Abstract: A system and method for providing a multi-paneled hamper where adjacent panels are coupled to one another via an exposed hinge-like pivoting coupling.

Abstract: A collapsible hamper having top and bottom generally stiff frames, a body of flexible sheet material secured to and extending lengthwise between the frames, and a plurality of generally stiff legs each having top and bottom ends, the hamper having collapsed and assembled states, each leg positionable transversely between and engaging the top and bottom frames with its top and bottom ends respectively for urging the frames apart and thereby stretching the body in the lengthwise direction when the hamper is in its assembled state, the frames being moved towards each other and the body folded when the hamper is in the collapsed state has stretchable elastic hinge means fixedly attaching the top end of each leg to said top frame.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a ready-to-assemble hamper which includes a bottom frame, a top frame, and a body panel which joins together the top and the bottom frames. Disposed on the bottom frame and on the top frame are panel recesses for accepting the body panel. Each of the panel recesses is formed by an inner wall and an intermediate wall. The top and bottom frames each are affixed to the body panel by pins which are inserted successively though its inner wall, the body panel, and its intermediate wall and which are not readily visible on the assembled hamper as they are covered by outer walls on the top frame and on the bottom frame.
