COLLAPSIBLE SHIPPING CONTAINER AND PROCEDURE TO DISASSEMBLE AND ASSEMBLE SAID CONTAINER

摘要

A container includes a typically upright structure that may be disassembled by the release of locks. The locks include a system of upper forced wedging longitudinal locks that connect to adjacent edges of the top walls and side walls of the container. Forced wedging cuneiform side locks connect the minor or head side walls to the major top walls and side walls. A method of assembly/disassembly includes a series of stages by which the locks are removed, the top wall is removed, the container's head walls are disassembled, the side walls are lowered and all these walls are overlapped on the base wall until forming a flat structure. This flat structure may be mounted again in the opposite manner, until the container is upright and forms the load housing again.

主权项

1. A collapsible shipping container having a structure that is reversibly collapsible or foldable until forming a flat structure of overlapping walls, comprising:
a base wall, side walls and a top wall, wherein the base wall, the side walls and the top wall are connected at their respective edges and corners so as to form a container housing; locks connecting the base wall, the side walls and the top wall to each other, the shipping container being at least partially collapsible upon removal of the locks, wherein the locks comprise forced wedging longitudinal locks that connect the top wall with the side walls, wherein the forced wedging longitudinal locks act in forced wedging passages that go through the adjacent edges of the top and the side walls, and wherein the forced wedging passages extends between a wedging opening and a wedge-removing opening.
