[Prior art]
Conventionally, various types of containers have been used for the distribution of articles, and many foldable containers have been proposed so as not to be bulky when transported or stored when the goods are not used. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
[0003]
In this type of container, an inner member having a holding portion made of a cushioning material having a high cushioning property may be used by being fitted according to the necessity of the contained article. This inner member can be held in the container so that the contained articles are not rattled and scratched, and a large number of articles having a special shape such as a steering wheel are accommodated in a box to be transported and stored. It becomes possible to do.
[0004]
However, when an inner member is used in the folding container, the inner member protrudes inside the container or protrudes and is bulky due to the nature of the cushioning material. However, it is currently transported and stored in a bulky box shape as it is. Of course, it is conceivable to remove the inner member from the container, but there is a need for another space for the removed inner member and there is a risk of losing it. There's a problem.
