Abstract: In the present invention of a storage case, a space can be saved in the packing form. The skeleton frame of the storage case includes a pair of left and right side frames, a connecting pipe connecting the front end portions of the side frames, and a back panel connecting the rear end portions of the side frames. Therefore, in the skeleton frame, the bottom wall of the case can be supported by the support portion of the side frame without providing the bottom plate that supports the entire bottom wall of the case. As a result, when the storage case is disassembled, it is not necessary to vertically stack the bottom plates that receive the entire bottom wall of the case from below, so that it is possible to save space in the packing form of the storage case.

Abstract: In a skeleton frame of a storage box, a boundary frame, front columns, and rear columns are integrally formed. Therefore, the ease of assembly of the storage box can be improved. In addition, gouged portions that are depressed inward in a width direction from an outermost shape in the width direction of the boundary frame are formed in both side portions in the width direction of the boundary frame. When the skeleton frames are nested, the front columns of the skeleton frame on a lower side are disposed in the gouged portions of the skeleton frame on an upper side. Accordingly, even in the skeleton frame where the rear columns and the front columns are integrally formed with the boundary frame, the skeleton frames can be nested in a vertically stacked state.
