The present disclosure provides a container with an increased movable range of an upper wall with respect to a side wall. According to the present disclosure provided is a container including a side wall, an upper hinge member, and an upper wall, wherein the upper hinge member and the side wall are connected rotatably around a first rotation axis, the upper hinge member and the upper wall are connected rotatably around a second rotation axis, and the first and second rotation axes are parallel.

A collapsible container having a base, an upper frame, and a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to side edges of the upper frame. Each of the side walls including an upper panel hingeably connected to a lower panel. The lower panel is hingeably connected to the base. A pair of opposed end walls are pivotably connected to end edges of the upper frame. The end walls are pivotable between an upright position extending from the upper frame to the base between the side walls and a retracted position within the upper frame. A lid is pivotably secured to the upper frame. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

A reconfigurable container is disclosed, the container being reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the container defines a receptacle for receiving an item, and a second configuration in which the container comprises a collapsed configuration for storage. The container comprises: a base and a wall which is arranged to extend around the base, the wall comprising at least two hingedly coupled wall portions, the base being hingedly coupled to a lower region of at least one wall portion, the wall further comprising a ledge disposed along a lower region thereof which is arranged to extend inwardly of the container, for supporting the base when the container is configured in the first configuration.

An organizational bin formed from molded foam and capable of being folded flat into a planar configuration for transportation and unfolded to provide a useful volume for use by a consumer. The bin has a base and four walls, all of which are integrally formed and coupled to each other by living hinges. The base includes a series of living hinges extending outwardly from a midpoint. The living hinges are positioned to allow base to fold outwardly relative to with walls pivoting relative to each other so that bin folds into a flat configuration. A flat folded bin will reduce shipping costs by more than five times by reducing the volume bin occupies when shipped and also significantly reduces the carbon footprint of shipping the bin.

An automatically opening box comprising a rectangular base formed from two rectangular panels joined by a foldable spine. A pair of opposed sides extend upwardly from the base at base corners perpendicular to the spine, each having a vertical fold aligned with the spine. A pair of opposed sides extend upwardly from edges of the base at base corners parallel to the spine. Adjacent sides are connected at side corners. At least two side corners include sprung hinges. Both sides of one of the pairs of opposed sides having diagonal folds. The box has a collapsed configuration where both pairs of opposed sides are folded down to be parallel to the base, the base is folded along the spine and vertical folds, and a fastener secures the box in the collapsed configuration, and a deployed configuration where the fastener is released and the sprung hinges deploy the sides and base.

A collapsible container (100) has an unfolded configuration for use of the container and a folded configuration for storage of the container. The container 100 comprises a plurality of panels arranged to form a base (104a); a first side wall (104h) pivotally connected to a first edge of the base (104a) by a first flexible hinge member (108); a second side wall (104b) pivotally connected to a second edge of the base (104a) by a second flexible hinge member (108), the second edge of the base being adjacent to the first edge of the base. In the folded configuration, the first side wall (104h) lies between the base (104a) and the second side wall (104b) and the second flexible hinge member (108) is longer than the first flexible hinge member (108) so as to accommodate the first side wall (104h) between the base (104a) and the second side wall (104b).

Disclosed are various embodiments of a collapsible containment bag configured to retain a collection of hazardous materials. In one embodiment, the containment bag includes a non-porous liner, a plastic sheeting, and a bag frame. The containment bag may be in a collapsed state initially and later expand for use at the site of an environmental spill. The containment bag may be expanded from the collapsed state through a series of actions that may include pivoting a portion of the containment bag about an edge and pulling opposing sides of the containment bag away from the center of the containment bag.

The invention relates to a foldable transport container (10), which can be moved between an unfolded transport position and a folded position, with a base (12), a lid (16), a side wall (14a) carrying the lid (16) and three further side walls (14), wherein the lid (16) is pivotably connected to the supporting side wall (14a) about a pivot axis, characterised in that interlocking or engageable closure means (30) for fixing the transport container (10) in the folded position have corresponding first and second closure elements (32, 34), which are designed to be brought into engagement with one another in the folded position, wherein at least one first closure element (32) is arranged in the region of the lid (16) and at least one second closure element (34) is arranged in the region of a lower base edge (18) of the further side walls (14).

A cargo organizer includes a base, a storage compartment supported by the base and a deployment system for the storage compartment. The storage compartment includes a plurality of wall panels each having a hinged connection with the base and pivotable about its hinged connection between a stowed orientation and an upright orientation. The storage compartment is selectively deployable between a collapsed condition and an open condition. In the collapsed condition, each wall panel is lowered to its stowed orientation while, in the open condition, each wall panel is raised to its upright orientation. In the collapsed condition, the wall panels include an underlying wall panel and two adjacent overlying wall panels in spaced opposition about the underlying wall panel. The deployment system includes a strap system that connects an inboard portion of the underlying wall panel to respective outboard portions of the two adjacent overlying wall panels.

A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.
