Abstract
A collapsible, disposable body container is disclosed for safely and sanitarily transporting, storing or disposing heavy, dense, fluid-containing contents such as a dead body. The container comprises a container base and a container lid which are foldable for transportation or storage. The container base is lined with a leak-proof, puncture-resistant, high-density polymer liner which prevents contact with or escape of the contents of the container when a user lifts the container via hand grips provided in the container. A container insert is placed over the lining to add strength to the container and to prevent the container from collapsing.
Claims20
A collapsible, disposable body container, comprising:
- a container base moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a container, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration;
- and
- a container lid sized to cover said container base;
- said container base including a double center fold line for folding said container base in half longitudinally in said collapsed position.
A collapsible, disposable body container, comprising:
- a container base moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a container, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration;
- and
- a container lid moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a cover, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration, said container lid in the open position being sized to cover the container base.
A collapsible, disposable body container, comprising:
- a container base moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a container, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration, wherein said container base in the open position has:
- (i) a container base panel
- (ii) at least two length side walls in generally parallel relation extending perpendicularly from said container base panel
- (iii) at least two width side walls in generally parallel relation extending perpendicularly from said container base panel;
- and
- a container lid moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a cover, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration, said container lid in the open position being sized to cover the container base, said container lid having:
- (i) a container lid panel
- (ii) at least two lid length side walls in generally parallel relation extending perpendicularly from said container lid panel;
- and
- (iii) at least two lid width side walls in generally parallel relation extending perpendicularly from said container lid panel;
- and
- an insert member moveable along a plurality of fold lines between an open position defining a container base insert, and a collapsed position defining a generally planar configuration;
- said disposable body container being entirely combustible.
