ABSTRACT:
A collapsible container comprising substantially identical, oppositely disposed top and bottom panels, each having at least three edges, a pair of side wall panels for each of these edges, each pair comprising upper and lower panels having edges hingedly connected to the top and bottom panels respectively along associated edges thereof, the upper and lower panels being hingedly interjointed along interconnection edges thereof and being adjacently disposed outwardly of the top and bottom panels when the container is collapsed. The container further comprises tube means disposed along the interconnection edges, and a string disposed within said tube means, whereby drawing the string serves to erect the container by retracting the side wall panels inwardly to vertically separate the top and bottom panels. Alternatively, a rigid frame or other suitable means may be used in place of the tube and draw string.
