摘要

The container comprises a relatively stiff, form-retaining supporting frame (1-4) and a flexible shell member (5). The supporting frame comprises a polygonal bottom member (3) and a corresponding cover member (1). Each angular point of the bottom member (3) is connected with an angular point of the cover member (1) by means of a rod-shaped element (4). The flexible shell member (5) is connected with each rod-shaped element (4) by means of a flexible loop member (6). Each loop member (6) starts from a point of attachment to the shell member (5) and passes around a rod-shaped element (4) to a second point of attachment. The arrangement is such that the loop members (6) keep the shell member (5) within the outer boundaries of the supporting frame (1-4) at all times, at least if the shell member (5) contains goods to be packaged. According to the invention, a strip-shaped member (7) made from a flexible material is connected with the shell member (5) at the points of attachment. It has a length at least equal to that of a rod-shaped element (4) and a width greater than that of the shell member (5) between two points of attachment. The associated rod-shaped element (4) extends between the loop member (6) and the strip-shaped member (7).
