Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers used in the shipping industry to transport various products. Specifically, the present invention relates to shipping containers that are easily collapsed and assembled. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As long as companies have shipped products, they have faced the problem of what to do with the shipping container once the product has been received. Once the products are removed from the shipping container, it is typically either discarded or shipped back to the manufacture. When the shipping container is discarded, it not only increases the load on an already overburdened landfill system, but also causes temporary storage and related labor costs.
  • the present invention provides collapsible shipping containers and methods for making the same.
  • the roof of the shipping container is removed, the end walls of the shipping containers are removed and placed on the floor of the container, the side walls are then folded down on top of the end walls, and the roof is placed over the side walls.
  • the collapsed container has one-fourth of the vertical height of the container in its un-collapsed state.
  • the present invention includes collapsible shipping containers having a base with a plurality of structural members, a top with a plurality of structural members, a pair of end walls with each end wall having edge structural members mating with at least one of the top structural members and at least one of the base structural members, with the end walls detachable from the top and the base, and a pair of side walls with each side wall having at least one structural member with the bottom thereof integral with at least one of the base structural members and the top thereof mating with at least one of the top structural members, the side walls detachable from the top and pivotally mounted to the base.
  • the base structural members may include members located at corners of the base.
  • the base may include a floor and sides extending upwardly from the base and perpendicular to the floor.
  • the base structural members can extend upwardly from the base to substantially the same height as the sides.
  • the top structural members can include members located at the corners of the top and the structural members can extend downwardly from the top.
  • the bottom of the top structural members, the bottom of the end wall structural members, and the bottom of the side wall structural members can have a substantially similar diameter.
  • the top of the base structural members, the top of the end wall structural members, and the top of the side wall structural members can have a substantially similar diameter.
  • the present invention also includes methods for collapsing such containers by removing the top, removing the end walls and placing them on the base, pivoting the side walls to a substantially horizontal position overlying the end walls, and placing the top so it rests on the base with the base structural members mating with the top structural members.
  • the present invention includes collapsed shipping containers having a base with a plurality of structural members, a top with a plurality of structural members, a pair of end walls detached from the top and the base, a pair of side walls detached from the top and pivotally mounted to the base, an interior enclosed by the base and top, wherein the top rests on the base with the base structural members mating with the top structural members and the end walls and side walls located in the interior.
  • the base structural members may include members located at corners of the base.
  • the base may include a floor and sides extending upwardly from the base and perpendicular to the floor.
  • the base structural members can extend upwardly from the base to substantially the same height as the sides.
  • the top structural members can include members located at the corners of the top and the structural members can extend downwardly from the top.
