Description

The invention relates to a container for containers with chemicals, in particular a combined multifunctional protection and / or Transport container, in detail with the features from the generic term of claim 1.

In the field of research and development, especially laboratory and But also for test purposes in many other areas of application are often only very small amounts of chemicals in the form of Liquids, especially solutions or dispersions, as a gel or in solid form, for example powder or granules, is required, under Chemical each chemical element and the possible compounds between them is understood. With chemicals it can happen according to their properties (caustic, toxic) with regard to the Endangering individuals and the environment around harmless, less dangerous Trade substances or hazardous substances. The reference quantities are in generally very small, so this consists of a larger unit must be pre-assembled, filled or packaged. this happens as a rule, in standardized containers, which according to Art the chemical to be transported in terms of quality, Properties and labeling of the legal provisions must correspond. These are standardized according to international standards Containers are also called standard containers. These are for example in the form of glass containers, which with appropriate Coatings are provided, plastic containers, with here between essentially stable or changeable in shape A distinction is made between plastic containers. These containers are reclosable, that means a withdrawal of small quantities with further storage of the remaining amount is possible. In addition to the Avoidance of unwanted chemical leakage from the mentioned containers in particular the storage, storage as well as the transport and handling of such containers significant problem, especially when it comes to hazardous substances, For example, toxic and harmful to the health of Chemicals that affect individuals. It is already with Pre-assembly in a container minimizes unwanted leakage Residual quantities cannot be ruled out, especially if they are not exact Supply of the chemical remains in the area of the closure, which are released into the environment after the container has been closed and depending on the type of chemical an odor nuisance or however, a reaction to other substances has a harmful effect on Individuals who bring about the environment or objects in the environment can and can also damage the closure of the container. This also applies to the removal of small quantities and reclosure of the Container.

Another major problem is the transportation of such Containers, especially the precautions to be taken Destruction of such a container. Currently, the Containers introduced in over containers in the form of sheet metal containers, wherein the space between the container and the The inner wall of the tin can is filled with polystyrene and the tin can is closed with a lid by welding. With this kind of Packaging is possible in addition to security against that uncontrolled leakage of chemicals in the event of breakage or damage of the container from this into the environment by taking the escaping chemical through the overtank to the requirements optimal storage with regard to stackability and transport due to the cushioning properties of the container become. However, the overtank is not after opening reclosable and usually dispose of as the opening such tin cans either only with specially provided means can be done to be a blunt in terms of occupational safety To be able to produce the cutting edge or the outer container immediately after disposed of after opening. Another major problem is that especially with very large standard containers for large quantities or several liters an opening of such a container only with correspondingly high effort or a special tool possible is.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a container type mentioned in such a way to further develop that one in addition to the storage and transport properties of avoiding Hazards and unpleasant smells from the container escaping chemicals and further use as a protective container is also suitable after opening the excess container. The The solution according to the invention is intended to be of a low design and manufacturing costs should be characterized and if possible universal to different application requirements for any kind of Containers with any pre-assembled chemicals can be used. Another aspect is the easy handling of the Excess container by the transport and warehouse personnel respectively the end user.

The solution according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 1 characterized. Advantageous configurations are in the subclaims described.

The excess container for containers with chemicals, especially the combined multifunctional protective and / or transport containers a receiving part and a lid, the receiving part by means of Lid forming an interior for receiving the container is tight, in particular gas and liquid-tight and releasably closable. The lid has at least one area less External dimensions, in particular circumferential dimensions, on which forms an attack surface for manual opening and the means for easier handling or increased grip are assigned.

The containers serve as packaging for pre-assembled quantities Chemicals which are filled into the container. Chemicals are any substance or any chemical element as well as those formed from it Understood connections. The chemical can be in liquid or solid form or a dispersion, for example as a gel or paste available. Solvents, concentrates and bases can be used as the liquid or others act. Solid chemicals can be powdered, Granules or the like are present.

The solution according to the invention makes it possible, in addition to an optimal one Warehousing and easy transport to the over container open once as a protective container for the container. This can be completely sealed again after opening be, so that also when handling, for example, during withdrawals for experimental purposes, possibly leaked into the overtank Quantities of chemicals do not get outside the container, which, depending on the type of substance, leads to a considerable reduction in risk leads, as a tight encapsulation of the Chemical container takes place. Any chemicals leaked are caught safely, odor nuisance is avoided. The Design of the lid further enables that here easier handling even larger containers is possible because only low forces are applied by the people opening the container must be, the receiving part with the lid just as light can be closed again.

