  • Patent number: 5918798
    Abstract: A re-usable compact self-containable collapsible container comprising a substantially rectangular base and four substantially rectangular walls having parallel sides and parallel ends. The sides and ends are foldably joined to a perimeter of the base opposite each other respectively. Each side is foldably joined end-to-end with adjacent ends and each end is foldably joined end-to-end with adjacent sides. Each side is foldably divided into three segments along lines extending approximately a 45 degree angle from a corner toward approximately a center of the side. The three segments comprise a center segment foldably joined to two outer segments where an outer segment base length is approximately equal to one-half of a center segment base length. The sides and ends cooperatively form an open mouth of the container substantially co-extensive with the perimeter of the base when the container is in an expanded position.
