Abstract

A hollow container or box formed from a roof, a first side (i.e., or first upper and lower sides), a second side (i.e., for second upper and lower sides), a rear side (i.e., or rear upper and lower sides), a door (i.e., or upper and lower door), and a base placing the container or box in a fully assembled position. Unique side and end access doors are provided. Each of the sides are releaseably coupled or hingedly connected to one another and the adjacent sides are hingedly coupled to the base. Upon releasing the sides from one another and rotating each relative to one another in a particular order along various axis rotation, the container or box is transitioned from a fully assembled position into a flat, parallel orientation, fully collapsed position.

Claims (5)

1. A stackable container, comprising: a roof, a plurality of walls, and a base forming a first stackable container in a fully assembled position and defining a hollow center; the roof providing a corrugated shape and having exterior sides; at least one plate fixedly secured along one of the exterior sides, the plate defining four sides and a flat surface between them wherein one entire side of the four sides overlaps the corrugated shape and a portion of two other sides of the four sides and a portion of the flat surface partially overlapping on top of the corrugated shape of the roof, and one side of the four sides overlaps said one of the exterior sides; whereby, the at least one plate prevents damage to the corrugated shape in the first stackable container upon a second stackable container being placed on top of the first stackable container.

2. The stackable container of claim 1 wherein the first stackable container is the same as the second stackable container.

3. The stackable container of claim 1 wherein the exterior sides define opposed longitudinal exterior sides and opposed end exterior sides.

4. The stackable container of claim 3 wherein the at least one plate is fixedly secured along one of the opposed longitudinal exterior sides of the first stackable container.

5. The stackable container of claim 4 wherein an additional plate is fixedly secured along the other of the opposed longitudinal exterior sides of the first stackable container.
