A folding container has a base 2, an open upper frame 4 of substantially the same size and shape as the base, and collapsible support means 5 which can be either be pivoted to one of the base or the frame, and slidable on the other. Alternatively, the support means can be pivoted at an intermediate point 21 and at both end points (7, 22, Fig.9) on the base and the frame respectively. The container may comprise a flexible side panel 12 adapted to extend between the upper frame and the base which can be made of a sheet of elastic material, a mesh or net formed from flexible or elastic filaments, a slitted sheet or a fanfold panel. The base and the frame may have cavities (15, Fig.7) to receive part of the panel as it is collapsed, and it also may incorporate a rolling mechanism (18, Fig.8) to take the panel slack as it is collapsed. |
