  • Publication number: 20040084447
    Abstract: A collapsible storage and transport container made of plastic, has a bottom, lengthwise and crosswise side walls that rise vertically from it, opposite one another in pairs, in the operating position, and a top end frame connected with the side walls in articulated manner, in the region of their top edge. The lengthwise side walls are mounted on the bottom and on the end frame, in articulated manner, about longitudinal axes that run parallel to one another and to the plane of the bottom, and can be folded about a center longitudinal axis. The crosswise side walls are structured in one piece, in each instance, and are arranged to pivot about a crosswise axis that is parallel to the plane of the bottom, after a lock has been released, from their upright position into a horizontal collapsed position. The crosswise side walls are mounted to pivot in the region of the bottom, and are provided, at their free top edge, with devices to secure them in place with a positive lock, on the top end frame.

  • Patent number: 5964372
    Abstract: The container includes a lower part and a lid. The lower part is of a single wall structure and is reinforced at its upper edge area by a reinforcing wall. The lower end of the reinforcing wall is curved inwards and extends into the side wall. Thus, an edge at the lower end of the edge area is prevented. The upper edges of the lid are also rounded and run smoothly into the reinforcing wall. The lid includes ribs which, when the lid is placed on the lower part, come to lie onto corresponding ribs of the lower part. The lid is connected to the lower part by a snapping mechanism. The lid includes an opening, into which a ledge of the snapping mechanism can be snapped in. This ledge is accessible through this opening to release the ledge to disengage the opening.
