Abstract

Provided is a box that can protect articles stored inside the box from a shock and can secure a storage place for accessories. A storage section of a box ( 1 ) has an inner circumferential wall section ( 11 ) that surrounds a storage space (S 1 ), an outer circumferential wall section ( 12 ) that surrounds the inner circumferential wall section and forms a gap with the inner circumferential wall section, and a wall top plate section ( 13 ) that is connected to an upper end of the inner circumferential wall section and an upper end of the outer circumferential wall section via creases. A rear outer wall section ( 12 B) of the outer circumferential wall section can be opened and closed to the outside about a crease with the wall top plate section in a state in which a lid section is opened. A side plate section ( 23 ) of the lid section ( 20 ) covers the outer surface of the rear outer wall section in a state in which the lid section is closed.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a box and a box material. BACKGROUND ART PTL 1 discloses an input device used for operating a game device. Articles such as components (for example, replacement parts) of the input device are shipped in a state in which they are stored inside a box provided with a lid section. By forming such a box by bending a flat plate-shaped member such as corrugated cardboard, the manufacturing cost of the box can be reduced. CITATION LIST Patent Literature PTL 1 PCT Patent Publication No. WO2014/061362 SUMMARY Technical Problem The articles stored in the box are provided with accessories such as spare parts, warranties, and instruction manuals in some cases. The box is required to protect the articles stored inside the box from a shock and to secure a storage place for the accessories. For example, it is difficult in some cases to store the accessories in the same place as the space formed to store the articles. An object of the present disclosure is to provide a box that can protect articles stored inside the box from a shock and can secure a storage place for accessories. Solution to Problem A box according to the present disclosure is a box provided with a storage section in which a storage space for storing articles is defined and a lid section that covers an upper side of the storage section. The storage section has an inner circumferential wall section that surrounds the storage space and opens in an up-down direction, an outer circumferential wall section that surrounds the inner circumferential wall section and forms a gap with the inner circumferential wall section, a wall top plate section that is connected to an upper end of the inner circumferential wall section and an upper end of the outer circumferential wall section via creases, and a bottom plate section that covers a lower side of the storage space and configures a bottom section of the storage section. The outer circumferential wall section has a first outer wall section on one side in a first direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The first outer wall section is able to be opened and closed to an outside of the storage section in a state in which the lid section is opened. The lid section has a side plate section that covers an outer surface of the first outer wall section in a state in which the lid section is closed. According to this, it is possible to protect the articles stored inside the box from a shock and to secure a storage place for accessories. In addition, a box material according to the present disclosure is a flat plate-shaped box material that is able to form, by being bent, a box provided with a storage section in which a storage space for storing articles is defined and a lid section that covers an upper side of the storage section. In a state in which the box is formed, the storage section has an inner circumferential wall section that surrounds the storage space and opens in an up-down direction, an outer circumferential wall section that surrounds the inner circumferential wall section and forms a gap with the inner circumferential wall section, a wall top plate section that is connected to an upper end of the inner circumferential wall section and an upper end of the outer circumferential wall section via creases, and a bottom plate section that covers a lower side of the storage space and configures a bottom section of the storage section. In the state in which the box is formed, the outer circumferential wall section has a first outer wall section on one side in a first direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. In a state in which the box is formed and the lid section is opened, the first outer wall section is able to be opened and closed to an outside of the storage section. In a state in which the box is formed and the lid section is closed, the lid section has a side plate section that covers an outer surface of the first outer wall section. According to this, it is possible to form a box that protects the articles stored inside the box from a shock and secures a storage place for accessories.
