Patent ID: 8627973

Claim:
A container, comprising: a container base and at least two sidewalls that are foldable onto the container base, wherein the foldable sidewalls are articulated relative to the base by means of hinges, wherein the hinges comprise a hinge pin which in an upright position of the foldable sidewall is held, within an orifice in the container base that corresponds to the hinge pin, against being pulled out from the orifice, wherein at least one catch lug is provided which unilaterally protrudes from the hinge pin in the direction transverse to the alignment of the hinge pin, wherein the hinge pin is held within the orifice such that, when the sidewall is folded open, the catch lug acts on a wall of the orifice to cause an eccentric movement of the hinge pin in the orifice, wherein the hinge pin, in the folded-open position of the sidewall, is held within the orifice by at least one protrusion formed in the orifice, wherein the catch lug, in the folded-open position of the sidewall, acts on the wall of the orifice thereby fixing the hinge pin within the orifice underneath the protrusion, and wherein the sidewall comprises at least one support which interacts with the base and forms, in the upright position of the sidewall, a mechanical barrier against further folding-open of the sidewall.
