Abstract
A collapsible container includes a base and a plurality of walls pivotable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. A first wall includes an opening therethrough. A first door selectively covers the opening through the first wall. In one embodiment, the first door is slidable between an open, retracted position away from the opening and a closed position covering the opening.
Claims18
A collapsible container comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of walls including a first wall and a pair of end walls perpendicular to the first wall, the plurality of walls pivotable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base, the first wall including a rail portion below which is partially defined an opening;
- and
- a first door selectively covering the opening through the first wall, the first door slidably mounted to the rail portion and slidable in a first direction from a closed position covering the opening toward an open, retracted position away from the opening, wherein the first door is closer to one of the end walls when in the open position than when in the closed position, wherein the first door moves along an arc from the closed position to the open position, wherein the arc is parallel to the plane of the first wall.
