ABSTRACT:
A knock down bulk container has side and end panels hinged to a base. In assembling the container for use, first the end panels are uprighted to a substantially vertical position, and then the side panels are swung to an upright position. As the side panels are swung into their upright position, lift pins formed to protrude laterally outwardly from each side edge of the side panels engage a lift track in an end wall of the base to raise each of the side panels vertically with respect to its hinge axis. To connect the panels together, the end panels are formed with pockets along their edges adjacent the corners of the container, and the side panels have hooks that are seated within the pockets of the end panels. As the side panels are swung into their upright position, the hooks are positioned vertically above the pockets by the engagement of the lift pins with the tracks. Once in the vertical position, the lift pins disengage from the tracks and the side panels drop downwardly to seat the hooks within the pockets to form the corners of the container.
