2. Description of the Related Art Regarding conventional storage and transportation equipment, there are used square or round cloth, plastic sheet made of minnow or square or round plastic molded product baskets or box-shaped transportation equipment. Some things can not be folded at all, or it can be folded like a plastic molded product, but it takes time to assemble to make it open independently, and those made of cloth or sheet manage to open independently while new. However, the shape was distorted by a small stress and it was difficult to open independently.

[0003]

In such a conventional storage and carrying device, since it does not open by itself when used, it takes a lot of time to open it, and it requires manual labor for folding after use, or it cannot be folded. In that case, there is a problem in that it becomes bulky and takes up space for storage and transportation. In particular, there is no mesh box that has a freestanding opening and a folding function,
It was often very time-consuming, space-consuming and very difficult to carry out the storage work of plants and the like and the drying of the storage goods in the same container. Further, in the case of work in the rain, there is a problem in that it is not very easy to use, such as poor drainage and the contents remaining in the can such as an empty can overflowing and overflowing, and it cannot be washed because it accumulates in the container. In addition, there is no watertight box-shaped container that can be freely folded and closed.
Many cases are inconvenient because it takes a lot of space for transporting the box itself and it is difficult to inject the liquid at the time of injecting it unless it is opened independently. Further, when the box-shaped container is large, especially when it is wet with rainwater or the like, the side surface self-supporting strength at the time of self-supporting opening is lost, and there is also a problem that it tends to fall down.
