CONFIRMATION COPY Depending on the relative arrangement of adjacent, stacked container modules, ie in each case a lower container module and an upper stacked on this

Container module, in container modules stacked into a container arrangement, it is possible to create container arrangements of various appearances.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the container module has one of

Container walls surrounded space area for receiving objects;

a container opening which provides access to the room area; a container lid, by means of which the container opening can be closed; at least one of

Container walls has a flat outer surface; at least one of the container walls has a flat inner surface; and the container lid is a wedge-like structure spatially bounded by a first wedge surface and a second wedge surface spaced therefrom and inclined thereto, a first side surface and a second side surface spaced therefrom and a first end surface and a second end surface spaced therefrom which are larger than the first face is.

The wedge-shaped container lid can in the container module for closing the

Can be used container opening, or it can instead be used as a wedge-shaped spacer between two stacked container modules.

This makes it possible to form a container arrangement according to the invention, which is constructed from at least two container modules stacked on top of one another, wherein in each case the container lid provided as a wedge-like structure is arranged in this container module stack between two stacked container modules, so that in the

Container module stack the upper container module with respect to the lower container module is inclined relative to the vertical.

The container module stack thus formed may be positioned adjacent a wall such that the upper end of the container module stack formed by the uppermost container module contacts the wall, i. attached to this. Such a crooked stack of inventive container modules is better protected against accidental and sometimes dangerous tipping away from the wall than a corresponding straight vertical stack of the same number of conventional container modules.

The gravity vector running through the center of gravity of the curved stack and acting against a tilting moment with respect to the pivot point or the axis of rotation of the stacking tilting movement has a larger lever arm in the case of the container module stack according to the invention than in the case of a corresponding straight vertical stack of conventional containers. This stabilization moment, which is formed by the gravity vector of the container module stack and acts against tipping over of the stack, is the greater the higher the container module stack is. At the same time, the heavier the container module stack is, the greater it is. With increasing risk potential, ie increasing stack height or number of modules and / or increasing loading, that decreases

Stabilization moment disproportionately too.

Preferably, the wedge-like container lid is in a plurality of positions on the

Container module can be arranged. This allows a versatile use of the

Container module.

Conveniently, the wedge-like container lid can be arranged in a closed position on the container module, in which the container opening by the wedge-like

Container lid is closed.

Preferably, the wedge-like container lid is also in a tilting position on the container module can be arranged, in which the wedge-like container lid with its first

Wedge surface or its second wedge surface rests against the flat outer surface of a container wall. In this tilting position, the wedge-shaped container lid acts as a wedge-shaped

Spacer between a lower container module and an adjacent upper container module in a container module stack.

Preferably, the wedge-like container lid is also or instead in one

Boom position on the container module can be arranged, in which the wedge-like container lid extends away from the container module, wherein the larger, second end face of the wedge-like container lid is located near a rectilinear edge region of the container opening and extending parallel to this edge region, and wherein the smaller, first End face of the wedge-like container lid is located far from the rectilinear edge region of the container opening. In this boom position, the cantilevered wedge-shaped container lid forms a table-like tray on a container module stack. Since the center of gravity of the container lid is in this case close to the pivot axis, only a small effect

Gravity-related torques on the container lid, whereby the manual pivoting of the container lid relative to the container module is facilitated.

Preferably, in the boom position, the first wedge surface or the second wedge surface of the wedge-like container lid is arranged flush with the flat inner surface of a container wall. This results in a large flat storage surface or work surface, which extends partially inside the container module and partially outside the container module. This storage surface or work surface thus forms a secretary configuration on the container module stack. Conveniently, at least two opposing container walls each have a flat outer surface. This allows the formation of a stable container module stack. Preferably, the two flat outer surfaces are parallel to each other. This then allows depending on the position of the wedge-like container lid to the individual

Container modules in a container module stack the formation of differently shaped container module stack.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the wedge-like container lid is hinged to the container module by means of a pivoting mechanism on the container module. This ensures that always a container lid is assigned to the container module and is not lost. Placing the wedge-like container lid in the plurality

Positions on the container module is effected by pivoting the container lid from position to position, in particular by pivoting between the closing position, the tilting position and the boom position.

Preferably, each body point of the wedge-like container lid is pivotable along a respective body point pivot track which lies in a respective pivot plane, the respective pivot planes being parallel or identical to each other and extending orthogonal to a first body axis of the container module. This means that the first wedge surface and the spaced apart and inclined second wedge surface of the wedge-like container lid during pivoting and in the various positions always orthogonal to the respective pivot planes or parallel to the first body axis extend.

Footprint and the upper footprint of the container module are arranged inclined to each other.

This makes it possible to form a container arrangement according to the invention, which is constructed from at least two stacked such container modules, wherein in this container module stack the bottom area of an upper container module is arranged adjacent to the ceiling area of an adjacent lower container module, so that the upper container module with respect to the lower tank module is inclined relative to the vertical. The container module stack formed in this way can be set up next to a wall such that the upper end of the container module stack formed by the uppermost container module touches the wall, ie bears against it. Such a crooked stack of container modules according to the invention is better protected against accidental and sometimes dangerous tipping away from the wall than a corresponding straight vertical stack of the same number of conventional container modules.

The gravity vector running through the center of gravity of the curved stack and acting against a tilting moment with respect to the pivot point or the axis of rotation of the stacking tilting movement has a larger lever arm in the case of the container module stack according to the invention than in the case of a corresponding straight vertical stack of conventional containers.

This stabilization moment, which is formed by the gravity vector of the container module stack and acts against tipping over of the stack, is the greater the higher the container module stack is. At the same time, the heavier the container module stack is, the greater it is. With increasing hazard potential, i. increasing stack height or number of modules and / or increasing loading, that takes
