Abstract
A container may be configured to be operable between a collapsed configuration and an erected configuration. The container may include a base that supports a first attachment member. The container may include a roof that supports a second attachment member. The first and second attachment members may be spaced apart from each other when the container is in the erected configuration. The first and second attachment members may be configured to allow the roof to be secured to the base when the container is in the collapsed configuration. A hinge assembly that may be used with the collapsible container may include a pivoting component, an attachment member that supports the pivoting component, and a securement member. The attachment member may cooperate with the securement member to secure the pivoting component in an upright orientation.
