Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0744360A1] The rubbish container (1) comprises a rear wall (3), a front wall (2), two side walls (4) and a bottom. The two side walls are deformable and can be folded onto each other to allow the front and rear walls to be brought together. The bottom is hinged on the front or rear wall. Each side wall has two folding sections (4a,4b) which are hinged together on an edge and hinged on the opposite edge to the rear and front walls. The front and rear walls, the folding sections and the bottom are all made by extrusion or injection moulding in high density polythene. There are also holders (17,18) for maintaining the container in the unfolded position. Each side wall holder is mounted so it can be displaced in the direction of the geometrical hinge axis of the associated folding section. Each holder is displaced between a locking position, in which it grips the two folding sections and holds them in the unfolded position, and a raised position allowing the flaps to be folded.
