  • Folding containers
    Patent number: 4355732
    Abstract: A folding container has a base for carrying goods and end walls with corner posts articulated to the base by pins. Each corner post has a heel which just clears a bridge member above its arcuate path of movement. To lock each corner post upright, a locking member can be slid into the gap between the bridge member and the heel parallel to the axis of articulation to transmit compression forces directly from the heel portion to the bridge member.
