ABSTRACT:
A collapsible wire cage has opposite side walls, upper and lower walls, and end walls of wire grille construction defining an enclosure. Each end wall is pivoted at one side edge to a respective one of the side walls and has a releasable locking mechanism at its other side edge for releasably securing it to the other side wall. The upper and lower walls are each formed in two panel sections, one of which is pivoted to one of the side walls and the other of which is pivoted to the other side wall. The panel sections are pivotally connected together to allow them to pivot between an expanded position in which they are coplanar and a folded position in which they are pivoted inwardly and flattened against one another to collapse the cage. A releasable locking mechanism is provided on each of the collapsible walls to retain them in their expanded, coplanar position. In an alternative, the side walls may be collapsible with the end walls pivotally secured to the upper and lower walls.
