ABSTRACT:
A collapsible goods-shipping container of the type used for loading on ships, trailer, trucks or railroad cars has a base, side walls hinged at their lower edges to sides of the base for folding inwards one over the other onto the base, end walls incorporating corner posts by which they are pivoted to stub corner posts of the base for folding over the side walls in the collapsed condition and a roof or lid somewhat shorter than the overall length of the container and adapted to rest on the upper edges of the side and end walls, the roof being somewhat shorter than the base to enable the roof to be stowed under the folded end walls, the remainder of the roof being formed by top portions of the end walls. Sealing means are provided on the various components so as to exclude water when the container is in its erected condition.
