  • Figure 8 shows the folding collapsible storage box of Figure 6 twisted, the vertical peripheral sides of the box body folded up and lowered.
  • Figure 9 shows the folding collapsible storage box of Figure 6 fully collapsed.
  • Figure 10 shows a fourth embodiment of a folding collapsible storage box of the present invention.
  • Figure 10A is an enlarged view of a part of Figure 10.
  • a first embodiment of a folding collapsible storage box of the present invention is generally comprised of a collapsible box body 4 , four horizontal top rod members 1 , two horizontal bottom rod members 2 , and four vertical rod members 3 .
  • the box body 4 is made of strong coarse cloth, for example, canvas, having a bottom wall and four peripheral side walls and a top opening.
  • Two crossed diagonal folding lines 41 are provided at each of the four peripheral side walls of the box body 4 .
