(54) Container


(57) The present invention relates to a collapsible container comprising a pair of stacking members which, when the container is erect, are movable between a stacking position in which the stacking members are positioned to support the base of another container stacked thereon and a filling position in which the stacking members are substantially removed from the opening in the top of the container, and wherein the container further comprises a pair of releasable locking mechanisms, each of the releasable locking mechanisms operable to retain one wall of the first pair of opposed walls in an upstanding position and locked to both the walls of the second pair of walls when the walls of the second pair of walls are also in an upstanding position, and wherein the pair of releasable locking mechanisms are independent of the stacking members.
