 removed from the side surface opening part 8 so that the side surface opening part 8 may be opened. For this reason, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the door member 9 is lost while the folding container 1 is used with the side opening 8 opened. Moreover, since the door member 9 is always with the main body of the folding container 1, it is not necessary to separately secure a storage place for the door member 9 that is not used, and workability when the door member 9 is frequently attached or removed is improved. Improvements can be made. Therefore, the convenience (usability) of the folding container 1 including the detachable door member 9 can be improved.

  In addition, the door member 9 can be mounted on the outer surface side of the closing wall 4b. For this reason, the door member 9 attached to the closed wall 4b avoids a situation in which the accommodation space inside the folding container 1, the opening above the folding container 1, and the side opening 8 are narrowed. In addition, it is possible to improve workability when the door member 9 is attached to and detached from the closed wall portion 4b.

  When the side opening 8 is closed by the door member 9, the lock bar 83 of the lock member 81 of the door member 9 is inserted into the engagement hole 62 of the opening wall 4 a and engaged, and the door member 9 is engaged. In the state of being attached to the closing wall portion 4b, the lock bar 83 is inserted into and engaged with the lock hole 69 of the closing wall portion 4b. Therefore, the door member 9 can be fixed to the closed wall portion 4b by using the lock member 81 for fixing the door member 9 to the opening wall portion 4a. For this reason, for example, the door member 9 has a simplified structure, improved workability, and lighter weight than the case of providing the locking member for the closing wall portion 4b separately from the locking member for the opening wall portion 4a. Etc. can be achieved. In addition, since the lock bar 83 is configured to slide along the outer surface of the door member 9 (base portion 71), the engaged wall that engages with the lock bar 83 in the opening wall portion 4a and the closing wall portion 4b. The portions (engagement holes 62, lock holes 69) can be formed relatively easily, and the engagement state can be stabilized.

  Further, the door member is formed by hooking a finger on the operation side finger hook portion 88 formed on the lock member 81 of the door member 9 and the main body side finger hook portion 91 formed on the main body side (support rib 79) of the door member 9. 9 (with one hand) and by applying force (gripping) the operation side finger hook portion 88 and the main body side finger hook portion 91 as they are, the lock bar 83 is moved to the release position. Can be displaced. Therefore, the workability at the time of replacing the door member 9 between the opening wall portion 4a and the closing wall portion 4b can be dramatically improved. Particularly, if the door member 9 is gripped by putting fingers on the knobs 88 and 91, the door member 9 can be carried without having the outer peripheral edge of the door member 9, so that the housing formed in the closed wall portion 4b. The door member 9 can be moved relatively smoothly into the inner peripheral side of the recess 66, and the above-described operation and effect of improving workability for mounting the door member 9 to the closed wall portion 4b can be achieved more reliably. Further, since the finger is hung not only on the lock member 81 but also on the main body side of the door member 9, stability and durability when the door member 9 is lifted can be improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, not only when the door member 9 is attached to the opening wall portion 4a, but also when the door member 9 is attached to the closed wall portion 4b, all the side wall portions 3 and 4 are laid down. As a position, the folding container 1 can be folded compactly. Therefore, the convenience can be improved, and even when a plurality of folding containers 1 are stacked, they can be ordered. Further, even when the folding container 1 is folded and transported / stored, it is not necessary to remove the door members 9 one by one. It is possible to improve the workability when the folding container 1 is folded or assembled.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the short side hinge part 53 of the opening wall part 4a is comprised wider than the side surface opening part 8 and the door member 9. As shown in FIG. For this reason, even if the vertical width of the side opening 8 is relatively large so as to be substantially the same as the vertical width of the wall main body 51 of the opening wall 4a, the short side hinge portion 53 and the left side of the wall main body 51 The shape of the opening wall part 4a can be maintained by connecting the right side part. Therefore, the side opening 8 can be formed as large as possible, and the workability at the time of putting in / out the article through the side opening 8 can be improved.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the short side wall part 4 (opening wall part 4a and closing wall part 4b) to which the door member 9 is mounted is configured to be folded above the long side wall part 3. Yes. That is, when the short side wall 4 is folded down (forward), the short side wall 4 is folded while avoiding interference with the long side wall 3 and the long side base 6. Therefore, it becomes necessary to narrow the lateral width of the short side wall 4. In this regard, as in the present embodiment, the short side wall 4 is folded up (rear) so that the short side wall 4 extends to the full width (in the short direction) of the container 1. Therefore, the side opening 8 can be formed as wide as possible.

  Further, the door member 9 is configured such that the guide rail 61 formed along the side edge portion of the opening wall portion 4a is relatively inserted into the groove portion 74 formed along the side portion of the door member 9. Can be guided to a position where the side opening 8 can be closed relatively smoothly. Further, in a state where the side opening 8 is closed by the door member 9, the first fitting convex portion 75 and the second fitting convex portion 77 of the door member 9 are replaced with the first fitting concave portion 63 and the first fitting concave portion 63 of the opening wall portion 4a. With the configuration of fitting into the two fitting recesses 64, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the door member 9 and more reliably maintain the state in which the side opening 8 is closed by the door member 9.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of the said embodiment, For example, you may implement as follows. Of course, other application examples and modification examples not illustrated below are also possible.
