A collapsible container that in the assembled configuration provides for a predetermined central space protected by six walls that are perpendicularly mounted with respect to each abutting wall and in the e collapsed configuration occupies minimum space. A bottom wall is provided with a predetermined umber of hinge knuckles with a central through opening through which pins are passed. Parapets of different heights are provided to raise the knuckles to predetermined heights that will clear the stacked up thickness of the folded walls. The height of the front, rear and the two side lateral walls is determined by the width of the bottom wall which in turn will also determine the width and height of the front and rear walls. A handle is removably mounted to the top wall, protruding toward the exterior.

1. A collapsible container, comprising: A) a rectangular bottom wall with internal and external surfaces and having predetermined first length and first width dimensions with a first peripheral edge that in turn includes first, second, third, and fourth contiguous longitudinal sides, said second side including a perpendicularly and longitudinally extending first parapet of a first predetermined height and said fourth side including a perpendicularly and longitudinally extending second parapet having a second predetermined height;B) rectangular front and rear lateral walls with internal and external surfaces, each having a third predetermined height dimension that is substantially the same, or smaller, as said first length dimension and the width of said front and rear walls having substantially the same dimension of said first width dimension, and said front and rear lateral walls including second and third peripheral edges, respectively, that in turn each includes fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth longitudinal sides wherein said fifth sides of said front and rear walls are hingedly mounted to said first and third sides, respectively;C) rectangular first and second side lateral walls with internal and external surfaces, each of said first and second side lateral walls having a length that is the same, or substantially the same, as said first length dimension, and said first and second side lateral walls including fourth and fifth peripheral edges that in turn each includes ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth longitudinal sides, said ninth longitudinal sides of said first and second side lateral walls being hingedly mounted to said first and second parapets so that the height of said first side lateral wall and said first parapet is substantially the same as said predetermined third height dimension and the height of said second side lateral wall added to said second parapet is substantially the same as said predetermined third height dimension;D) a top wall having the same, or substantially the same, dimensions as said bottom wall, with internal and external surfaces, and further including a sixth peripheral edge that in turn includes thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth longitudinal sides, wherein said fifteenth side includes means for hingedly mounting said fifteenth side to one of said eleventh sides, wherein said means for hingedly mounting said fifteenth side to one of said eleventh sides includes a first plurality of first hinge members each having a coaxially disposed first through hole, said first plurality of first hinge members being mounted to said fifteenth longitudinal side and extending coplanarly therefrom and being spaced apart from each other a predetermined distance, a first plurality of second hinge members each having a coaxially disposed second through hole, said first plurality of second hinge members being mounted to one of said eleventh sides, extending coplanarly therefrom and at a spaces apart relationship with respect to each other, said first plurality of first and second hinge members being cooperatively positioned to coincide with each other, and further including a second plurality of connectors with first and second through openings extending parallel to each other and brought in coaxial alignment with said first and second through holes and further including first and second elongated hinge pins receivable within said first and second though holes and first and second through openings, respectively, so that said top wall can be brought from a perpendicular disposition with respect to said first and second lateral walls to an abutting and parallel disposition to one of said first or second lateral walls to which said top wall is hingedly mounted; andE) means for releasably locking said thirteenth side to the other of said eleventh side so that in a configuration of said collapsible container a space is defined within said top, bottom, front, rear, first, and second lateral walls when perpendicular to each abutting wall and in another configuration said walls are stacked over each other within and in parallel with said bottom wall, wherein said means for releasably holding said thirteenth side to said other of said eleventh sides includes a first plurality of coaxially disposed first lock members, each having a first central through opening, extending from said thirteenth side and a second plurality of cooperating second lock members extending from said other eleventh side, each having a second central through opening brought in cooperative coaxial with said first central through opening, and a third elongated pin having cooperative dimensions to be received within said first and second central through openings. 2. The container set forth in claim 1 wherein said third predetermined height dimension of said front and rear lateral walls is less that one half the length of said first and second lateral walls and said first and second predetermined heights of said first and second parapets is the same. 3. The container set forth in claim 2 wherein at least one of said first and second side lateral walls includes a headed locking pin that extends perpendicularly inwardly from the internal surface of tenth and twelfth sides and cooperating through openings on said sixth and seventh sides of said at least one of said front and rear lateral walls for releasably engaging said headed locking pin thereby keeping said first and second side lateral walls perpendicularly disposed with respect to said front and rear lateral walls. 4. The container set forth in claim 3 further including at least one clip member for releasably engaging at least one of said front and rear lateral walls to said top wall. 5. The container set forth in claim 4 further including a handle member removably mounted to the external surface of said top wall.