The specific design of the container in terms of its Geometry, in particular the cross-sectional geometry of the Outside dimensions and inside dimensions, can be varied respectively. Circular, angular or oval cross sections are conceivable. However, a cross-sectional geometry for the overtank is preferred selected which is suitable for space-saving storage. This is given in particular with circular or square containers.

With regard to the choice of material for the outer container, there are generally none Restrictions are provided, however certain may apply Functions of the container, for example the full Odor absorption or the suitability as a transport container (stackability, Damping of shocks) only with materials of certain properties be fulfilled. Preferably, containers made of one material are very popular low elasticity, especially plastic or metal use. The specific design of the connection between the cover and the receiving part for tight closure depends on the selection of a certain material from the manufacturing possibilities from.

• a) die Strukturierung der Oberfläche, beispielsweise Noppen
• b) Vorsprünge, beispielsweise rippenartige Stege mit Erstreckung quer zur Richtung der Betätigung beim Lösen des Deckels vom Aufnahmeteil
• c) Nuten oder Griffmulden

erzielt werden. Insbesondere bei Schraubverbindungen zwischen Deckel und Aufnahmeteil werden die Vorsprünge in Umfangsrichtung mit Ausrichtung in vertikaler Richtung ausgeführt. The means for improving the manageability and thus the actuation of the lid to increase the security against undesired slipping, especially when using the container as a reclosable protective container or when actuated for the first time, are designed such that an uneven, ie rough surface of the surface of attack is created. An increase in the roughness of the surface can be caused by

• a) the structuring of the surface, for example pimples
• b) projections, for example rib-like webs with an extension transverse to the direction of actuation when the cover is detached from the receiving part
• c) Grooves or recessed grips

be achieved. In the case of screw connections between the cover and the receiving part in particular, the projections are carried out in the circumferential direction with alignment in the vertical direction.

• a) als separate Dichteinrichtung vorliegt oder
• b) von den einzelnen Elementen - Aufnahmeteil oder Deckel - mit gebildet wird.

With regard to the tight seal between the cover and the receiving part, a sealing device is provided, which

• a) is present as a separate sealing device or
• b) is formed by the individual elements - receiving part or lid.

In the former case, the sealing device includes, for example Sealing ring or a sealing washer. This is depending on the type of coupling two elements - receiving part and cover - in at least one guide on one element - cover or receiving part - or without a guide arranged between the cover and the receiving part.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the sealing device as integral part of one of the two elements - cover and / or Receiving part - the container is preferably made of plastic. The seal is designed as a sealing lip, which on the inner circumference of the lid or the receiving part is arranged and in the coupled Condition on the other element - receiving part or cover - for Concern comes so that here a seal between the two Elements is generated. The specific arrangement of the seal depends on it also on the design of the coupling of the two elements - Receiving part and lid - from. It is crucial that a touching There is a seal between the cover and the receiving part. You can also the sealing surfaces are formed directly by the cover and the receiving part, for this purpose both to the facing end faces are flange-shaped and the end faces facing each other each form the sealing surfaces. Both Versions of this integral design offer the advantage that the Effort for packaging or repackaging the container in the Over-container is very small, because here the acting staff does not open the orientation and position of the sealing device must be observed.

• a) einteilig mit dem Aufnahmeteil ausgeführt oder
• b) von separaten Elementen gebildet werden.

In a further aspect of the invention, the dimensions of the interior of the overcontainer are such that the position of the container can be fixed, so that no or only slight relative movements between the container and the inner wall of the overcontainer are possible in order to reduce the damping property of the overcontainer in the event of a shock To be able to make optimal use of stress. For this purpose, a spacer device comprising at least one so-called spacer element is provided, which according to a particularly advantageous embodiment is designed to be elastic in the direction of the inner container wall. These can either

• a) made in one piece with the receiving part or
• b) are formed by separate elements.

