Each side wall of the first pair has one vertical edge hingedly connected with the adjacent vertical edge of the respective side wall of the second pair while at the other vertical edge it is provided with connecting portions which project inwardly a distance corresponding to the combined thickness of the side wall and the bottom are hingedly connected to the respective side wall of the second pair at a distance from the vertical edge corresponding to the projection of the connecting portions. The hinged connections comprise pivot pins on one member and U-shaped bearing eyes on the other member which snap over the pivot pins in assembling the case.
Collapsible and stackable plastic transport case comprising first and second pairs of like side walls, hinge means comprising a series of hinges hingedly connecting said side walls together at the corner of the case and a bottom hingedly connected with the lower edge of one of said side walls and foldable against the inner side of one side wall when said case is collapsed, each of the side walls of said first pair having one vertical edge hingedly connected by said hinge means with the adjacent vertical edge of a respective side wall of said second pair and having at the opposite vertical edge a connecting portion which projects inwardly a distance corresponding to the combined thickness of a side wall and the thickness of said bottom, said connecting portions being at diagonally opposite corners of said case and being connected by said hinge means with respective side walls of said second pair at a distance from the vertical edges thereof corresponding to the projection of said connecting portions to provide overhanging edge portions which extend beyond said hinge means and cover said connecting portions when the case is in set-up condition.
