Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box that does not have a compact size when folded when not in use, and that allows easy loading and unloading of stored luggage when in use.

  The use of home delivery has increased because Internet home delivery has become widespread, and home delivery companies have been actively collecting goods as well as store reception.

  However, households that tend to be absent due to diversified working hours, dual-income nuclear families, etc. have concerns that they cannot use courier service and collection services, while courier companies also have a high redelivery rate. As a result, there are problems such as poor business efficiency and having to visit the customer's house at irregular times for collection.

  Therefore, a home delivery box that can be installed in an entrance wall, a gate, a passage of a condominium, etc. even in a general house and enables receipt of goods when absent is known (Patent Document 1).

  In addition, the conventional delivery box as described above has a relatively large box shape even when it is not in use, so it is bulky to store indoors, and if it is placed outdoors, it may hinder traffic and impair the aesthetics. Therefore, a delivery box is known that can be folded and stored compactly when not in use, and can be easily assembled and stored when receiving goods (Patent Document 2).

  Furthermore, as a structure for folding the box, a structure having crossed side support columns is known (Patent Document 3).
