- a swiveling upper handle is attached to the outside of the top of the housing cover.
- coupling devices are formed in the area of the top and the bottom of the container housing, which make it possible to stack several of the storage containers on top of one another and to detachably couple them to one another in a manner that cannot be separated from one another.
- a shelf box system which contains boxes which act as storage containers and which are inserted into a shelf for storage and in Can be pulled out as needed.
- each box has a rigid and integrally molded handle on the front, which is designed as a pull handle which is only suitable for pulling the storage container and which has a grip strip which one uses to pull traction with the fingers Hand can be gripped behind, but cannot be grasped by hand.
- the invention is based on the object of taking measures in order to be able to manufacture storage containers which can be handled in different ways simply and inexpensively.
- the housing attachment interfaces of the first container housing and the second container housing are designed identically to one another as a uniform housing attachment interface, the second handle attached to the unitary housing attachment interface of the second container housing being a non-detachable pull handle with one of the fingers of a hand graspable grip bar is formed.
- a storage device which is composed of a plurality of storage containers, including one or more first storage containers and one or more second storage containers.
- Each of these storage containers has a container housing, which is referred to as the first container housing in the first storage container and as the second container housing in the second storage container.
- the first and second container housings match at least insofar as they have a uniform housing mounting interface have, which are identical to each other.

Between the pull handle and the second container housing is not suitable for a grasp by a hand gap. The pull handle is practically only a pull-out aid for the storage container.
- Fastening interface simplifies the manufacture of first and second storage containers, since at the time of manufacture of a container housing it is not yet necessary to determine whether it will later be equipped with a pull handle for use as the first container housing with a pivoting carrying handle or for use as a second container housing should. If the uniform housing mounting interface and the first and the second ten handle mounting interfaces are designed for releasable connection, there is also the advantage that the container housing can be retrofitted by changing the handle from a first container housing to a second container housing or vice versa.
- the second handle attached to the unitary housing fastening interface of the second container housing is expediently not movable with respect to the second container housing. Its relative position with respect to the second container housing cannot be changed.
- a second handle can be manufactured particularly inexpensively.
- the second handle can be moved as a whole or with components relative to the second container housing.
- the manually graspable grip strip can be movable relative to the second container housing, for example it can be pushed in and pulled out, so that it can be adjusted between a space-saving non-use position and a use position.

- only the second handle is also additionally attached with its second handle attachment interface to the at least one individual housing attachment section of the second container housing.
- the uniform housing fastening interface has exactly two common housing fastening sections and, in addition, exactly two individual housing fastening sections. These four housing fastening sections are preferably placed in the corner areas of an imaginary rectangle.
- the two common housing mounting sections are arranged adjacent to each other and also the two individual housing mounting sections. If the uniform housing interface is advantageously located on a horizontally oriented front side of the container housing, The two common housing fastening sections as well as the two individual housing fastening sections are expediently in each case on a horizontal line.
- the two common housing fastening sections are preferably placed above the two individual housing fastening sections.
- the first handle and the second handle are preferably designed such that both the first handle attachment interface of the first handle and the second
- Handle attachment interface of the second handle each has at least one primary handle attachment portion, while only the second handle attachment

- the first hand designed as a pivotable carrying handle, is expediently designed as an at least substantially U-shaped bow handle which has two handle legs connected to one another by a connecting web that can be gripped around with one hand.
- a component of the first handle attachment interface which is in engagement engagement with the unitary housing attachment interface of the first container housing and which is, in particular, one of the primary handle attachment sections already mentioned.
- the second handle which acts as a pull handle, is expediently designed in an H-shape and comprises two parallel handle legs which are rigidly connected to one another by a connecting web.
- the grip strip that can be gripped behind with the fingers of one hand is formed by the connecting web.
- Both the first container housing and the second container housing each have a top pointing in a height direction and a front oriented at right angles to the height direction. It is seen as particularly advantageous if both the first handle and the second handle form a front handle, which is arranged on the front side of the first and the second container housing, with the corresponding housing mounting interface correspondingly also on this front side located.
- both the first container housing and the second container housing have, in addition to the front handle arranged on the front side, an upper carrying handle arranged on the outside at the top.

- the first handle 52a designed as a front handle 52 and in the case of the second opening storage container 2b, the second handle 52b, also designed as a front handle 52, can be used.
- the guide device 96 is expediently integrated in one piece into the lower housing part 24 made of plastic material.
- a plurality of storage containers 2 are preferably stackable on one another in the height direction 16, so that a stack of containers 98 consisting of at least two stacked storage containers 2 results, as is illustrated in FIG. 17 in connection with three stacked storage containers 2.
- an upper container 2 sits with its underside 4 on the upper side 5 of another container 2 arranged below it.
- Each storage container 2 expediently has a lower coupling device 102 in the area of its underside 4, which is designed, for example, in the manner shown in FIGS. 3 and 8.
- each storage container 2 has an upper coupling device 103 on the upper side 5, the preferred embodiment of which can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 7.
- the two coupling devices 102, 103 are adapted to one another in such a way that, through their cooperation, the storage containers 2 stacked directly on top of one another can be detachably coupled to one another in a manner that cannot be separated from one another. Such a coupled state is shown in FIG. 17.
- the container stack 98 can then be carried and transported uniformly by means of the upper handle 45 of the uppermost storage container 2 pivoted into the use position.
- the locking means 38 explained further above preferably belong at least partially to the two coupling devices. directions 102, 103.
- the rotary latch 44 can be rotated into a coupling position shown at 100 in FIG. 17, in which it holds the two stacked storage containers 2 in the region of the front side 6
- Further components of the coupling devices 102, 103 are formed in the illustrated embodiment by projections formed on the underside 4 and by recesses formed on the top 5.
- the projections and depressions engage at least partially in such a way that they overlap transversely to the height direction 16 and likewise bring about an uncouplable coupling of two stacked storage containers 2, in particular in the area of the rear side 7.
- the projections are expediently used for parking the storage container 2 on a base.
