  • the folding joints for the side walls 1 to 4 are preferred on the inside, i.e. on the inner surface formed, as shown purely schematically in Fig.1 by 6 is. This means that the side walls 1 to 4 according to the arrow directions shown in Fig. 11 can be folded inwards on the floor 5.
  • the joints 6 are on different Level regarding the floor 5 what by different high intermediate links 7 is reached.
  • These links 7 are preferably formed in one piece with the bottom 5 and extend with respect to the peripheral edge of the bottom the floor surface up.
  • the intermediate member 7 is the shortest and has approximately the thickness of the longitudinal side wall 1.
  • the the next higher intermediate link 7 is that of the longitudinal side wall 2 and then that of the longitudinal side wall 4 and then 3. Accordingly comes the longitudinal side wall in the folded position 2 to lie on the longitudinal side wall 1, whereupon the side wall 4 and then the side wall 3 can be opened.
  • the gradations the intermediate links each correspond to the thickness of the corresponding one Sidewalls, so that they fold perfectly the side walls is made possible.
  • the side walls 1 and 2 are in the illustrated embodiment designed so that the one hand optimal display function can unfold by opening a maximized have, and on the other hand as recordings for insertion Labels, cardboard inserts and the like can be used can.
  • Corresponding display openings are also in the side walls 3 and 4 provided, also in these openings Labels and / or cardboard inserts can be attached.
  • the long side walls 1 and 2 point to the formation of a maximization a display opening on a U-shaped frame emaciated appearance, the frame consisting of two vertical web-like legs 8 and one of the two Legs 8 connecting web-like in the area of the floor Bottom rail 9 is formed.
  • the exemplary embodiment is the longitudinal side walls around essentially rectangular recesses as display openings with at 10 rounded edges, the different Radius of curvature for these curves 10 for the Long side wall 1 and the long side wall 2 only two to represent different embodiments.
  • the display openings 12 are in the narrow side walls 3 and 4 in the illustrated embodiment of rectangular Cross section, vertical legs 13 also being realized here are connected by a bar 14 close to the ground. Furthermore, the narrow side walls 3 and 4 also have another horizontal cross strut forming the upper edge of the box 15 on which a handle for transporting the container forms.
  • the edges of the side walls that delimit the display openings are provided with a groove 16, which all around here the entire frame of the side walls is formed and a Insert a cardboard insert, a label and the like allowed.
  • a groove 16 which all around here the entire frame of the side walls is formed and a Insert a cardboard insert, a label and the like allowed.
  • clamping projections 17 preferably in the central region of the Side walls and in the baseboard provided the right clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 5.
  • These locking tabs 17 have an inclined insertion ramp 18 so that the cardboard insert can be easily inserted into the groove 16 can. If the cardboard insert is pulled over the clamping projection 17, so the cardboard insert against the edges 19 of the opposite groove wall clamped and thus non-positive held within the corresponding side wall.
  • the groove depth is sufficient for a safe absorption of the Cardboard insert, preferably the groove depth in the area of Floor strut 9 is larger than in the vertical leg areas.
  • Corresponding grooves and clamping projections are also in the side walls 3 and 4 provided, here in the illustrated Embodiment around the rectangular display opening 12 all around.
  • each of the narrow ones is in the embodiment according to FIG Side walls 3 and 4 are U-shaped in plan view, by covering side wall sections in Art extend from tongues 20.
  • These tongue-shaped side wall sections which extend into the plane of the long side walls, reach over in the upright position of the side walls the legs 8 of the longitudinal side walls 1 and 2 from the outside.
  • 8 recesses at 21 are formed to the side wall portions 20 and these Record side wall portions 20 so that the outer surface of the Sidewall portions 20 and the outer surface 22 of the long side wall 1 flush with each other, so align.
  • the overall appearance is closed and a flat, even appearance of the outer surface of the box.
  • This lock includes in the illustrated embodiment one in recesses 23 at the upper box edge of the side wall sections 20 recorded and shown in more detail in Fig.9 Knob 24, which is rotatable in the recess 23 is and with integrally formed on the vertical legs Locking hook 25 cooperates.
  • Fig.9 Knob 24 which is rotatable in the recess 23 is and with integrally formed on the vertical legs Locking hook 25 cooperates.
  • Fig.10 two on top of each twist lock trimmed hook 25 is provided according to Fig.10, the result of recesses 26 of the rotary handle 24 overlap it, when the side walls are guided into their erected position are.
