Abstract
Collapsible container (1) for fluent and particulate bulk goods, which container includes a carrying base part (20) which is provided with shock absorbing members (21), collapsible side walls (30) and preferably a lid. The side walls (30) are movably attached to the base part (20) via hinge parts (31). Adjacent side walls (30) are furthermore inter-connectable via a coupling which is angularly flexible around a vertical pivot axle. The lid (50) is mechanically connected with the side walls (30) so that forces can be absorbed in both the vertical and the horizontal plane.
