  • Patent number: 7588156
    Abstract: Collapsible container (1), which includes a carrying base part (20), collapsible side walls (30) and a lid (40). The side walls (30) are movably attached to said base part (20) by lower hinge members (31). The first and second side walls are moveably attached to an upper frame member (50) via upper hinge members (35). An upper edge of third and fourth side walls (33 and 34 respectively) are each provided with at least one locking lip (37), limiting the outwards movement by interacting with an inner edge (51) of upper frame member (50). The lid (40) is provided with an inner rim (41) which is interacting with inner edge (51) of upper frame member (50). The inner rim (41) is furthermore interacting with locking lips (37) thereby limiting inwards movement of third and fourth side walls (33 and 34 respectively) while lid (40) is arranged on collapsible container (1) whereby undesired collapsing of said collapsible container (1) is prevented when lid (40) is arranged on container (1).
