Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0162609A1] The invention relates to a collapsible container (1) provided with a bottom (2), which consists of a plastic shaped part and on whose lateral wall (7) grooves (8) extend. The collapsible container is also provided with lateral walls (3), which are joined in a collapsible manner to the vertical container edges and which are to inserted into said grooves (8), and is provided with a supporting base (13). The design of the collapsible container is improved in that the supporting base (13) is fastened as an optionally foldable part to a lateral wall (3) or in that two folding parts (14) which, together, form the supporting base (13) are fastened to two opposing lateral walls (3). The number of parts to be manipulated is reduced by virtue of the fact that the supporting base is no longer provided as a separate part. The labor associated with the supporting base is limited to folding the folding part(s) against the lateral wall(s) when collapsing the container, and is limited to folding out of said folding part(s) when erecting the container. In addition, the container is considerably stabilized when filled. The item(s) placed therein press(es), with the weight thereof that presses against the folding part(s), the four lateral walls downward and into the grooves and recesses of the bottom.
