<p>An erectable and collapsible container. The container is transformable from an erect condition to a collapsed condition, upon the application of compressive forces. Likewise, the container is transformable from a collapsed condition to an erect condition upon the application of extension forces. The container has a plurality of sidewalls, at least one of which is articulable about a hinge line. The sidewalls are interconnected by a floor pan. The floor pan lies in a plane having a vector component perpendicular to the collapse and erect direction. Preferably, each of the sidewalls is articulable about its own hinge line, the hinge lines each being disposed substantially parallel to and equidistant from the plane of the floor pan.</p> |
