DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1 describes an embodiment of a preferred container 10 according to the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. The body of the container 10 integrally formed of material. It may include an optional outer cover 12 and integrally formed with the container 10. The container 10 may also include a thick part to seal the outer cover 12 and the container 10. However, it should be understood It is that the outer cover 12 is a spare part and the part of the patent application for which the invention is not formed. With reference to Figures 囷 and 囷 2, the container 10 according to the present invention can be repeatedly deformed between the folded state and the assembled state. The container 10 has a first volume related to its folded state. The container 10 also has a paper size related to its assembled state that applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) --- L-- --- 11 ^ ίν — ----- 1 I l · ^ > 11 — — — — — — < Guest read the note on the back before filling out this page) 450923 A7 ______B7___ V. Description of the invention (4) Second volume . The second volume is larger than the first volume. When the contents are used up, the container can be folded in various stages. This provides the benefit of requiring less storage space and removing oxygen from the container 10 if the perishable content is stored therein. The second volume is preferably at least 50 percent less than the first volume. Filling the container 10 with water in the folded and assembled state can obtain its volume. "The container 10 according to the present invention can be quite small, so that when the container 10 is in the assembled state, the container 10 can be stored in people's pockets. Or inside your wallet. This container 10 can be used to store pills, capsules and the like. Alternatively, the container 10 may be so large that it is designed to fit into a flat bed semi-trolley. This container 10 may be used to carry structural materials, etc. β One intended use of the container 10 is storage Perishable items, such as food. The container 10 includes a bottom plate 22 and a side wall 20 protruding from the bottom plate 22. In use, the side wall 20 preferably protrudes upward and terminates at-forming the mouth 26 or the distal end of the opening of the container 10. The illustrated embodiment has four side walls 20. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited by Limited to this. The length of the side wall 20 taken parallel to the bottom flat plate 22 is greater than the height taken from the folding direction. The outer cover 12 may be generally flat as shown, or may have a convex inward or convex as desired. Outbound orientation. For some embodiments, it is preferred that the outer cover 12 is generally flat so that the container 10 is stackable. The bottom plate 22 is defined and located on the first plane β. For the illustrated embodiment, the bottom plate 2 is defined by the vertices at the four corners of the upright side wall 20; ^ The bottom plate 22 may protrude inwardly in a hemispherical shape. In order to increase the strength as known in the art, the paper size applies the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) A7 45 092 3 B7 5. Description of the invention (s). The hemispherical bottom pan 22 provides increased load strength in particular in a direction orthogonal to the bottom pan 22 by the contents of the container 10. Alternatively, when the container 10 is docked on a horizontal surface, the bottom flat plate 22 may be placed protruding outward, although this may reduce its stability. It should be understood and noted that the underlying pan 22 may be hemispherical as known in the art, but still defines a plane. The illustrated side wall 20 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom flat plate 22 and projects outward from the bottom flat plate 22. It should be understood that the side wall 20 is known and can be utilized in accordance with the present invention. The side wall 20 projects outward in a non-vertical orientation, such as a divergent orientation, to provide a top of the container 10 over the bottom pan 22 Larger section. At least the upright side wall 20 has a pivot axis 30 therein. It should be understood that each upright side wall 20 may be provided with a pivot axis 30 as shown, as shown in a preferred embodiment. The pivot axis 30 is, in a preferred embodiment, substantially orthogonal to the direction of folding and assembly of the container 10, and may thus be substantially parallel to the plane of the bottom plate 22. Another option is that if the pivot axis 30 is not parallel to the plane of the bottom flat plate 22, the side wall 20 will be folded into a triangular shape to increase the height of the container 10 when it is in the folded state. If we were expecting a starch or paste-like product to be dispensed from the opposite side wall 20 of the container 10, we might want to fold the container 10 into a triangular structure. For this embodiment, the opening 26 of the container 10 can be placed in the side wall 20. More particularly, the container 10 can be assembled and folded in a direction having a vector component that is perpendicular to, and preferably completely perpendicular to, the plane of the bottom flat plate 22. The deformation of the container 10 from the assembled state to the folded state is in response to the compression force. