3 claims: 1 independent, 2 dependent

  1. 1
    What I claim is:1. A collapsed container for erecting into a bottomfilling square container having a preclosed top, the container comprising, four circumferentially contiguous rectangular sections of equal width, each section having ends and comprising a side-forming part at one end, an intermediate top-forming part, and a top fastening part at the other end, and on alternate sections, additional integral handle-forming parts adjoining the top fastening parts and having mating finger-receiving apertures, the sections being defined by longitudinal fold lines and the parts of each section being defined by traverse fold lines normal to the longitudinal fold lines, and each alternate section intermediate the sections with handle parts being bisected by a center longitudinal fold line for collapsing these alternate sides between the alternate sides with handle parts, the sections with center longitudinal fold lines also having diagonal fold lines oppositely extending from the intersection of the center fold line and the traverse fold line defining the top part from the top fastening part to the intersections of the longitudinal fold lines defining the section and the traverse fold line defining the top part from the side, a line of releasable stitching through the top fastening parts of the collapsed container, the stitching extending normal to the longitudinal fold lines and closing the top parts of the collapsed container for placing the collapsed container in condition for erection in which the collapsed sides are pressed outward on the respective center longitudinal lines causing the fastened top parts having handles to fold toward the sides about the transverse fold lines defining the top parts from the adjoining parts, and the part without handles to collapse inwardly about the diagonal fold lines, said handles projecting beyond said top fastening parts and said finger-receiving apertures being above said top fastening parts.
