Abstract:
A square knock-down shipping bin comprising:(a) a substantially square base having four substantially equal length base sides; (b) four side elements having a first side portion and a second side portion that are perpendicular to each other meeting at a corner of the bin so as to define portions of two adjacent sides of the bin, said side elements being deployed so that said second side portion of one of said side elements is deployed along the same base side as, and substantially meets, said first side portion of an adjacent one of said side elements, thereby defining four vertical attachment portions configured for engagable locking of said first side portion and said second side portion meeting at said at least one attachment portion; wherein said first side portion and a second side portion, of each of said ones of said side elements, are each of a length less that a length of one of said base sides so as to allow nesting of disassembled ones of said side units within the storage volume of an assembled bin.
