ABSTRACT:
In order to permit a purchaser to assemble a collapsible cage simply and without the need for special tools, the side walls (2 to 5), which are usually four in number, are connected to each other by sectional corner connectors (7 to 10). The sectional corner connectors are longitudinally divided into two parts and consist of an outer part (16) and an inner part (17). Both parts are undetachably connected via rotating parts (22). In one variant, spreader springs (35, 36) ensure that the parts (16, 17) of the sectional corner connectors are held apart in the untightened state so that the widest possible gap (33) is created for inserting the edge zones (19, 20) of the gratings. When the rotating parts (22) are rotated, for example through about 90.degree., this causes the inner part (17) of the sectional corner connector to move towards the outer part, while at the same time clamping the edge zones (19, 20) of the gratings.
