-U-

Container with a pair of shoes, shown from the front, viewed from one side and at an angle from above.

Two containers 1 are shown in a stacked state in FIG. Each container 1 consists of an upper part 2 and a lower part 3, which, as FIG. ⁶ shows, consist of a one-piece deep-drawn film part, the two container parts 13 and 3 being connected to one another by a folded hinge k . The -i _n container upper part 2 consists of a ceiling 5, two long sides- §

walls 6 and 7, one, preferably slightly sloping, Front wall 8 and a vertical rear wall 9 "

The container lower part 3 consists of a base 11, longitudinal side walls I ^{2 ur} > d 13 », a preferably slightly sloping one

Front wall \ k and a vertical rear wall 15.

Both container parts 2 and 3 have their free edges Flanged edges 17 and 18. In the area or parts of the Flange edges 17 and 18 can be provided in the form of snap fasteners, as shown in connection with FIG is shown with Figure 3. Here, for example, a push button 19 is formed on the flange edge of the upper part 2, which with corresponding openings 21 on the flange edge 18 of the lower part

² ^ corresponds. The folded and connected Upper and lower parts 2 and 3 form a container interior 22, in which a pair of shoes 33 is packed or fixed.

Through a U-shaped inwardly shaped central web lh , the individual shoes of the pair 23 are on leading

HOECHST AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT KALLE Branch of Hoechst AG

Distance brought. This Mitteilsteg 2k is inwardly in the

Bottom 11 of the lower part 3 e'einformed. As a result, shoes of different sizes are fixed in such a way that there is a homogeneous distribution of the center of gravity within a stack. 5

The cover 5 of the upper part 2 has a wide, continuous guide recess 25. This corresponds to the Stacking with a correspondingly wide guide projection

26 at the bottom 11 of the lower part 3 twice. The leadership advantage IO

26 of the bottom 11 has laterally continuous side walls on. These correspond in a leading manner to the side walls 37 the management focus 25. This ensures that a whole stack of containers 1 securely fixed in itself and

is nevertheless partially arranged to be easily detachable. 15th

As FIGS. 3, 6 and 7 show in particular, the container area which forms the useful interior 22 can be shaped can be extended by side cheeks 28, 29, 30 and 31.

These cheeks are in their end area by molded 20

Handle elements 32 and 33 connected, which in the collapsed

State of the container 1 an approximately tubular cylindrical handle unit 3 * »form. A through opening 35 is formed between the handle unit 3 ^ and the front walls 8, ] h. This passage opening also has flange edges 17 and 18 on its free edges. In principle, two designs are conceivable with this arrangement.

If the handle unit 3 ^ is omitted, then the Access opening 35 is omitted, as are the cheeks 28, 29, 30 and 31 · The container thus ends practically in the area of the

Front walls 8 and 14 of the upper and lower part 2 and 3-

If, however, the handle unit 3k is desired, then the embodiment according to FIGS. 3-6 and 7 applies.

What both versions have in common, however, is the stackable arrangement, as demonstrated in cross section in FIG. Together is also the one-piece manufacturability with both versions from a single-zone deep-drawn foil blank, preferably made of thermoplastic transparent material.

The guide recess 25, the guide projection 26 and the central web 2k serve, in addition to their guiding function, also a stiffening function of the individual container parts 2 and 3 and of the assembled container 1 as such.

The grip unit 3 ¹ "is, as it were, in its vertical extension in diameter, less than the height of the cheeks 28, 29, 30 _nd 31 and lower than the tank 1 as such, so that in a stacked arrangement, punch-through from the front to enter is possible in the passage opening 35.

This way it becomes possible to use from a whole batch of

Containers 1 equipped with shoes in any position Pull out Tray 1.

All edges and corners are rounded, also for production-related reasons reinsertion of a hatchet container with shoes 1 relieved between a pile. The inclination of the front walls and 1 ^ * also makes it easier to carry and when Feeling the access opening 35.