The distance device takes over the task of fixing the Container in the horizontal direction in the functional position of the Considered container, which preferably has a low elasticity has tolerances between standard containers of the same size to compensate or to adapt to specific containers. For Designs of over-containers for standard containers, for example Standard bottles or plastic containers according to the DIN standard is a special one simple solution characterized in that the distance device made in one piece with the receiving part and on the inner wall is arranged. This includes spacer elements, which are preferably in Form of ribs that run in the normal way Functional situation of the container, which is determined by the status of the Over container is characterized in the vertical direction, d. H. at an angle extend to the bottom of the receiving part, preferably perpendicular to it and preferably distributed evenly over the inner circumference Distances are arranged. The ribs can either with a very small cross-sectional area or towards the inside of the Receiving part are tapered, so that a Elasticity for possible adjustment is achieved. The specific choice of whether a one-piece version or a separate version of the Spacer is more advantageous, also depends on the used material of the container and the size difference between Container and receiving part. Especially with plastic containers to prefer a one-piece form, because here the elasticity of the Plastic can be used in the rib design with the To achieve adjustment effect and also the number of parts at Packaging is minimized.

• - eines Distanzeinsatzes oder
• - einer Distanzhülse oder
• - als einzelne, sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckende Distanzelemente, die in Umfangsrichtung beliebig angeordnet werden können und sich jeweils hinsichtlich ihrer Abmessungen über wenigstens einen Teil der Abmessungen in Umfangsrichtung des Zwischenraumes zwischen Behältnis und Innenwandung des Überbehälters erstrecken oder
• - in Form von sich in Umfangsrichtung über den gesamten Umfang erstreckender Distanzringe oder -scheiben

ausgeführt sein. If the distance device is designed separately, it can either be in the form

• - a distance mission or
• - a spacer sleeve or
• - As a single, extending in the vertical direction spacer elements, which can be arranged in the circumferential direction and each extend in terms of their dimensions over at least part of the dimensions in the circumferential direction of the space between the container and the inner wall of the overcontainer or
• - In the form of spacer rings or disks extending in the circumferential direction over the entire circumference

be executed.

Preferably, when using separate distance devices Versions with one-piece spacer inserts or spacer sleeves selected, since the effort involved in packaging the container with the prepackaged chemical compared to the one-piece design only is slightly higher, however, the additional benefit of adapting to large deviations in the external dimensions of the Container used by the inner dimensions of the over-container can be. Spacer insert, spacer sleeve or in the circumferential direction aligned discs can be closed in the circumferential direction Execution or in interrupted execution, so that the distance insert essentially in the circumferential direction over an area extends from 170 to 360 degrees inclusive. This Possibility offers the advantage of an additional elastic leaning of the Spacer on the outer circumference of the container.

The design as a distance insert can for example consist of two ring or disc-shaped elements exist, which correspond to the Inner contour of the receiving part are adapted, and that via web elements are connected to each other and thus a stiffness in the vertical direction enable. Especially when not closed in Considering the circumferential direction around the container, this solution offers the Advantage that tolerances due to the interruption elastic deformability of the entire distance insert compensated can be. This also applies to the designs with narrow ones spacer elements extending over the entire circumference.

The version with distance insert offers the advantage that the insert is interchangeable and therefore the overtank due to the change in Use can be optimally adapted to different container shapes.

In this case, the distance insert takes over at the same time essentially the damping function in the event of bumps Transport of the container.

In the one-piece design of the receiving part and the spacing device the space between the outer circumference of the container and the Inner wall of the receiving part is relatively small, so that none here There is a need to add additional filler material. at Use of a distance insert should consider this Dimensions should be such that a transition or Match between the individual elements - container, Spacer insert and spacer insert and inner wall of the receiving part is present to allow easy removal of the container enable.

The statements made for the distance device also apply to one on the lid or in the lid arranged fixing device for the Upper part of the container. This is also preferably more integral Part of the lid to keep packaging effort as low as possible to keep possible. However, execution as is also conceivable here separate fixation insert with adaptation to the outer contour of the Container in the area enclosed by the lid.

• - Handgriffe
• - Henkel
• - Ausgußelemente.

For particularly easy handling of the over-container or the container to be transported in it, the dimension of the receiving part in the vertical direction is preferably larger than the vertical dimension of the cover. In this case, a substantial part of the container is enclosed by the receiving part. The advantage here is that under certain circumstances additional fixing elements for supporting the container can be dispensed with if sufficient fixing is already possible by the spacing device in the receiving part and additional devices can also be offered which can also be used after opening the excess container Enable as a protective container according to the standard and facilitate handling according to legal regulations. For example, the following functional elements can be assigned to the container:

• - handles
• - Henkel
• - pouring elements.

The handles or handles can already be part of the outer container his. In particular, the handles can be used as an integral unit the recording part. However, this version is only then an advantage if it is not primarily the transport but the function as Over- and protective container is in the foreground, because otherwise to Transport of several over containers does not produce an optimal transport volume can be.

