Container

The invention relates to a container with essentially over its entire height vertical to its standing surface extending side walls, of which at least two opposing side walls are approximately the same Have dimensions, and with a cover releasably attached to its top.

Such containers are known and are used in particular for packaging foodstuffs such as coffee, etc. The known containers have four side walls which are concave parallel to the base, ν £ ει each of which the two opposing Seitenwäride have the same dimensions.

If the containers for sale are arranged on shelves in sales rooms, this should be in a space-saving manner Wise done to offer as many containers as possible

to be able to. Therefore, the containers are placed in rows one behind the other; where see the containers touch each other by pulling the rear side wall of the each front container on the front soap wall of the subsequent rear container is applied. This is a precise alignment of the known container difficult and time-consuming in a row SSx cloth to VerrütSCiiöfif ufi SiCiI the container "ΠϋΐΓ ΧΠ the middle of their concavely curved side walls touch each other and thus do not have a firm hold to each other.

The invention is therefore based on the object of designing containers of the type mentioned at the outset so that during | -) 5 of the installation a slight alignment in a row | one after the other is possible.

This object is achieved with a container which is characterized in that one of the two opposite one another Side walls of the container parallel to the base, concave and the other opposite Side wall with the same shape of curvature parallel to the base is convexly curved.

Such containers allow easy alignment in a row while placing them on a shelf, because the container due to their inventive

Because with | Containers placed one behind the other lies flat against the rear side wall of the respective front container, which is convexly curved parallel to the standing surface, and the front side wall of the respective rear container, which is concave parallel to the standing surface, lies flat. This is not only achieved in that one side wall of the container is concave and parallel to the base

In a preferred embodiment, the cover is cap-shaped and has circumferential walls / which extend vertically to the side walls of the container

1iO have side walls. As a result, the outer walls of the Lids have the same function as the side walls during the division of the container.

Preferably, a container with four sides should be Ί5 walls, of which the two opposing, curved side walls according to the invention, additional side walls have approximately the same dimensions formed by cutting the side walls Edges on the corner points of a rectangle, square £ o or parallelogram. That way it gets a particularly compact container.

In an advantageous development, the additional Side walls must be flat so that several rows of containers placed one behind the other are flush with one another can be arranged.

The invention is described below with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. explained. Show it:

As FIGS. 1 and 2 show, the container has a base, to the standing surface 2 of which four side walls 4-10 run vertically over the entire height of the container. The first side wall 4 is uniformly concave parallel to the base 2 and the opposite, second side wall 6 is uniformly convexly curved parallel to the base 2, the first and second side walls 4 and 6 having the same dimensions and the same curvature 'i

In contrast, the third and fourth side walls 8 connecting the first and second side walls 4 and 6 are

As FIG. 2 shows, the through section are thereby

On the top of the container, a cap-shaped cover 20 is removably mounted, the peripheral walls of which are 22-26 ■ 25 to see only three peripheral walls in Figure 1, are vertical and join flush with the side walls 4-10 of the container.

FIG. 3 shows, using two containers, schematically how the containers are arranged one behind the other. The containers are set up and aligned with one another in such a way that the concavely curved, front, first side wall 4 ″ of the respective rear ^{container rests against the convexly curved, rear, second side wall 6 1 of} the respective front container.
