ABSTRACT:
A collapsible container for storing and transporting bulk material, particularly baled rubber, and the like, comprising independent floor and wall members which can readily be moved between container forming and knockdown positions. In the container-forming positions of the wall members, a container of substantial capacity is formed and in the knock-down position of the walls, the container can be stocked so that several containers can be transported in a minimum transportation space. The floor is provided, adjacent its periphery, with an arcuate groove and the walls are provided at their bottom ends with complimentary shaped projections which pivotally interfit within the floor groove to facilitate quick and easy movement of the walls between upright container forming positions and horizontal knock-down positions. Releasable latches are provided at the upper corners of the container to connect adjacent walls together. The container has supporting legs which are constructed to facilitate stacking of a number of containers and to provide confined spaces between the stacked containers in which the side walls can be stored.
