ABSTRACT:
Hollow, generally rectilinear structures having a top, a bottom, sides and ends can be constructed so as to be capable of being manipulated between a "normal" or unfolded type configuration and a collapsed or folded configuration in which the ends extend generally parallel to and beneath the top and in which the sides are folded so as to be located next to the ends generally between the bottom and the top. Such a structure includes hinges connecting the ends to the top so that they can be pivoted so as to lie generally parallel to the top. Such a structure also includes a frame or frame-type elements forming a part of the top and extending adjacent to the ends when the ends are folded into such a collapsed position. The sides consist of an even number of elongated panels located in edge relationship and joined by hinges to the frame or frame elements of the top, to the bottom and to each other in such a manner that they may be folded inwardly so as to be located generally parallel to the top and the bottom next to the ends when the ends are in the folded position indicated. Such a structure is disclosed as having utility as a playhouse or storage shed but can be utilized for other purposes such as a container.
