This container is made up of a bottom plate and a ceiling plate, side plates, a back plate, and a front plate, each having an appropriate size. When in use, it is unfolded and assembled into a box shape, and when not in use, it is folded.

A door is formed on the front plate, and the bottom plate, ceiling plate, and both side plates are each made up of two plates, a front plate and a rear plate, which are pivotally attached to each other.

The front plate of the bottom plate is fixed at right angles to the lower edge of the front plate, the front plate of the ceiling plate is fixed at right angles to the upper edge of the front plate, and the left and right edges of the front plate are fixed at right angles. The front plates of the left and right side plates are pivotally attached to the front plate so as to be rotatable approximately 90 degrees about a vertical rotation axis.

Further, a rear plate is pivotally attached to the front plate of the bottom plate so as to be able to rotate approximately 90 degrees about a horizontal rotation axis, and a rear plate is pivotally attached to the front plate of the ceiling plate so that it can rotate approximately 90 degrees about a horizontal rotation axis. It is pivoted so that it can rotate. Further, a rear plate is pivotally attached to the front plate of the above-mentioned both side plates so as to be able to rotate approximately 180 degrees about a vertical rotation axis, and each of the rear plates has a vertical rotation axis perpendicular to the left and right edges of the above-mentioned back plate. It is pivoted so that it can rotate approximately 90 degrees on a rotation axis.

Moreover, rising plates are fixedly fixed to the left and right edges of the front plate and the rear plate of the bottom plate facing inward at right angles, and also rising plates are fixedly fixed to the rear edge of the rear plate facing inward at right angles. It is fixedly installed. Further, facing these, similarly, rising boards are fixedly fixed inwardly at right angles to the left and right edges of the front plate and the rear plate of the ceiling board, and to the rear edge of the rear plate. Also, the rising plate is fixed at a right angle facing inward.

First of all, when this container is unfolded and assembled during use, the raised plates on each side edge and rear edge of the bottom plate and ceiling plate allow the unfolded back plate and flat side plates to be held together. held fixedly. Furthermore, the rear plates of the unfolded flat bottom plate and ceiling plate are also fixedly held by such a back plate and both side plates. In this way, the container is fixedly held in the unfolded and assembled state during use, with a simple structure and easy operation, without requiring many special fasteners.

Secondly, when this container is in the folded state when not in use, the folded back panel and folded side panels are separated by the rising panels at each side edge of the front panel of the bottom panel and the ceiling panel, respectively. It is held fixedly by the raised plates on each side edge and the rear edge of the folded rear plate of the bottom plate and the ceiling plate, respectively. In this way, the container has a simple configuration and easy operation, and is thus fixedly held in a folded state when not in use.

Furthermore, thirdly, the container operates in a guided and easy manner both during use and during non-use, i.e. unfolding and assembling and folding operations. That is, when pushed toward the back plate and front plate from the unfolded and assembled state, the front plate and rear plate of both side plates fold inward from a flat plate shape, and the back plate
It is folded close to the front plate side through such both side plates. Then, the rear plate of the ceiling plate is folded inwards, ie, downwardly, by approximately 90 degrees, and the rear plate of the bottom plate is also folded inwardly, ie, upwardly, by approximately 90 degrees. Such a folding operation brings the container into a folded state. On the other hand, from this folded state, the container is brought into an unfolded and assembled state by following the unfolding and assembling operation that is opposite to the above-mentioned folding operation, such as separating the back plate from the front plate side.

In such folding and unfolding and assembly operations, the back plate and both side plates are held and guided on the left and right between the rising plates on each side edge of the bottom plate and ceiling plate, and are pushed and pulled sideways. This can be done with easy operations such as
