When B is lined up in the lateral direction, a gap is likely to occur between the top plates. In consideration of this, at the corners where the front and rear bent parts and the left and right bent parts are in contact with each other, cutouts are provided on both bent parts, and the corners have convex parts on two side surfaces. It was considered to fit and fix the members. In such a cutout and a corner member, one of the convex portions of the corner member is fitted into a cutout portion which is opened in any one of the bent portions,
After that, the corner member is rotated and fitted into the cutout side of the remaining bent portion. However, in this way, the notch has a structure that covers the front and side bent portions and the rear and side bent portions, respectively,
Since the convex portions are fitted to the respective bent portions, the fitting cannot be performed unless at least one of the bent portion and the corner member has an elastic force. In other words, since the corner member is fitted to the corner portion, it looks good but the bent portion has elastic force.
Structurally, the strength of that portion was sometimes reduced.
