Abstract
A collapsible container for storing and transporting a liquid having a substantially rectangular base section, two end sections and two opposite side sections pivotally connected to each their respective side of the four sides of the base section, a top section pivotally connected to a side section or an end section, and a liner for storing the liquid. The sections are arranged to pivot in relation to each other between a first position in which they in rows are extending mainly parallel across each other and a second position in which they jointly are defining a chamber for containing the liner. The collapsible container has a locking mechanism to lock the end sections and the side sections together in the second position in such a way that they in this position only can be pivoted in over the base section.

Collapsible container comprising
- a base section;
- two end sections;
- two side sections, wherein the two opposite end sections and the two opposite side sections are pivotally connected to the base section;
- a top section pivotally connected to one of the side sections or one of the end sections;
- a liner, wherein the base, end, side and top sections are arranged to pivot in relation to each other between a first position in which they are extending in substantially parallel rows across each other and a second position in which they jointly are defining a chamber for containing the liner;
- locking mechanism configured and dimensioned to lock the end sections and the side sections together in the second position so that they can only be pivoted in over the base section, wherein at least one of the end sections is constructed as a door section partly consisting of an L-shaped frame connected pivotally about a swivelling axis to the base section;
- and partly at least one door connected pivotally about a second swivelling axis to the L-shaped frame, wherein the L-shaped frame of the door section has a first leg pivotally mounted on the base section and a second leg connected to the door by means of hinges and that at least one first stop is placed on the door section on the second leg of the L-shaped frame and at least one second stop on a lateral edge of the door opposite the second leg.
