A hinge assembly is disclosed between two walls sections of a container which are pivotable relative to one another, with a hinge pin provided at a first wall section and a hinge pin attachment provided at a second wall section, the hinge pin fitting positively in the hinge pin attachment and being rotationally and translationally movable in such a way as to allow a parallel shift of the rotational axis of the hinge pin. A pair of guide contours are provided on the wall sections, in contact with one another and formed separately from the hinge pin and hinge pin attachment to define a simultaneous rotational and translational movement of the hinge pin in the hinge pin attachment.

1. A hinge assembly between two wall sections of a container which are pivotable relative to one another, the hinge assembly comprising: a hinge pin provided at a first wall section, the hinge pin having a rotational axis;a hinge pin attachment provided at a second wall section, the hinge pin fitting positively in the hinge pin attachment and being rotationally and translationally movable to allow a parallel shift of the rotational axis of the hinge pin; anda pair of guide contours provided on the wall sections, in contact with one another and formed separately from the hinge pin and the hinge pin attachment to define simultaneous rotational and translational movement of the hinge pin in the hinge pin attachment;wherein the pair of guide contours comprises a rounded guide protrusion formed on the first wall section, and a guide groove configured on the second wall section, in which the guide protrusion engages and glides along a guide contour formed at a bottom of the guide groove;and wherein the pair of guide contours is configured such that, when the wall sections are pivoted from an open position to a closed position, the rotational axis of the hinge pin initially moves away from a starting position and then moves back into the starting position. 2. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the wall sections can be moved from the open position in which the first wall section and the second wall section are oriented vertically to one another, into the closed position, in which the first wall section and the second wall section are oriented parallel to one another. 3. The hinge assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first wall section is a side wall of the container and the second wall section is a base of the container. 4. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the hinge pin in the hinge pin attachment is translationally movable obliquely to a wall plane of the second wall section. 5. The hinge assembly according to claim 4, wherein the hinge pin in the hinge pin attachment is translationally moveable obliquely in a direction angle range of 35° to 55° to the wall plane towards an inner side of the container. 6. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the guide protrusion and the guide groove create an axial form fit between the two wall sections. 7. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the guide protrusion has the shape of a semicircle or a circular cylinder segment. 8. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the rounded guide protrusion is formed on the first wall section in a single piece. 9. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the guide contour configured at the second wall section has a profile of a rounded curve path superimposed with a wave or a ramp. 10. The hinge assembly according to claim 1, wherein the hinge pin and the hinge pin attachment comprise opposing surfaces that contact one another to prevent translational movement of the hinge pin relative to the hinge pin attachment in the plane of the first wall when the wall sections are in the open position, but allow movement of the hinge pin relative to the hinge pin attachment inside the hinge pin attachment in directions that are oblique or vertical relative to the plane of the first wall when the walls sections are in the open position. 11. The hinge assembly according to claim 10, wherein cross-section shapes of the hinge pin and the hinge pin attachment do not permit rotational freedom in the wall plane in the open position without previous translational shifting of the rotational axis. 12. A container comprising: at least a first wall section and a second wall section, which are pivotable relative to one another a hinge assembly comprising:a hinge pin provided at the first wall section, the hinge pin having a rotational axis;a hinge pin attachment provided at the second wall section, the hinge pin fitting positively in the hinge pin attachment and being rotationally and translationally movable to allow a parallel shift of the rotational axis of the hinge pin; anda pair of guide contours provided on the wall sections, in contact with one another and formed separately from the hinge pin and the hinge pin attachment to define simultaneous rotational and translational movement of the hinge pin in the hinge pin attachment;wherein the pair of guide contours comprises a rounded guide protrusion formed on the first wall section, and a guide groove configured on the second wall section, in which the guide protrusion engages and glides along a guide contour formed at a bottom of the guide groove;and wherein the pair of guide contours is configured such that, when the wall sections are pivoted from an open position to a closed position, the rotational axis of the hinge pin initially moves away from a starting position and then moves back into the starting position. 13. The container according to claim 12, wherein, when positioned in the open position, the two wall sections are aligned with each other and lie vertically on top of one another with the first wall section positioned on top of the second wall section and the pair of guide contours is configured such that the first wall section remains in the open position by itself due to a gravitational weight force being applied to it, and wherein the pair of guide contours and the hinge pin attachment are configured such that, in order to move the first wall section to the closed position, the first wall section must be raised against the weight force due. 14. The container according to claim 13, wherein the upper wall section is raised inward and upward to close the upper wall section.
