Collapsible pallet with side walls hinged to the base by links

摘要

A collapsible container with four side panels (15, 16, 17, 18) all at least semi-permanently connected to a base (10) by links (11, 41) allowing the panels (15, 16, 17, 18) to be moved between an upstanding condition on the base (1) where they are retained by engagement of bottom panel flanges (40) with channels (13, 14) on the base (10) and can be coupled by coupling means (19, 23) releasably secured by securing means (21, 22) to a collapsed condition by folding down the pannels (15, 16, 17, 18) into an overlying relationship. The link means (FIGS. 4-6) allowing the panels to move normally to their plane to disengage the flanges with the channels and then to pivot inwards to a horizontal position.
