ABSTRACT:
The container comprises a relatively stiff, form-retaining supporting frame and a flexible shell member. The supporting frame comprises a polygonal bottom member and a corresponding cover member. Each angular point of the bottom member is connected with an angular point of the cover member by means of a rod-shaped element. The flexible shell member is connected with each rod-shaped element by means of a flexible loop member. Each loop member starts from a point of attachment to the shell member and passes around a rod-shaped element to a second point of attachment. The arrangement is such that the loop members keep the shell member within the outer boundaries of the supporting frame at all times, at least if the shell member contains goods to be packaged. According to the invention, a strip-shaped member made from a flexible material is connected with the shell member at the points of attachment. It has a length at least equal to that of a rod-shaped element and a width greater than that of the shell member between two points of attachment. The associated rod-shaped element extends between the loop member and the strip-shaped member.
