(57) A collapsible tray produced from a rigid blank. Two walls (6, 8) of the tray are
each provided with a respective first fold line (18,18) which extends parallel with
the lower edge of the wall, and a respective second and a third fold line (20,21 and
22,23) which extends from a respective one of the two lower corners of the wall to
a respective free edge (14,16) of the wall while intersecting the first fold line
to form an oblique angle (v,) therewith, the second and the third fold lines forming
an angle of about 45° with a respective side edge extending from the same corner.
The tray can be either folded (Figure 2) along the first fold line to form rim sections
(26-29) which when folded outwards lock the walls in a position in which folding along
the second and the third fold lines is prevented, or can be folded (Figure 3) along
the second and the third fold line, so as to collapse the tray.
It is suggested that Figure 1 is published together with the abstract.
