  • Collapsible receptacle for storage of bulk items
    Patent number: 4454950
    Abstract: The collapsible receptacle includes first and second planar pieces pivotally connected together by a piano hinge, thus forming a V-shaped receiving section. A third piece cooperates with an extension of the first piece to form a U-shaped support base. A back piece is removably secured to the first and second piece, and the receiving section slopes toward the back piece so that debris is directed rearwardly. Finally, a chain is used to restrain the outward movement of the first and third pieces.
