  • the lateral surfaces of the small containers 2 are cylindrical shaped.
  • a coupling element 14 for producing a releasable connection with at least one other Small container 2 provided so that the small container with opposite their respective end sections are connectable.
  • the small container 2 has a circular cylindrical Section 8, the diameter of which is slight in the present case larger than the diameter of the small container 2 itself is. However, this measure is not mandatory and the diameter of the circular cylindrical section 8 can also assume the diameter of the small container 2. in the Area of the cylindrical peripheral surface of section 8 is a device 16, 18 for producing a positive Sliding-plug connection with at least one further such small container 2 arranged.
  • the attachment is also in such an embodiment a facility to limit the area Rolling movement of two small containers put together 2 conceivable. It can e.g. to act as an attack.
  • the small container 2 has lid-shaped upper part 4 and a lower part 6.
  • the bottom part 6 has a retracted edge over which the top 4 is put over. The retracted is for locking Edge provided with a bead 10.
  • Suitable for the bead 10 the upper part 4 has a groove 12.
  • the upper part 4 snaps onto the lower part 6 of the ring-shaped Bead 10 in the annular groove 12, so that a lock is achieved.
  • Both in Fig. 3 and the 1 and 2 is the design of the coupling element 14 on the end sections of the small container 2 recognizable.
  • those on the upper part 4 and the lower part 6 of the small container each are different, are also arbitrary other suitable plug connections, including for the upper part 4 and lower part 6 similarly designed plug connections, applicable.
  • Fig. 5 shows the elevations 16 and recesses 18 in more detail.
  • the dimensions of the elevations 16 and recesses 18 on which the present exemplary embodiment is based and the most important dimensions of the small container 2 (see also FIG. 1) are listed in Table 1 below: Dimensions (mm): A 11.5 B 32 C. 02.9 D 02.5 E 01.0 F 01.0 G 01.8 H 45
  • A denotes the length of the device 16, 18 for establishing a sliding plug connection in your Extension on the circular cylindrical section 8
  • B the Width of the small container 2
  • C the width of the elevation 16 on the circumferential side
  • D the width of the recess 18 on the Peripheral side
  • E the height of the elevation 16 above the bottom of the Recess 18,
