Description

Stackable container for liquids

The invention relates to stackable containers for liquids. Such containers are in various forms of execution known such as From U.S. Patent 4,308,955. Unsatisfactory This container is easy to handle when it comes to the quick and safe use of smaller amounts of liquid goes.

It is the object of the invention to provide a novel construction of a stackable container for liquids, in particular for use in the hairdressing sector, specify, in which no manual Alignment of a second container on a first container is necessary, which is also little in larger units Takes up space, does not tip over and the contents can be easily removed and used even with wet fingers.

This object is achieved in a container of the type mentioned in that the container has the shape of a straight line Has prism and additionally on a first end face a center of gravity-centered and tapering indentation and a corresponding one at a second end face

has complementary bulge, and with a Abdrehver conclusion, which has a section of the straight with its lateral surface Prism forms.

Further developments and refinements of the invention are |

characterized in the subclaims and are hereinafter referred to as ί

in connection with the exemplary embodiments, |

partly schematically simplified figures described. In these parts corresponding to one another are provided with the same reference numerals, and they are all for understanding the invention unnecessary details have been omitted.

It shows: FIG. 1 an embodiment of one according to the invention

executed stackable container in side view;

the container shown in Fig. 1 of seen below;

is another side view in which containers are shown stacked one on top of the other; sees a twist lock from the Seitenan;

a twist lock from the point of view of below;

the container without twist-off cap from the Side view;

the container of FIG. 6 in another side view;

the container of Figure 6 in plan view; another embodiment of the inven tion according to the invention executed stackable container in side view;

the container shown in Figure 9 seen from another side;

a side view showing the containers stacked one on top of the other.

The stackable container shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists essentially of the actual container (1) and the twist lock (2), whereby in the rotationally symmetrical, spherical indentation (3) with a thumb, the container can be rotated and held well. The twist lock (2) can be opened easily even with wet fingers due to its large surface and favorable leverage. Complementary to the indentation on the other side of the container has a corresponding indentation (4) to prevent it from tipping over Pile up.

FIG. 3 shows the container according to the invention as a stack a flat surface. Such a stack of containers can be also in several adjacent rows, by machine handle well for placing in shipping containers, as well removing it by hand from the shipping container and placing it on a surface (5). Because of the rotationally symmetrical Formation of the container (1) is not required from a direction for stacking one another.

The twist-off closure (2) shown in Figures 4 and 5 for The container opening (7) is closed in a form-fitting manner the recessed edge (6) (Figure 6, 7, 8) of the container (1), the depth of the edge (6) being the wall thickness of the twist-off closure (2) corresponds.

Figures 9, 10 and 11 show another embodiment of the container (1) according to the invention, in the form of a straight prism with square end faces and centric, pyramidal indentation and bulge (3, 4), which for Self-alignment by means of the dead weight of a Container (1) is used and prevents tipping or slipping of the stack (Fig. 11). The design of the twist-off closure (2) as a corner piece has the advantage that the container opening neck (8) is well exposed for targeted application of the container content · Another advantage of the container according to FIGS. 9 to 11 is the optimal use of space.
