A collapsible, bulk shipping container that is made up of an inverted tray-type rectangular bottom and a collapsible tubular body, one end of which is telescopically received in the tray-type bottom. The collapsible tubular body is collapsible from a fully open position, in which it is rectangular in configuration and in which it fills the tray-type bottom, into a collapsed condition in which it lies against one side of the tray-type bottom, one side of the collapsible tubular body being secured to one side of the tray-type bottom. When the collapsible tubular body has been collapsed, it can be folded over to lie against the tray-type bottom in a compact configuration for ease of the shipment or storage of the bulk shipping container. The tray-type bottom is preferably formed from a unitary blank of corrugated fiberboard, and the collapsible tubular body is preferably formed from a pair of corrugated fiberboard sheets which are joined to one another in an end to end arrangement.

A collapsible bulk shipping container comprising: a tray-type bottom, said tray-type bottom having: a rectangular bottom panel, said rectangular bottom panel having first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges and first and second opposed, spaced-apart long edges, said first and second opposed
A collapsible bulk shipping container comprising: a tray-type bottom, said tray-type bottom having: a rectangular bottom panel, said rectangular bottom panel having first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges and first and second opposed, spaced-apart long edges, said first and second opposed, spaced-apart long edges extending transversely between said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges; first and second long panel means, one of said first and second long panel means being foldably attached to one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart long edges of said rectangular bottom panel, at least a portion of said one of said first and second long panel means being foldable with respect to said rectangular bottom panel from a first position in which said at least a portion of said one of said first and second long panel means extends generally parallel to said rectangular bottom panel to a second position in which said at least a portion of said one of said first and second long panel means extends generally normally from said rectangular bottom panel, at least a portion of the other of said first and second long panel means being foldably attached to the other of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart long edges of said rectangular bottom panel, said at least a portion of said other of said first and second long panel means being foldable with respect to said rectangular bottom panel from a first position in which said at least a portion of said other of said first and second long panel means extends generally parallel to said rectangular bottom panel to a second position in which said at least a portion of said other of said first and second long panel means extends generally normally from said rectangular bottom panel; first and second short panel means, one of said first and second short panel means being foldably attached to one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel, said one of said first and second short panel means being foldable, with respect to said rectangular bottom panel, from a first position in which said one of said first and second short panel means extends generally parallel to said rectangular bottom panel to a second position in which said one of said first and second short panel means extends generally normally from said rectangular bottom panel, the other of said first and second short panel means being foldably attached to the other of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel; and an intermediate panel, said intermediate panel being directly foldably attached to said one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel, said one of said first and second short panel means being foldably attached to said one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel by being foldably attached to said intermediate panel, said one of said first and second short panel means being foldably attached to said intermediate panel along a fold line which is spaced from and which extends generally parallel to said one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel; and a collapsible tubular structure which is partially telescopically disposed within said tray-type bottom and which is collapsible from a first, open configuration in which said collapsible tubular structure has a generally rectangular configuration to a second, collapsed configuration, said collapsible tubular structure extending generally normally from said rectangular bottom panel of said tray-type bottom when said collapsible tubular structure is in said first, open configuration and in which said collapsible tubular structure, when in said second, collapsed configuration, is foldable with respect to said tray-type bottom to extend generally parallel to said rectangular bottom panel, the space between said fold line of said tray-type bottom and said one of said first and second opposed, spaced-apart short edges of said rectangular bottom panel of said tray-type bottom being substantially at least as great as the thickness of said collapsible tubular structure in its second collapsed configuration so that said collapsible tubular structure when in its second, collapsed configuration, will be contained within the outline of said intermediate panel, said collapsible tubular structure having; first and second opposed short sides, one of said first and second opposed short sides of said collapsible tubular structure being disposed adjacent to, and being substantially coextensive with, one of said first and second short panel means of said tray-type bottom, said one of said first and second opposed short sides being secured to said one of said first and second short panel means of said tray-type bottom, the other of said first and second opposed short sides being disposed adjacent to, and being substantially coextensive with, the other of said first and second short panel means of said tray-type bottom, when said collapsible tubular structure is in said first, open configuration, said other of said first and second opposed short sides being movable away from said other of said first and second short panel means of said tray-type bottom and toward said one of said first and second opposed short sides upon the collapsing of said collapsible tubular structure into said second, collapsed configuration; and first and second opposed long sides, each of said first and second opposed long sides being foldably attached to and extending between each of said first and second opposed short sides, one of said first and second opposed long sides being disposed adjacent to and being substantially coextensive with one of said first and second long panel means of said tray-type bottom when said collapsible tubular structure is in said first, open configuration, the other of said first and second opposed long sides being disposed adjacent to and being substantially coextensive with the other of said first and second long panel means of said tray-type bottom when said collapsible tubular structure is in said first, open configuration, each of said first and second opposed long sides further having vertical fold line means therein to permit said each of said first and second opposed long sides to be folded inwardly about said vertical fold line means toward the other of said first and second opposed long sides upon the collapsing of said collapsible tubular structure into said second, collapsed configuration.