The other option is to use the handles as separate, with the Execute receiving part couplable elements. It is conceivable that the handles enclose the container, with a Bracing this in the circumferential direction coupling with the Recording part can be generated. Another option is To provide appropriate facilities in the container that are easy Allow attaching or latching handles. The done Analogous versions of the handles also apply to one possible handle. It is particularly legal in the test area prescribed, already packaged chemicals only in certain Transport containers, for example to transport buckets. By The outer container can be attached or latched in according to Art of a bucket.

The use of a pouring part has the advantage that in particular Test area, in which only small amounts of one in one Container of pre-assembled chemical are needed safely can be filled and removed and a drop in the Over containers themselves can be avoided. The pouring part can be as separate element can be added to the container or under the Prerequisite for a corresponding design of the over-container, for example with a trough in the floor area or also with a corresponding design of the cover element be attached to the bottom of the lid.

In a further aspect of the invention, the cover element can also be provided with a tamper-evident seal so that when it is used for the first time Packaging of such pre-assembled chemicals ensures the closed transport to the end user can.

Regarding the execution of the connection between the receiving part and the lid also has a number of options. It is essential that the coupling between the cover element and Receiving part should be detachable. This has the advantage that in a simple manner and way a secure closure of the over-container possible again and again and therefore also the chemicals in their pre-packaging a so-called second skin are protected.

Regarding the releasable coupling of the two elements - receiving part and Lids - there are a variety of options. Preferably each After the choice of material for the outer container, this is technically simple designable solution that is easy to handle by the end user. In this regard, there is a positive and / or positive connection Connections distinguished. The coupling can take place in such a way that even when lifting the container in the vertical direction and manual force on the lid this the total weight of Receiving part and container carries. The other way is only the main focus on a tight seal between Align the lid and the receiving part, whereby the entire container is not is suitable for handling only on the lid, that is Over containers are always lifted on the receiving part for transport got to.

Positive connections are preferably as Screw connection or press connection executed. at Screw connections are mutually complementary threads, which are brought into engagement with each other, on the receiving part and Cover provided. These can either be on the outer circumference of the Receiving part and inner circumference of the lid or on the outer circumference of the Receiving part and inner circumference of the lid respectively the parts of the lid and receiving part enclosing the interior be executed.

Another possibility of the non-positive connection is one Press connection, here the cover element in the manner of a spray can is slipped over a larger dimension on the receiving part, whereby on The inner circumference of the lid is elastic when it is made of plastic Projection is provided, which also forms a sealing surface. The In this case, the cover is made with a thin wall. The Press connection is carried out in the circumferential direction, that is in horizontal direction. Another option is to have one To realize press connection in the vertical direction. In this case for example, the cover and the receiving part on each other facing sides reinforced flange-like, so that both elements on the Flange surfaces rest against each other and at the same time as sealing surfaces act. These can be moved against each other in a vertical direction Appropriate clamping device are clamped, in the simplest case Clamps or clamping bolts can be used. In particular the version with clamps has the advantage that none additional machining of the flange surface is required. The Flange surfaces only need a larger diameter or larger circumferential dimensions than the receiving part and have the cover part.

Positive connections are in the form of snap connections or bayonet connections realized. these can be designed in a variety of ways and are depending on the choice of material for the Over containers according to production engineering criteria accordingly set.

The solution according to the invention is described below with reference to figures explained. The following is shown in detail:

The Fig. 1a shows a schematically simplified representation of an axial section based on the basic structure of an inventive container 1 About designed for pre-or pre chemicals. The pre-packaging takes place, for example, in disposable containers or reclosable containers made of plastic, glass or metal. The container is generally designated 2 . The over-container 1 comprises a receiving part 3 , which can be closed tightly by a cover 4 . The interior space 5 thus formed serves to receive, fix and protect the container 2 . The cover 4 is designed in such a way that its outer contour 6 has at least one area 7 of smaller circumferential dimension than in the coupling area 8 with the receiving part 3 , which is characterized by the close interaction of the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 . This area 7 of smaller circumferential dimensions in the horizontal direction is also referred to as the handling area, the outer surface 10 described by it serving as the engagement surface 11 for manual actuation or opening of the overcontainer 1 . For easy handling of the cover 4 - regardless of the type of coupling between the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 - the contact surface 11 is preferably provided with means 12 to increase the grip. In the simplest case, these means 12 are characterized by rib-shaped projections 60 , which are preferably arranged at regular intervals on the cover 4 in the circumferential direction and preferably extend in the vertical direction. Other options are also conceivable.

