The present invention concerns a transport container, preferably made of plastic material, especially for vegetables, fruit and the like, with a floorboard ( 2 ) and several, preferably four, collapsible side walls ( 3, 4, 5, 6 ) that are arranged circumferentially on the floorboard ( 2 ) and can be
The present invention concerns a transport container, preferably made of plastic material, especially for vegetables, fruit and the like, with a floorboard ( 2 ) and several, preferably four, collapsible side walls ( 3, 4, 5, 6 ) that are arranged circumferentially on the floorboard ( 2 ) and can be folded down onto it. According to a first aspect of the invention, the floorboard ( 2 ) is provided with an essentially rectangular frame ( 8 ) in which there extends a floor profile ( 9 ) with a smooth surface, said floor profile ( 9 ) being stiffened by the provision of several bulges ( 10 ) that are formed by the curvature of the floor profile ( 9 ) in several space directions. According to a second aspect of the invention, the collapsible side walls ( 3, 4, 5, 6 ) can be fastened to each other in the upright position by means of a fastening mechanism ( 7, 4 ) provided on adjacent side walls ( 3, 5; 3, 6; 5, 4; 5, 6 ) in which a fastening bolt of a fastener arranged on one side wall ( 3, 5 ) can engage with a recess in the adjacent side wall), where the fastener ( 7 ), which is essentially accommodated in the side wall ( 3, 5 ), comprises or operates a displaceable element ( 16 ) that can be displaced against the force of an elastic spring element.

1. A transport container with a floorboard and a plurality of collapsible side walls that are arranged circumferentially on the floorboard and can be folded down onto it, where the collapsible side walls can be fastened to each other in the upright position by means of a fastening mechanism provided on adjacent side walls in which a fastening bolt of the fastening mechanism on one side wall can engage with a recess in the adjacent side wall, characterized in that the fastener comprises a displaceable element that is essentially accommodated in the side wall and can be displaced against the force of an elastic spring element, the elastic spring element contained within the fastening mechanism. 2. The transport container of claim 1, characterized in that the displaceable element can be operated both from the outside and the inside of the side wall. 3. The transport container in accordance with claim 1 characterized in that the fastener is inserted in a cutout in the side wall. 4. The transport container in accordance with claim 1 characterized in that the fastening bolt is preset in the fastened position by the force of the elastic spring element. 5. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the elastic spring element is arranged on the displaceable element, where the displaceable element is connected with the side wall via the elastic spring element. 6. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the fastener also comprises a holder plate that is arranged in a fixed position in the side wall where the said holder plate is connected to the displaceable element via the elastic element. 7. The transport container in accordance with claim 6, characterized in that the holder plate extends only over a part of the displaceable element, ( 16 ) preferably over about two thirds of the displaceable element. 8. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the fasteners terminates substantially flush with the inside or the outside of the side wall. 9. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the fastening bolt is provided with a contact surface and an oblique surface where the contact surface comes to be situated in the recess when in the fastened position, so that the side walls cannot be detached from each other without operating the displaceable element, while the oblique surface makes it possible for the fastening bolt to glide over the adjacent side wall. 10. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the fastener is held in the fastener cutout by notch elements. 11. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the elastic element consists of an essentially S-shaped spring. 12. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the displaceable element is provided either with a gripping means trough on both sides. 13. The transport container in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the displaceable element is designed as a frame body that is essentially rectangular, the width of the said frame body corresponding to the width of the side wall in which the displaceable element is accommodated. 14. The transport container in accordance with claim 9, characterized in that fastener is made as a single piece from plastic material.
