The former position is secured by stop means attached to the base portion and positioned to bear against the lower portions of generally U-shaped handle member pivotally attached to the uppermost of the longitudinal members to stabilize the container in open position. The longitudinal members are preferably of approximately convex cross section, opening downwardly to facilitate nesting and intromission of said members on rotation of said side sections to collapsed condition.