The coupling area 8 is characterized by the close interaction between the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 . This can be achieved by positive and / or non-positive connections. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the cover 4 is coupled to the receiving part 3 via a combined non-positive and positive connection 14 in the form of a screw connection 9 . This is shown as a detail in Fig. 1c. For this purpose, in the simplest case, a thread 16 is arranged in the coupling area 8 on the inner wall 15 of the cover 4 , while the complementary thread 17 is arranged on the outer circumference 18 of the receiving part 3 . Sealing in the coupling area 8 takes place via a sealing device 19 in the form of a contact seal. In the case shown, this is arranged on the receiving part 3 and extends in the circumferential direction of the inner contour of the receiving part 3 around the entire circumference of the receiving part 3 . The sealing device 19 is executed to the cover 4 so that the lid 4 comes to rest during the screwing between the cover 4 and the receiving part 3, the sealing means 19 on the inner periphery, that is, the inner wall of 15 °. The inner wall 15 thus forms a sealing surface 58 . The sealing device 19 is designed in the case shown as a sealing tape or flat sealing washer. The other possibility, not shown here, is to provide the sealing device 19 on the cover 4 . This is then arranged on the inner circumference 15 of the cover in the area of the coupling region 8 and, in the coupled state, extends between the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 in the direction of the receiving part 3 and lies against the inner circumference 61 of the receiving part 3 . The sealing device 19 is preferably designed to be elastic.

Also conceivable is the possibility, not shown here, of designing the sealing device as a separate sealing ring, in which case a corresponding groove for fixing the position of the sealing ring or the sealing disk would have to be provided on the inner circumference 15 of the cover 4 or on the outer circumference 18 of the receiving part 3 .

To fix the position of the container 2 is a spacer or fixing means 20 is in the cover element is preferably also provided. This preferably forms a structural unit with the cover 4 and comprises a plurality of fixing elements 20.1 to 20 .n. The fixing elements 20 are arranged in the circumferential direction based on the normal transport state of the container 2 around the container 2 on the cover 4 , in particular the inner circumference 15 . The arrangement is preferably carried out at regular intervals. The fixing elements 20.1 to 20 .n are also connected to the inner wall 15 , for example articulated. The fixing elements themselves can be made elastic, the elasticity being present at least in the direction of the outer contour 59 of the container 2 introduced into the overcontainer 1 .

FIG. 1a shows the integration of a container 2 in an outer container 1, wherein the container 2 is designed as a standard glass bottle. It can be clearly seen that the inner dimensions of the receiving part 3 and the lid 4 are larger than the outer dimensions of the container 2 . A spacer 21 therefore is provided for fixing the position in the receiving part 3, which comprises spacer elements 21 to .n 21.1, here in the form of rib-shaped projections 13 in the receiving part. 3 It can also be seen that the fixing elements 20.1 to 20 .n in the lid 4 assume a state in which they do not yet have any elastic deformation due to the outer contour 59 of the standard bottle for fixing shown here. In contrast, the Fig. 1b shows an embodiment of in terms of its dimensions for the embodiment of FIG. 1a identical container About 1.1 b with a likewise standardized container 2 in the form of a plastic container. The fixing elements 20.1 b are stressed here due to the larger dimensions of the container 2.1 b in the lid area with regard to their elasticity and thus serve to fix the position of the container 2.1 b by being supported on the inner wall 15.1 b of the lid 4.1 b. The rest of the basic structure of the container About 1.1 b corresponds to the reference numerals used are described in Fig. 1a, which is why the same for the same elements.

The design options shown in FIGS . 1a and 1b represent a particularly compact and advantageous embodiment of an over-container 1. It is irrelevant what type of container 2 is. It can be a glass bottle, a metal or plastic container. There are a number of possibilities with regard to the cross section of the overcontainer 1 . In the screw connection 9 shown in FIG. 1, the over-container 1 will have a cylindrical cross-section in a particularly advantageous manner. This applies to the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 . However, it is also conceivable that, for example, the receiving part has a cross-section that is angular with respect to the outer contour and is characterized only in the coupling area 8 with respect to the outer circumference by a circular cross-sectional design.

With regard to the internal cross-section, cylindrical over-containers 1 are preferably chosen, since here the interior design can advantageously be easily adapted to containers with different cross-sectional diameters and furthermore, taking into account the use of spacer elements, to any type of container.

