Abstract
Abstract A container including parallel opposite sidewalls and parallel opposite end walls disposed at generally right angles relative to the sidewalls. The container includes a partition spaced between and generally paralleling a first pair of the walls and extending between and connected to the other pair of walls for folding with the first pair of walls toward collapsed positions paralleling the latter. Further, an open ended flexible wall container is disposed and supported between the partition and a first wall of the first pair of walls and the portions of the other pair of walls disposed between the partition and first wall.

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
202 words
A container provided with parallel opposite sidewalls and parallel opposite end walls disposed at generally right angles relative to the sidewalls, a partition spaced between and generally paralleling a first pair of said walls and extending between and connected to the other pair of walls, said first pair of walls and partition being secured to the other pair of walls for folding relative thereto toward collapsed positions paralleling the latter, a flexible wall pouch disposed and supported between the partition and a first wall of said first pair of walls and the portions of the other pair of walls extending between the partition and said first wall, said container including closure wall means extending between and supported from one pair of corresponding ends of said side and end walls, said pouch including a closed end adjacent said closure wall means, said closure wall comprising a plurality of folding closure wall flaps supported from said walls and connected together for folding inwardly between said walls when the later are folded toward the collapsed positions, said partition terminating a spaced distance inwardly from said corresponding ends of said side and end walls, whereby to provide clearance for said closure wall flaps when folded inwardly.
