  The present invention relates to a physical distribution box having a box main body made of a side member surrounding a floor board, wherein the side member is made up of a frame made of a shaft-like member and a face material attached to the frame.

  In the logistics industry, a great variety of containers and carts are used for transportation and storage depending on the type of goods handled or the scale and conditions of the storage location. For example, what is called a cage car or a cart, and a cart provided with a cage structure such as a basket has a carriage structure and is easy to move, and is widely used for cargo handling and storage. Also, what is called a roll box or roll box pallet is a wheel provided at the lower end of the outer frame, which allows the floor board to be flipped up in an empty state and takes a nesting state in which a plurality of units are stacked. Has the advantage of being able to.

  In addition, some have a pallet-type box structure. Since this type of box does not have wheels, a forklift or the like is used for transportation. Those belonging to this type of box, both those having a cart structure and those not having a cart structure, have a cage-like cage structure, and if a small article is loaded, it may pass through the cage. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-302175 discloses this type of prior art, in which a load support base, that is, a floor board, is flipped up, and a right side surface is folded into a flat L-shape.

  However, if the basket is made too small, the merit of the manufacturing basket structure cannot be utilized, and the cost increases. Even if that is not the only reason, a distribution box in which a member called a face material or a face plate is attached to a frame of a frame has come to be used. The face material in the present invention is a generic term for those similar to such face materials and face plates. Conventionally, when manufacturing a side member using such face materials, the face plates are attached to the frame one by one using separate mounting pieces, and there is a problem that workability is not good.
