COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER

The present disclosure relates generally to a collapsible container (10) having a top section (24), a bottom section (26), and a middle section (28) between the top section (24) and the bottom section (26). The top section (24) and the bottom sections (26) can be formed from a rigid material, for example, plastic. The middle section (28) can be formed from a flexible material that can fold over onto itself, allowing the container to collapse for easy and compact storage. The container can further comprise handles (13) rotatably coupled to the top section (24) that, when rotated downward, can releasably couple to handle holds (36) of the bottom section (26), thereby providing rigidity to the container in its expanded configuration to prevent or reduce the occurrence of unintentional collapse. In an upward position, the handles (13) can fit together to create a single carrying point. The handles (13) are also configured to slide into the footprint of the container to allow for compact storage.
