  • Patent number: 5881895
    Abstract: Collapsible containers configurable to provide a plurality of seaparate compartments are described, each having a back wall (84) carrying elements (104B, 104C) hingeably movable from positions parallel to the back wall to positions extending normally of that wall and defining compartments. In one embodiment stackable rigid structures (formed from inter-engageable boarding pieces) are placed within the container with the movable elements located between pairs of structures. In another embodiment the movable elements are rigid and form (when extended) bases for trays and lie immediately beneath side supports hinged to the back wall and rotatable from positions parallel to that wall to positions extending normally of that wall to act as end (and possibly) divider walls for the trays.

  • Patent number: 5833114
    Abstract: A container for the secure storage and transport of items, has a rigid rectangular base with rigid side walls upstanding from opposed edges thereof, a rigid back wall extending generally normally of the base wall between the side walls (preferably centrally of the base) and partition walls pivotally connected along one edge to the back wall. Each partition wall is foldable so that it is held against or parallel to the back wall and extendable from the back wall to be supported on runners on the side walls. The base and each partition wall has a front wall pivotally connected to its edge spaced from the back wall and when the partition walls are extended these front walls are each movable to extend upwardly between the side walls from its associated partition wall to the one thereabove.
