Benefits of technology

[0009]There is also provided a method of folding a collapsible container where the container has a quadrilateral shape with eight interior corners formed by four panels covered by flexible material with each panel each having a tension loop frame. Each panel is also joined to two adjacent side panels to form a ring. Two flexible ends join to opposing ends of the tension loop frames to form an enclosure. Two of the panels form opposing side panels which

Embodiment Construction

[0028]Referring to FIGS. 1-6, a collapsible container 10 is provided having at four panels 12 connected to opposing ends 14 and 16. An opening 18 is formed in one of the panels 12 or ends 14, 16 to allow access to the inside of the container with a releasable cover or lid 20 covering the opening. A releasable fastener 22 such as a zipper releasably fastens the cover 20 to the top 18. Other releasable fasteners can be used, such as toggles, snaps, buttons, hook and loop fasteners, etc.

[0029]Each panel 12 is connected to a tension loop frames 24 (FIG. 9) which holds the side panels 12 taut during use. Typically the loop frames 24 are made of spring metal or made of plastic, and have circular or rectangular cross sections, although various cross-sectional shapes and materials can be used. The loop frames 24 and side panels 12 are preferably, but optionally, generally rectangular in shape, with the long side horizontal. The side panel frames 24 are joined along the long, horizontal side...

Abstract

A collapsible container having four tension-loop panels covered by flexible material with each panel joined to two other panels to form an enclosure with opposing top and bottom panels and two opposing side panels, the container having two flexible ends each located on opposing ends of the frames and attached to a plurality of the frames, the container comprises an opening in the one of the panels and at least one interior pocket having two opposing sides with each side fastened to a flexible side panel or flexible end, the interior pocket having an open top.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 478,327 filed Apr. 22, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Collapsible containers are known having four or more flexible side panels with twist-and-fold frames. The side panels are folded on top of each other and the frames twisted into overlapping coils to form a compact structure for shipping and storage. But folding the frames into overlapping coils creates a stored container that readily springs open. Rubber bands are sometimes used to hold the coiled frames in the collapsed configuration, or the coiled container is fit into a bag that is often sewn to the side of the container as in Pat. No. RE37,924. But the pop-open tendency of such containers remains undesirable. Further, collapsing these containers and twisting them into overlapping coils is difficult for some people. There is thu...
