Collapsible plastic container

Collapsible plastic container having a base (1) and a plurality of walls which are each connected to the base (1), via at least one hinge (4), such that they can be swung into a position which is at least approximately parallel to said base, the hinge (4), on the one hand, comprising a hinge housing (5) with at least one push-in section (8) and an end section (10), following one after the other in a push-in direction and separated by a gap (9), and with a passage (11) which, as seen in the push-in direction, passes through the entire push-in section (8) and at least part of the end section (10), and, on the other hand, comprising a hinge pin (7) which is mounted rotatably in the passage (11) so as to overlap with the end section (10) and the push-in section (8), characterized in that

• in the region of the push-in section (8), the passage (11) is open at the sides as a result of a push-in slot (12) extending over the entire length of said push-in section,
• in the region of the gap (9), the hinge pin (7) is retained laterally by a retaining finger (6),
• the retaining finger (6) having, at its end which is directed towards the push-in section (8), a locking surface (13) which is wider than that end of the push-in slot (12) which adjoins the gap (9), but can be pushed through the push-in slot (12), with the push-in section (8) being deformed elastically in the process.
