The hinged wall 15 forms the door of the container. The hinged wall 16 is providedwith a foraminous sheet of material 32 secured thereto at its edges to form a pocket therewith for the reception of an insecticide material, such as gum camphor, cedar wood shavings, or a pad impregnated with a volatile insecticide material. The sheet 32 being arranged in close relation with the hinged wall 16, permits the collapsing of the container to substantially fiat condition, which is ready for use when expanded to set-up condition.

A collapsible container adapted to be placed on erid to constitute a wardrobe container including oppositely-disposed side walls made of light flexible material, a wall hinged to one of said oppositely-disposed side walls forming the door of the cabinet, a narrow strip of rigid material secured against the inside surface of each of said oppositely-disposed side w from the bottom thereof to a point adjacent the topsubstantially throughout the length of said side walls and to the base 01' the cabinet, and a garment-supporting member mounted on and supported by said strips. 1
3. A collapsible cabinet having four walls made of light flexible material, a strip of rigid material secured to each of two oppositely disposed walls and extending substantially throughout the length of said side walls and to the base of the cabinet, a cross bar supported by said strips of material, and means provided on said cross bar to prevent said strips from bulging outwardly.
4. A collapsible cabinet including a side wall structure of sheet material bendable under lateral pressure, strips of relativelyinfiexible material extending substantially the major portion of and secured in upright relation to the side wall structure to stifien and retain side wall portions thereof against spreading, and a gar ment supporting member supported by said strips.
5. A collapsible container including an upright side wall structure of sheet material bendable spreading, and a garment supporting member supported by said strips.
6. A collapsible cabinet having a plurality of upright side wallsrwith two of the walls oppositely disposed,"a strip of reinforcing material secured on the inner side of eachof said oppositely disposed walls andextending a substantial distance in the middle portion thereof, a removable garment supporting cross bar supported by said strips and means connected with said cross bar cooperating with said strips to retain said oppositely disposed walls against spreading.
