A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.

A folding container mainly includes a lower base, a front plate, two opposite side plates, an upper cover, and a back plate. The folding container can be extended in use for mounting objects therein or folded for storage while not in use. During extension or folding, touch fasteners are used for fastening and fixing firmly. Thereby the folding container is not only lighter in total weight and able to be folded into a compact form while not in use, but also providing accurate positioning to keep itself from extending freely during folding process. Therefore, the folding container is more convenient to use and more practical in use.

The present invention relates to storage and display device comprising a base wall and a side wall that are connected together and operable to move between a folded and an expanded configuration, the expanded configuration defining an interior region for the storage of product between the side wall and the base wall, and the side wall and the base wall are arranged to provide a top opening and a side opening to the interior region. The device comprises at least one locking arm arrangement comprising a pair of connected locking arms each having a side wall engaging locking surface and together operable to move between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration in the expanded configuration of the device. The locking arm arrangement strengthens and provides considerable stability and rigidity to the device in the expanded configuration by preventing sideways movement or wobble of the side wall when of the device in the expanded configuration. The present invention provides a re-usable storage and display device for the transport and display of product, such as in a retail environment.

A foldable package includes a box defining a stowage volume, the box having a bottom and a peripheral rim including: a first panel; a second panel opposite to the first panel; a third panel; a fourth panel opposite to the third panel. The box is able to adopt: a stowage configuration in which each panel extends substantially parallel to the bottom; and an operating configuration in which each panel, of the second panel, of the third panel and of the fourth panel extends substantially perpendicular to the bottom. The package further includes a mechanism for returning the first panel and the second panel into the operating position, tending to make them pass from their stowage position to their operating position in the inactive position of the locking mechanism.

An open container, in particular a plastic container, for transporting and displaying goods. The open container has a bottom, a rear wall protruding from the bottom, two opposite side walls protruding from the bottom, and a front wall provided with a cutout or a completely open end side. The open container can be mated with a further, identical container turned upside down to form a closed container. The side walls have side wall portions that may be trapezoidal or crenellated. The side wall portions are offset to each other laterally or in the transverse direction of the wall and overlap with corresponding side wall portions of the identical, upside-down container, preferably over the entire height of the side wall portions, and are fitted together.

A collapsible crate includes a structural base and at least one collapsible corner post assembly coupled to the base. The corner post assembly includes supports configured to provide lateral protection to a payload in the crate. The corner post assembly is moveable between an upright position and a collapsed position. The crate can further be stackable and/or returnable.

A cooler includes a main body which includes a base, an upper rim, and one or more cooler walls extending therebetween. The cooler in some embodiments further includes a removable wheel assembly which includes two coaxial wheels, and an axle. The two coaxial wheels are removably securable to the axle. The cooler still further comprises a wheel fastening system configured to secure the removable wheel assembly to the base of the main body which includes a mount, a clip hingedly connected to the mount, and a locking clasp configured to lock the clip into a closed position to secure the wheel assembly. The cooler yet further comprises a lid including two wheel storage recesses, each being sized and dimensioned to receive and retain one of the coaxial wheel of the wheel assembly, and an axle storage recess sized and dimensioned to receive and retain the axle of the wheel assembly.

A foldable container comprises a base and two pairs of side plates. The side plates are mounted on the base by means of a hinge mechanism in manner of being foldable relative to the base. The hinge mechanism is provided with an elastic reset structure, thereby the hinge structure on the side plates moves downwards synchronously in the courses that the side plates overturn from a folding state to an upright state. The hinge structure solves the problem of delay in the falling of a hinge in the prior art, is well adapted to the operation habits of various users, and is simple in structure and skillful in the concept.

A light weight container (1) comprising a base (3), four sidewalls (2) and four corner portions, characterized in that the corner portions are so arranged as to allow flexibility between the sidewalk (2) so that an upper opening area of the container (1) can be made smaller by forcing the sidewalls (2) towards each other (compression) and larger by forcing the sidewalk (2) apart (expansion). The invention also relates to a process for the manufacturing of a container (1).

A box includes a floor and at least two pairs of opposing sidewalls extending upwards from the floor in the vertical direction. The sidewalls are arranged foldably with respect to the floor and may be locked with each other in their upfolded position. At least one of the sidewalls includes an unlocking mechanism which is movable between a rest position and an unlocking position in which the locking of the sidewalls is undone. The unlocking mechanism includes at least one pretensioning element which pretensions the unlocking mechanism into its rest position and includes a first end connected to the unlocking mechanism or the sidewall and a second, free end.
