Definitions

  • Such a plastic container is known from European patent application No. 93902215.8-2308, in which a rectangular bottom is connected to four outer walls by film hinges. Because of the high demands which the film hinges have to meet, the choice of material is narrow and great precision is required in the production. Even if high-quality material is used, it is above all the lower hinges of these containers which, owing to damage to the exposed film hinges by mechanical influences and / or ultraviolet rays, can cause the entire container to fail.
  • Such a plastic container is known from Swiss patent application No. 3664 / 94-1, in which a rectangular bottom is connected to four outer walls by means of hinges comprising pins and bushings. In their vertical configuration, the walls are interlocked with one another by means of locking elements, which have proven themselves in practice. However, if a container is loaded on one side, an unintentional but possible folding of the end walls inwards can have a disadvantageous effect. The assembly of the walls requires correct alignment of the surfaces to be assembled, which complicates the process and therefore makes it more expensive.
  • the invention is intended to remedy this.
  • the invention creates a plastic container with a contact body which, as the outermost part of the container base, serves to place a filled container on the walls of another filled container and has a regular arrangement of "Z" in cross section.

This increases the stability of stacks of filled containers significantly increased, the transport and storage of the filled containers safer. Despite the increased stability and security, the containers are light and the ventilation of the goods is guaranteed.
  • Stabilization elements which essentially have a cross-section in the form of an Arabic two (“2") - the convex upper part of this "2" profile coming to lie on the inside of the container - offer compared to a known "Z” -
