Patent ID: 7255261

Claim:
A storage container comprising: (a) a generally planar base, the base comprising a bottom portion and a pair of base panels foldably connected to the bottom portion, the bottom portion being located between each of the pair of base panels; (b) a pair of opposing end panels foldably connected to the base panels; and (c) a pair of opposing side panels foldably connected to the base panels and the end panels, wherein each of the pair of side panels defines a channel therein, the channel being adapted to slidably receive a first tab at a first end of the channel and a second tab at a second end of the channel, each of the first and second tabs being connected to each of the pair of base panels, wherein each side panel comprises an outer panel foldably connected to an inner panel, wherein the channel is defined between the inner and outer panels, wherein each side panel further comprises two corner panels, wherein each of the corner panels is foldably connected to the inner panel and to the end panel adjacent thereto; wherein the storage container is foldable between a first, a second, and a third position; wherein in the first position, the side panels and the end panels are folded to form a generally planar shape; wherein in the second position, the side panels and the end panels are folded generally perpendicular to the base to form an open container, and wherein in the third position, the base panels, side panels, and end panels are folded to form a closed box.
