folds up
Closes for storage
Folds up means to collapse something into a more compact form by bending it along creases or hinges: She folded up the map and put it in her pocket.
Chairs, tables, and other equipment that fold up are designed for easy storage.
Figuratively, a business or venture that folds up closes down or fails: The restaurant folded up after six months.
A person who folds up under pressure collapses emotionally or gives in.
