    Patent number: 9084463
    Abstract: In preferred embodiments, a novel container transport device comprising two collapsible elongate walls with the bottom of each collapsible wall joined to two opposite and parallel sides of a base and two side support walls joined to two opposite and parallel sides of the base perpendicular to the two collapsible elongate walls. In preferred embodiments, the top of each collapsible wall is joined to a parallel and opposite side of the retainer. Two side support walls are hingedly joined to two opposite and parallel sides of the retainer perpendicular to the collapsible walls. The side support walls may be moved between a first position in which the bottom of each side support wall contacts an opposite side of the base, and a second collapsed position in which the bottom of each side support wall is folded over the retainer to rest on the top of the device allowing the device to be collapsed.
