Abstract:
A closable collapsible container made with stiff card, cardboard or suitable plastics material, the container having two pairs of side walls intended when erected to form four sides of an enclosed space and two end openings into said space, in which each side wall has projecting from it two flaps each hinged about a line forming an edge of the side wall, in which each of the openings of the container is intended to be securely closed by an inner cooperating pair of the flaps and an outer cooperating lair of the flaps and by two-part separable non-adhesive couplings, in which the inner flaps have on their outer surfaces, near the hinge line, the first parts of the respective couplings, and in which the outer flaps have on their inner surfaces the other parts of the couplings in positions complementary to parts on the inner flaps, whereby the container may be erected and collapsed repeatedly without the use of adhesive tape and in which the coupling parts on the outer surface of each inner flap are positioned closely adjacent to, and parallel with, the hinge line of the respective flap, each pair of outer flaps covers virtually the whole area of the respective opening, without overlap, and the coupling parts on the inner surface of each outer flap are positioned in the corners thereof remote from the respective hinge line.