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese standard < CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 cm). —! | Order --------- VIV (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Printed by the Employees ’Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4S0923 Printed by the Shell ’s Consumers’ Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs System A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (), the force has a vector component parallel to, and preferably completely parallel to, the folding direction. Similarly, the container 10 can respond to a direction from the folded state to the assembled state. The applied tensile force occurs in a direction that has a vector component that is parallel to, and preferably completely parallel to, the folding direction, but has an opposite meaning β, as shown in Figure 3-4, on at least one side wall 20, and the pivot axis 30, which is preferably in all the side walls 20, or any combination therebetween, is preferably formed in the side wall 20 of the container 10 by providing a thin line. The thin line may be a region of reduced wall thickness or a region of offset material. If the container 10 is formed from a monolithic sheet of polymeric material as described herein, the thin line preferably represents a V-shaped groove. By providing a V-shaped notch for the thin line, the side wall 20 can be inclined and / or biased to engage around the pivot axis 30 so that the side wall 20 faces inwardly relative to the center of the container 10 and the main male Or in the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3-4, the opposite side walls 20 are folded in the same configuration. The front and rear side walls 20 are engaged in the illustrated embodiment so that the wall faces outward and away from the container 10. In contrast, the opposing side walls 20 forming the left and right ends of the container 10 are joined to the center of the container 10 and folded inward. In this configuration, the opposing side walls 20 are symmetrically engaged around the first pair of pivot axes 30 during folding and assembly. Furthermore, each side wall 20 is folded in a direction opposite to the adjacent side wall 20 . This configuration provides the benefit that the side wall 20 has the largest size, that is, a dimension parallel to the long axis, which is folded outward so that the side wall 20 will not occupy the volume of the container 10 when it is in the assembled state. Another option is that both the side walls 20 can be folded in the same direction, that is, the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) is applied toward the paper size. -1 L l · ------- · Install --- 丨 丨 1 丨 Order- < Please read Note 4 on the back before filling this page) \ tT ·.

The benefit provided by this configuration is that when all the side walls 20 are folded inward, the container 10 has a smaller footprint in the folded state. Furthermore, the container 10 can be stacked more easily in this folded state. Each pivot axis 30 in the side wall 20 is preferably placed so as to be at the same distance from the bottom flat plate 22 as the other pivot lines 30. This enables the container 10 to be folded in the smallest size. Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the pivot line 30 and / or the gusset 32 should be placed so that there is approximately an equal amount of material on each side of the draw line 30. Each pivot axis 30 does not need to be placed away from the underlying pan 22 at the same distance as the other pivot axis 30 placed on the other side wall 20 of the container 10. However, what I really want is to make the pivot axis 30 present Consecutive results continue to adjoin the side wall 20. The position of the pivot axis 30 in the side wall 20 determines the height of the container 10 in the folded state. If desired, the pivot axis 30 need not be centered on the side wall 20 to accommodate any deviation of the side wall 20 from the vertical plane and any radius of the junction between the side wall 20 and the underlying flat plate 22. The pivot axis 30 divides its individual side wall 20 into two parts that are articulated around the pivot line 30. For the embodiment shown with a horizontal pivot axis 30, the individual side walls 20 are divided into articulated upper and lower portions. Alternatively, the pivot axis 30 may be positioned vertically so that the individual side walls 20 are divided into left and right side portions that are connected in a joint. Although this configuration is not folded to a small volume as shown, it provides the benefit of increased stiffness in this vertical direction. Either configuration provides a container 10 with a sufficiently rigid side wall 20 to cause the container 10 to stand on its own. By standing on its own, the container 10 is able to maintain an assembly state against its own weight and gravity. The configuration provides the container 10 for easier loading and unloading. -10- This paper size is applicable to the Chinese family standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (please read the note on the back before filling in this page) -·-^ Ίν— -------— subscription --- α. