  • Said housings 13b are provided with circular holes with predetermined size adapted to allow the passage of the cylindrical pins 12b; the depth of said housings 13b is preferably the same as the length of the pins 12b.
  • the fixing means 14 described above include a screw 14a, a hole 14b in the base of the housings 13b, with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the pins 12b, co-axial with said pin and located on the opposite side compared to the insertion hole for the pin 12b, a threaded cavity 14c drilled inside each pin 12b and coaxial with said pin 12b, sized so that each pin 12b can be fixed in its corresponding housing 13b using a screw 14apassing through said hole 14b and screwing into said threaded cavity inside each pin 12b.
  • the two opposite side panels 6, are provided with side fins 15, said fins 15 being integral part of the uprights 8 of said side panels 6.
  • said fins are generally rectangular in shape, elongated, and completely surround the upright 8 of which they are part.
  • said fins are located on the part of side panels 6 towards the exterior of box 1, protruding in the direction of the corresponding uprights 8 of sides 5, and resting on said corresponding uprights 8 of sides 5.
  • top grids 3 and bottom grids 4 are provided with container rims 16 and 17 respectively, located on and forming part of the sections that constitute the respective short sides.
  • Said container rims 16 and 17, are positioned on the parts of grids 3 and 4 that face the exterior of the box 1, on the part of the respective side panels 6.
  • the container rims 16 of the top grid 3 protrude in the direction of the bottom grid 4, and vice-versa
  • the container rims 17 of the bottom grid 4 protrude in the direction of the upper grid 3.
  • Said container rims 16 and 17 permit simple and rapid insertion of the opposite sides against the grids 3 and 4 and sides 5, completing the structure 2 of box 1, and, together with the side fins 15, they allow stable and safe blocking of side panels 6 against grids 3 and 4, and against sides 5.
  • Figures 8a, 8b ands 8c show the sequence followed for assembling the side panels 6 and the subsequent obtaining of the structurally complete box 1.
  • the side panel 6 is made to knock against the sides 5 in proximity of the top grid 3, and the upper part of said side panel 6 is inserted into the cavity formed between the top grid 3 and the corresponding upper container rim 16 until it lays on said top grid 3.
  • closing systems 26 have been provided (fig. 1), for example security seals made of a numbered plastic band or made of the traditional lead wire, that is has to be broken to open the box 1.
  • boxes 1 it is possible to stack several boxes 1 (figs. 5a e 5b).
  • boxes 1 can be stacked three levels high.
  • Said metal plates 18 are preferably triangular in shape, more precisely a right-angled isosceles triangle, with the cathetus attached to the long side 10 and to the short side 11 that intersect at the corresponding angle, and with the unattached hypotenuse.
  • each bottom grid 4 of said box 1 is provided with support feet 19.
  • the box 1 is preferably provided with two further support feet 28, located on a crossbar 26 of the bottom grid 4, parallel to said short sides 11 and linked in central position as regards the long sides 10. Said feet 28, when the box 1 is stacked onto a second box, rest on a crossbar 27 of the top grid of said second box, linked in central position as regards the long sides 10.
  • the bottom grids 4 of the boxes 1 further comprises advantageously a plurality of sections 20 (fig. 6b) of predetermined size associated, preferably welded, to the underside of said bottom grids 4 on the long sides 10.
  • said sections 20 are arranged two for each long side 10, in parallel and in contact for their total length with said long sides 10, spaced and extending from the ends of said long sides 10 towards the centre of said long sides 10, in order to create a passage 24 between the respective internal ends of said sections 20, for the lift truck forks 21 (fig. 6a) from both long sides 10.
  • a passage 25 for said lift truck forks 21 is formed under the respective short sides 11, delimited only by the support feet 19 (fig.6c).
  • the passages are all the same width as to allow the use of a single lift truck with a single fork.
  • Said handles 22 are preferably forged from a metal rod of predetermined size, bent in four points in order to provide said handles 22 with the characteristic "omega" shape, the feet of the "omega” corrisponding to the pins of the handle 22, inserted into the respective screw eyes 23.
  • These handles are movable and can be moved up to a 90° angle (fig. 7b) between a protruding position for handling purposes, and the rest position that is recessed in the box side so that it is flush with the surface.
