Abstract:
1. A foldable carrying case, comprising: an integrated one-piece body having a plurality of panels hingeably connected to each other, and a plurality of flexible gussets hingeably connected to the panels, and a plurality of releasable fasteners; the body convertible from a plane configuration to a container configuration, and vice versa; and the container configuration formed by rotating one or more of the panels relative to at least one other of the panels and folding the corresponding gussets, the panels and gussets being releasably retained in the container configuration by the releasable fasteners to prevent the body from unfolding from the container configuration; wherein the plurality of panels comprises a front panel positioned between and hingeably connected to a pair of opposed side panels, and positioned between and hingeably connected to a bottom panel and a top inner panel, wherein the top inner panel defines a distal edge spaced apart from the front panel; wherein the plurality of flexible gussets comprises a respective flexible gusset extending between the distal edge of the top inner panel and each of the opposed side panels; wherein the top inner panel and the flexible gussets extending between the top inner panel and the opposed side panels are configured to retain the top inner panel and the opposed side panels generally perpendicular to the front panel when the front panel is unfolded from the container configuration.