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 45 092 3 A7 B7 V. Benefits of the contents of the invention description (8). The container 10 is preferably deformable and conformable under the force exerted by ordinary hands. Alternatively, in a non-preferred embodiment, one or more of the wall surfaces may include a soft material. A fluffy material is one that is not considered to support its own weight in a vertical plane and is capable of engaging or folding without a predetermined pivot axis 30. Suitable materials for use in a soft sidewall 20 include a low density polyethylene having a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm or a polypropylene having a thickness of 0.01 to 0.05 mm. The benefits of the soft side wall 20 include the use of thinner and cheaper materials, and easier handling of β. Furthermore, the side wall 20 is known as a gusset 32 in the art. The gusset 32 further assists the container 10 in smooth, consistent and controlled folding and assembly. It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the pivot axis 30 appears at the apex of the gusset 32, which is positioned approximately perpendicular to the plane of the bottom pan 22. The side wall 20 of the container 10 Defined by the two endpoints and have the same scope as the two endpoints. Each end of the side wall 20 has two pairs of diagonally opposite corners. Although it is intended to use triangular and quadrilateral sidewalls 20, the sidewalls 20 are shown as rectangular, as well as octagonal and other polygonal sidewalls. The gusset 32 includes a fold line. The fold line extends from one end of the side wall 20 toward the pivot axis and intercepts the pivot axis 30 at the vertex. Each end of the side wall 20 preferably has a gusset 32 in which the fold line is provided so that both ends of the side wall 20 can be folded uniformly. Otherwise, the container 10 will be folded into a triangular structure and present a larger storage space in the folded state. The fold line of the corner gusset plate 32 will not diagonally cut the opposite corners of the side wall 20, • 11-This paper size applies to Chinese national standards (CNS > A4 size (210 X 297 public love) (Unexpected matters, please fill out this page)

Conjunction materials discovered in accordance with the present invention include 10 mil (0.25 mm) low density polyethylene films that are commercially available from Chevron under the trade name PE1122 and are available from Fina The manufacturer's name EOD96-28 is 20 mils (0.5 mm) thick with polypropylene. Further suitable materials include polyethylene / polypropylene blends, and one with polypropylene β wood and metal for larger sizes. Container 10. Referring to FIG. 5, the container 10 may be provided with a reinforcing structure 40 if desired. In particular, the reinforcing structure 40 may include a pillar 42 supporting one or more assembled side walls 20 = the pillar 42 may be used to support a self-supporting articulated side wall 20, a soft side wall 20, or a combination thereof " The reinforcing structure 40 can provide a bottom plate 22 support. The bottom layer-12- This paper is suitable for a family of standards (CNS > A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) --------- installed -------- order -------- ---- {Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page> Printed by Shelley Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 45092 3 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (1t)) 22 flat pans are partially extended, And preferably across the length completely, and optionally across the width of the underlying pan 22. If the underlying pan 22 has an aspect ratio greater than one, the supporting of the underlying pan 22 preferably extends throughout the long axis and extends over The long drawing direction. Furthermore, the pillar 42 may be articulated so that it can be added to and removed from the side wall 20 if desired. The pillar 42 is preferably tied around a proximal end It is articulated, the proximal end is juxtaposed with the bottom plate 22, and the distal end of the strut 42 may be connected to the side wall 20, the flange around the opening 10 of the container 10, or anything near the top or opening of the container 10. Engaged in other positions, this position is convenient and provides structural support to prevent the container 10 from folding in the folding direction. Thus, the pillar 42 Fortunately, a reinforcing structure 40 is provided in the individual side wall 20 in a direction generally perpendicular to the pivot axis 30. If desired, the strut 42 and the bottom plate 22 can include a whole and complete material object as shown This configuration provides a reinforced structure 40 collectively containing one or more pillars 42 and a bottom pan 22. The collective, opposing pillars 42 and an integral bottom pan 22 support can hold the container 10 tightly to provide increased This configuration provides the benefit that the reinforced structure 40 can be made as a single element. Furthermore, the attachment of the overall reinforced structure 40 to the container 10 is simplified. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the bottom flat plate 22 supports Can be bonded to the bottom of the container 10 bottom pan 22. The bonding of the reinforced structure 40 to the container 10 can be accomplished using any suitable method, such as heat sealing, ultrasonic welding, adhesives, etc. Suitable materials for the reinforced structure 40 Contains double-sided or single-sided wrinkled, polymeric materials-13- This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 cm) (锖 Please read the $$ on the back side before filling out this page) Order- --- Q.
