Abstract
In a folding container assembled in a box form by raising folded long side walls 51 so as to stand perpendicular to a bottom portion 10 and then raising folded short side walls 27 so as to stand perpendicular to the bottom portion, each of the short side walls is composed of an upper short side wall portion 27a and a lower short side wall portion 27b, and horizontal pins h3 formed on the upper short side wall portion are inserted into corresponding slits 35 in hinge female blocks H3formed on the lower short side wall portion to hinge the upper short side wall portion and the lower short side wall portion together. The short side walls are each composed of the upper short side wall portion and lower short side wall portion connected together with hinge members to reduce the height of the folded folding container. Accordingly, the folded folding container can be more efficiently housed to save housing spaces.
