Abstract:
A device that is reversibly foldable between a compact configuration and a container configuration. The device includes a top, a front panel, a left panel, a rear panel, a right panel, and a bottom. At least first and second support frames are fixed to exterior faces of the left and right panels. In some embodiments, the device includes a plurality of support beams affixed to flaps used form the top and bottom. Optionally, additional support beams are affixed to interior faces of the front and rear panels. The support beams and support frames cooperate to provide strength and support to the device. Devices according to the invention are stackable in both configurations. They are foldable into the compact configuration for shipping and storage, and are preferably made of substantially of corrugated fiberboard material, which makes them reusable and recyclable. Methods of using the devices are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A device that is reversibly foldable between a compact configuration and a container configuration, said device comprising:\n a top; a front panel; a left panel; a rear panel; a right panel; and a bottom; wherein, when the device is in the container configuration, the top and bottom are spaced apart parallel to each other, the front panel and the rear panel are spaced apart parallel to each other, and the left panel and the right panel are spaced apart parallel to each other, thereby cooperating to define a closed containment cavity, wherein a left side of the front panel is connected to a right side of the left panel along a first fold line, wherein a left side of the left panel is connected to a right side of the rear panel along a second fold line, wherein a left side of the rear panel is connected to a right side of the right panel along a third fold line, wherein a left side of the right panel is connected to a right side of the front panel along a fourth fold line, wherein the top comprises a front top flap extending from a top side of the front panel along a fifth fold line and a rear top flap extending from a top side of the rear panel along a sixth fold line, wherein the bottom comprises a front bottom flap extending from a bottom side of the front panel along a seventh fold line and a rear bottom flap extending from a bottom side of the rear panel along an eighth fold line, wherein a first support frame is fixed to an exterior face of the left panel, wherein a second support frame is fixed to an exterior face of the right panel, wherein a first support beam is fixed to an interior face of the front top flap, wherein a second support beam is fixed to an interior face of the rear top flap, wherein a third support beam is fixed to an interior face of the front bottom flap, wherein a fourth support beam is fixed to an interior face of the rear bottom flap, and wherein, when the device is in the container configuration, a first end of the first support beam is adjacent to an interior face of the left panel opposite the first support frame and a second end of the first support beam is adjacent to an interior face of the right panel opposite the second support frame, wherein, when the device is in the container configuration, a first end of the second support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the left panel opposite the first support frame and a second end of the second support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the right panel opposite the second support frame, wherein, when the device is in the container configuration, a first end of the third support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the left panel opposite the first support frame and a second end of the third support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the right panel opposite the second support frame, wherein, when the device is in the container configuration, a first end of the fourth support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the left panel opposite the first support frame and a second end of the fourth support beam is adjacent to the interior face of the right panel opposite the second support frame, and wherein, when the device is in the compact configuration, at least a portion of the front panel is coplanar with one of the left panel and the right panel.
