Abstract
Abstract A steel wire stackable upsettable-wall container is described which comprises a base plane, preferably of rectangular shape, and four upsettable reticular structures, made of steel wire and acting as side walls, rear wall and front wall. The front wall is laterally provided with two vertically movable plates which, as the container is assembled, are raised and engage hook elements located at the sides of the reticular structures. The edges of the three sides of each plate are bent or folded back and engage the steel wires of the front wall reticular structure. Each hook element is inwardly bent and has the upper corner rounded in such a way as to act as a slanted plane for the corresponding plate.
