Abstract

In a nestable/stackable box of rectangular parallelepiped shape with a peripheral step in its side walls dividing it into a wider and longer upper portion and a narrower and shorter lower portion, opposed walls of the upper portion each have two sockets 7, 11 of different width and the corresponding walls of the lower portion have projections/supports 2, 3 also of different width, each socket 7, 11 being at the opposite end of the box to its corresponding projection/support 2, 3. The projections/supports 2, 3 are cooperable with the corresponding sockets 7, 11 of another such box to provide nesting. The wider of the projections/supports 2 are divided into two portions 4, 5 of different width by a cavity 6, and the wider sockets 7 of the upper portion of the box are similarly divided into two portions 8, 9 of different width by a partition 10. <IMAGE>

Description

The invention relates to an improved stackable and snap-in box.

They are stackable and snap-in boxes in the shape of an egg rectangular, parallelepiped with a circumferential gradation in its middle part is known, the one on the top half of their pages with recordings and on the lower half of these sides with protrusions Gen / supports are provided, which are so effective to each other are arranged so that they stack the boxes in enable full condition one above the other, and that These boxes snap into each other by turning them allow of 180 degrees.

In addition, an improvement of this type of ka Most known that allows the top box slides across the bottom to stack function fulfill and / or to guarantee the snap-in function most for what the two protrusions / supports of the lower Half a different on each of the sides Has width, the wider projection one End of the page is closer and the narrower Projection at a greater distance from the opposite set side.

This arrangement, the stacking and / or snapping  by sliding a box over the bottom one enables, leads to the narrower and therefore weaker lead / support is the one who is is located at a greater distance from the end of the page and therefore it is the one who takes the greater burden. This in turn leads to the fact that of the two on the lower half of each page jumps / supports the weaker the greater load takes.

The aim of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages switch by creating a box that, in which he stacking and / or snapping into place by sliding over the lower one, it also allows the more resilient projection / support is the one who takes on the bigger load.

In order to achieve this goal, it was provided that the wider and from the corresponding end of the Projection / support further away in two parts of different width through a recess or is split longitudinally and that its corresponding inclusion of the top half of the Box also in two parts of different Width is divided by a longitudinal partition, where it follows that of the two divisions of the pre jump / the support the one with the greater width  End of the page is arranged closer and therefore the division with broader corresponding admission to the End of the opposite side is also closer. In the box according to the invention slides during of stacking by sliding in full condition the front jump / the support with a smaller width on the Partition that divides the wider intake, where it is avoided that it penetrates into this receptacle, so that the top box fits perfectly on the bottom can be stacked.

During stacking by sliding in an empty state slides the wider division of the larger forward jump / prop on the partition that is the wider Recording divides, the upper box in perfect the lower one clicks into place.

Further features and advantages of the invention result one of the following in the description attached schematic drawings Embodiment.

Figure 1 is a top view of the box.

Fig. 2 is a schematic side elevation of two superposed boxes in view of snapping by sliding one box over the other.

Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of two superimposed boxes at the moment of stacking by sliding one box over the other.

With reference to the figures, a box ( 1 ) is visible, the wider projection / support ( 2 ) of which is divided into two parts of different widths ( 4 ) and ( 5 ) by a gap-shaped recess ( 6 ).

The wider receptacle ( 7 ) is also divided in two, of which part is wider ( 8 ) and the other narrow ( 9 ), the division being ensured by a longitudinal partition.

The wider division ( 4 ) of the projection / support ( 2 ) is closer to the subsequent end of the side and the wider division ( 8 ) of the receptacle ( 7 ) is also closer to the corresponding end of the opposite side.

The description above relates to game-like embodiments of the invention, of which numerous variations are possible without the frame to leave the invention.

Claims (1)

Improved stackable and snap-in box in the form of a rectangular, right-angled parallelepiped with a circumferential gradation in its middle part, two receptacles of different widths being provided on the upper half of the sides of the box and corresponding projections / supports of different widths being provided on the lower half of the sides, whereby these receptacles and protrusions / supports are located at opposite ends of the sides, characterized in that the wider protrusions / supports, which are further away from the end of the side, are divided into two parts of different widths by a recess or a gap which extends in the longitudinal direction , with the wider on the upper half of the box also in two parts of different widths are divided by a longitudinally extending partition, the larger width division of the projection / support is closest to the bordering end of the page un d the larger width division of the corresponding receptacle is closest to the opposite end of the page.
