Abstract:

A transport container having a base and a plurality of side walls perpendicularly connected to form a container having an inner cavity. The side walls are formed of first and second wall panels. The first and second wall panels are hingedly connected so that the first or upper wall panels may fold down relative to the second or lower wall panels to collapse the transport container after use. The first and second wall panels are hingedly connected by an elongated flexible hinge. Edge portions of the first wall panels have coupling assemblies that are designed to selectively connect and disconnect adjacent first wall panels.
