An improved collapsible container is provided having a rectangular base and four side walls resting on a peripheral sill of the base. The sill and a floor in the base combined to define a well which receives the side walls when the container is collapsed. The side walls are preferably connected by latches which both interconnect the sides and allow angular movement of one side relative to another side for collapsing the container. The latches also permit two of the sides of the container to have upper parts which can be moved outwardly upon releasing the latches to provide access into sides of the container.

A collapsible container comprising: a rectangular base haviNg four sided peripheral sill and a floor extending between sides of the sill, the floor being recessed below upper extremities of the sill to define a well and an opposed pair of the longer ones of said sill sides defining vertically extending slots facing inwardly of the base; a pair of opposed side walls having vertical rods engaged in respective slots of the pair of sill sides and a respective one of a pair of horizontal rods attached to lower extremities of the respective vertical rods, each horizontal rod being housed within a respective one of the pair of sills to prevent withdrawal of the vertical rods from the pair of sills and to permit both angular movement of the pair of walls and limited translational movement of the walls vertically, said angular and translational movements combining to permit the side walls to enter the well whereby the walls are then in a disassembled condition in the well below the level of upper extremities of the sill; and a pair of end walls releasably coupled to the side walls and adapted to stand on sides of the sill between said pair of sill sides with the container assembled and to fold relative to the side walls for disassembly of the container.
