A self-erecting container which is collapsible into a flat storage position. The container includes a bottom member and a plurality of walls pivotally connected to the bottom member. The container further includes a biasing assembly for biasing the wall members in an erected position, for permitting the wall members to be moved to a collapsed position from the erected position by a bias overcoming force exerted on the wall members, and for drawing the wall members from the collapsed position to the erected position when the bias overcoming force is removed from the wall members.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A collapsible, self-erecting container comprising:a bottom member;a plurality of wall members each pivotally connected to the bottom member and each having a longitudinal edge separated from an adjacent wall member such that the wall members are movable between an erected position wherein the wall members extend from the bottom member so as to cooperate with the bottom member to form an object receiving space and a collapsed position wherein each wall member is folded downward into a substantially flattened condition relative to the bottom member;resilient biasing means for biasing the wall members in the erected position, for permitting the wall members to be moved to the collapsed position from the erected position by a bias overcoming force exerted on the wall members, and for drawing the wall members from the collapsed position to the erected position when the bias overcoming force is removed from the wall members; anda foldable member extending between each adjacent pair of wall members so as to substantially cover the space between the adjacent wall members when the wall members are in the erected position and when the wall members are moved to the collapsed position.
