Folding boxes comprising a rigid bottom (10) and rigid side walls (11-14) are already known per se. The side walls (11-14) are connected to the bottom (10) in an articulated manner by means of articulation devices (20-23) such that when in a stowed position they are parallel to said bottom (10) and when in a used position they are substantially perpendicular to the bottom (10) and define a stowage area (9). The corners (40, 41) are joined to each other in a tension-resistant manner by at least two opposite sides (12, 14). The inventive device comprises side walls (11-14) which are disposed on the same plane as the bottom (10) in the stowed position. The side walls (11-14) are joined to each other by fold-in corners (30-33) in order to form an uninterrupted surface (10) Detachable fixing devices (50, 55) are disposed on the corners (40, 41) of opposite side walls (11, 14) such that the fixing devices (50, 55) are open in a stowed position and the fixing devices (50, 55) are closed in a used position in order to ensure that the corners (40, 41) are joined in a tension-resistant manner. |
