FIG.

As shown in these figures, in the storage box 1, the side wall 4 near the lower part of the peripheral edge of the charging port 2 is bent inward, and the portion whose outer surface is directed downward is defined as a ventilation side wall 5. A ventilation hole 6 having a ventilation net 8 formed in the ventilation side wall 5 is formed. Such ventilation holes 6 prevent ventilation of insects and the like, and are ventilated.
In addition to suppressing the rise in temperature inside the outdoor storage box, it can prevent the smell from being muffled.

The storage box 1 is formed into a substantially cubic shape in which the inlet 2 is somewhat narrowed by blow molding synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride resin. The side walls 4 buried in the ground are formed with irregularities 4a to improve the strength of the storage box 1. In addition, the ventilation side wall 5 is formed at one corner near the lower part of the peripheral edge of the inlet 2.

The lid 3 is formed by foaming and injection-molding a synthetic resin such as PPO (polyphenylene oxide) resin, and is formed in a shape that gently bulges upward.
Therefore, the strength is improved and the formation of puddles is prevented. Particularly, by using a PPO resin, it is excellent in weather resistance, heat resistance, strength and the like.
