The overall device according to FIG. 1 shows a container 10, bearing plates 11 and a container lid 12. As shown in FIG Representation in Fig. 1 can be seen, these can Assemble the individual parts so that the bearing plates 11 in the compartments of the container 10 fit and that the container lid seals the container tightly.

The Gesasi ^ orricirtuBg shown in Fig. 1; in the first line zisa camps and Aiazce ^ alireii von Biers .. To this Zeck is; the bearing plate 11 -old recesses in fors elongated-oval depressions 13, e1r _ö ^T a along half a kifonn—. speaking, provided. The Lageroiatrte 11 is; designed as a round base plate 14, in which the 13 is pressed, an, the I ^ iigs- 12nd outer edges of the base plate lh sisö alafwardly grooved "te flanges 15 are formed, which extend up to a level above the bottoms of the vertieäeiä 13 sii-i »W ^

As can be seen in Fig. 9, the elongated oval recesses 13 cer La ^ erplat; 1; e 11 222 are arranged in two rows parallel to the Langseixen of the Gnmdplatrte 14 :. Individual Vertieaungen 15 lie parallel to the transverse sides of the base plate 14. i7ie seen, the major axes of the recesses extend diagonally to aen sides of the base plate. Piping location is particularly advantageous to provide, inter alia, a rough number of eggs on a \ ^r ergleichsvieise small area "egen the particular arrangement and orientation of the recesses 13 are recesses 16 for the engagement of a finger sm opposite edges of the base plate to these P / under connecting center line in the opposite set positioned seals added. This results in a further saving house. in fact, the / lUssparuiigeK 16 are equal to 13 iweit from the Händem adjacent wells.

As FIG. 9 further shows, "the recesses 16 for the finger grip are semicircular * B" for this fona they are provided with old upwardly directed flanges 17, which are from their largest "Köhö in the putty to the lowest level as * bwi «ei5 Έζϊά & ίί decrease ^^ R.

Counteracts sliding. In addition, the high part of the Flange 17 has a thick ring and avoids ösioit sdaarxe Corners at the points of the bearing plate, attack by fingers.

In the embodiment shown, eight depressions 13 are provided in each storage plate 11, so, as in the preferred embodiment, two such bearings are used, so that seventeen eggs can be stored. This number has the advantage that if the supply goes to the helge and, for example, there are only four or fewer eggs left, there is space for a whole dozen new eggs.

The actual container 10 is formed with side walls 18 and a bottom 19 (FIGS. 4, 5 and 7). The side wall has a first side wall part 20, which extends upward from the bottom 19, followed by a section 21 extending to the outside, and a second side wall part 22 connected to it. The second upper side part 22 merges into an upstanding edge , which is designed as a flange 18 ^r (FIG. 7) which widens outwards. As FIG. 4 shows in particular, the lower side parts 20 delimit a box-shaped outlet 23 within the container and below the outwardly directed section 21. According to the preferred embodiment, the outwardly directed section 21 forms a shoulder or ledge above the box-shaped one Room 23. This shoulder or ledge can serve to support a container 24 (FIG. 11). In this case there is the advantageous possibility of accommodating ice or another heating or cooling medium in the box-shaped space 23. The box-shaped space 23 delimited by the lower side wall parts 20

thus enables a particularly versatile use of the container, oTraohl this is through a comparatively simple shape.

If the container 10 is used to hold a bearing plate 11, the side wall parts 20 of the box-shaped Hamas 23 come into contact with the flanges 15 of the bearing plate 11 so that the latter can be immovably stored within the container. At the same time, the flanges 13 serve as guides when the bearing plate is inserted into the space 23. The flanges 15 prevent the base plate 14 from shifting the outwardly directed sections 21 of the container.

* Container 10 has a special side wall 25 (Fig. 7) on, which is used to support the stepped side wall 18. This support wall 25 is nit the side wall 18 by a upper, outwardly directed section 26, which ooen adjoins the second side wall part 22.

In accordance with the illustrated preferred embodiment of the invention, the container 10 has adjacent compartments. Each of these compartments is designed as a container of the type described sit stepped side wall 18. The adjacent upper Seitenwasidteile 22 are connected by a substantially horizontal transverse wall 21 (Fig. 2). The profile of the "edge parts 27, 22, 21 and 20" results in a fairly rigid, deformation-resistant connection between adjacent compartments.

The container lid 12 results when it is used with the container 10 alone or in combination with the Lsg ^ rplstte 11,

one outwardly distinguished; sealed storage container. The cover has an upper wall 28 and side walls 29 which merge into an edge part generally designated 30. The edge part is formed with a first upwardly open U-profile 31 which merges into a second downwardly open U-profile 32. In the embodiment, the downwardly open U-profile 32 forms ^{a tight seal by receiving the outwardly widening flange 18 1} on the container edge. This closure or this seal can be made particularly effective in that the cover 12 or the flange 18 'is made of a resilient, locally deformable material. In a preferred embodiment, low density polyethylene is used for the container lid 12 and polypropylene or linear high density polyethylene is used for the container 10 and the bearing plates 11.

Handles 33 are formed on the container 10 as flanges extending outward from the side wall parts 22 thereof. The handles 33 have slanted side parts 3 ¹ '- in the vicinity of the corners 35 (. Fxg 2) of the raised rim 18'. The bevels are provided so that a ^{container lid which is in engagement with the rim 18 1} can be easily grasped for removing the lid. The position of the handle side parts 34 in relation to the corners 35 is that shown in Pig »6.