FIGS. 2a to 2d illustrate to possible embodiments of spacer means 21 with separate spacer elements for the receiving part 3. These serve to adapt the outer container 1 with regard to its internal dimensions to the container 2 . In particular, if there is no suitable over-container 1 for a certain standard size, the insert solutions can be used to access a larger over-container in a very simple manner.

The Fig. 2a illustrates an embodiment of a spacer insert 21.2 a. When viewed in the functional position, this extends in the vertical direction over a substantial part of the dimensions of the receiving part 3 and, depending on the type of coupling in the region 8, also partially beyond the dimensions of the receiving part 3 . In the simplest case, the spacer insert 21.2 a is designed for cylindrical receiving parts 3 as an integral unit consisting of two ring-shaped or disk-shaped elements 22 and 23 and connecting webs 24 coupling them to one another. These connecting webs 24 can be rib-shaped, that is to say that they are preferably made with wider dimensions in the area of the outer circumference of the spacer insert 21.2 b, which is denoted here by 25 , and taper inwards, so that here too a certain amount Elasticity is given. Other designs are also possible, but elasticity in the direction of the outer circumference 25 is sought. The cross-sectional contour of the spacer insert 21.2 a depends on the cross-section of the receiving part 3 , in particular the inner contour. There are no limits to the geometry - circular, square or oval.

FIG. 2b shows a spacer used in the form of a 21.2 b spacer sleeve 27. This is designed as a hollow cylinder 28 .

The dimensions and geometry of the inner circumference 55 of both versions are based on the geometry of the container 2 to be packaged, with at least one transition or clearance fit between the container 2 and the inner circumference 55 of the spacer inserts 21.2 a and 21.2 b. This also applies to the dimensions on the outer circumference 25 of the spacer insert and the inner circumference 61 of the receiving part 3 . According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, not shown here, the spacer inserts 21.12 a and 21.2 b are not designed to be closed in the circumferential direction but to be open, ie interrupted. This possibility contributes to increasing the elasticity of the spacing device.

Fig. 2c illustrates spacer means 21.1 c in a multi-part design, that is in the form of several individual spacer elements 29.1 to 29 .n. The individual spacer elements 29.1 to 29 .n can be designed as desired. In the case shown, these preferably extend over a substantial part of the dimensions of the receiving part 3 in the vertical direction and in the circumferential direction over a part of the space between the inner wall 61 and 15 of the outer container 1 and the outer circumference 59 when the container 2 is introduced into the outer container of the container 2 . Another possibility is shown in Fig. 2d spacer elements 30.1 to 30 .n in the form of individual, in each case over a substantial portion of the gap, or preferably completely in the circumferential direction through the intermediate space between outer container 1 and container 2 extending annular or disc-shaped segments 56, or to be designed as a full ring or disc. At least two such spacer elements 30 and 32 are preferably used, a first spacer element 30 being arranged in the lower region, that is to say bottom region 31 of the receiving part 3 , while the second spacer element, here for example 32 , is designed in such a way that it holds the container 2 in the coupling region 8 encloses and possibly still in the area of the lid 4 , the spacer 32 being supported in the vertical direction by the changing cross-sectional dimensions on the container 2 .

FIGS. 3 illustrate an axial section of possible embodiments of a lid according to the invention designed 4.3. Referring to FIG. 3a of the lid is a one piece 4.3, wherein the fixing elements .n 20.1 to 20 of the fixing means 20 are an integral part of the lid 4.3 a, that is in one piece with this are performed. Another possibility is also shown in FIG. 3b to execute the fixing device 20 in the form of an insert 57, which as a standard bottle also encloses the b from the cover 4.3 enclosed area, for example, in embodiments of the container 2 and thus in the intermediate space between the outer periphery 59 of the container 2 and the inner wall 15 of the lid 4.3 b fills.

FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of an inventive container 1.4. The coupling between cover 4.4 and receiving part 3.4 is form-fitting. The touching seal can be realized by the individual interlocking elements. For this purpose, recesses 34 are provided on the receiving part 3.4 in the coupling area 8 , that is to say in the upper part, which correspond to complementary projections 33 on the cover 4.4 . As already stated, the arrangement of the projections and recesses between the cover 4 and the receiving part 3 can also be reversed here. The recesses 34 are designed in the vertical direction and are additionally extended in the circumferential direction to form a guide 62 . A recess 34 is assigned to each projection 33 , however only the recess 34 and the projection 33 are designated here as representative.
