Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a resealable container, in particular a resealable child-resistant container, with a container body comprising a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls and a base and a lid pivotably placed on the rear wall, the lid having an edge section angled downwards parallel to the front wall .
  • Reclosable containers are used in large numbers in a wide variety of areas.
  • corresponding containers can serve as detergent packaging.
  • the use of childproof packaging containers is known in particular from the medical sector and in the field of plastic bottles with childproof closures.
  • plastic packaging is currently primarily used, which ensures that the packaging is locked appropriately.
  • plastic packaging there is also an increasing number of cardboard packaging that can be reclosed and/or locked.
  • a childproof packaging container comprising a box body and a lid applied thereto, which in the closed position engages over the upper edge regions of the box body.
  • Four locking tabs are provided on the upper edge of the box body, two next to each other on the front side of the box and one each on a box side wall, which are folded onto the outside of the box body when the lid is in the closed position and one each on the inside of the downwardly angled edge shoulder.
  • Each locking tab is accessible and can be unlocked via a passage opening formed in the downwardly angled edge.
  • the through-openings are arranged in pairs across the corner, with the distance between the through-openings being the average span between the thumb and forefinger of the hand equivalent to an adult. It is only possible to unlock the cover if all locking tabs are pressed at the same time.
  • the folding box comprises an outer container body with a lid leaning against it and an inner body arranged in the outer body. In the closed position, the lid is inserted between the outer and inner containers and is essentially flush with the outer edge of the outer container. A total of four tabs are arranged on the peripheral edge of the lid, which are folded up outwards in systems with the edge of the lid. These flaps are held between the outer container and the inner containers when closed.
  • the outer container has a latching strip on its inside, which extends equally between the outer container and the inner container, and under which the tabs engage in the closed state.
  • Both the tabs and the locking strips are arranged in the area of the side walls of the box. Furthermore, access openings are provided in the area of the outer container, which make it possible to press two of the tabs provided inwards at the same time, so that they slip out from under the locking strips. The two other tabs are smaller and can be bent over with a little effort when opening the lid. When closing again, the tabs are pressed back under the snap-in bars.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a resealable container which has a simple structure and which ensures that after each reseal the package assumes a locking position which can only be unlocked by an adult so that children cannot reach the contents. Furthermore, the reclosable container should be easy to both manufacture and use.
  • a resealable container in particular a child-proof resealable container, with a container body comprising a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls and a base and a lid pivotably placed on the rear wall, the lid having an edge section angled downwards parallel to the front wall , solved in that on a lower edge of the edge section two snap-in tabs angled upwards on the outside of the edge section are arranged in use, on an inside of the front wall a retaining element is provided, which at least partially on a lower edge of the Snap-in tabs can be gripped under and behind, with two wall weakening points arranged in the closed state at the level of the snap-in tabs being formed in the front wall and the cover being divided into two areas by at least one weakened line extending transversely to the front wall, each of which is assigned to a snap-in tab.
  • the container according to the invention can only be opened if each of the two latching tabs is released from this position by actuating two mutually remote areas or points, with each latching tab being moved simultaneously downwards and backwards, i.e. into the container got to.
  • the use of both hands is necessary, whereby the individual areas or points to be actuated must be actuated simultaneously with thumb and fingers, i.e. must be pressed. Since the two locking tabs consequently have to be unlocked in a targeted manner using both hands, particularly good protection against unintentional opening by children is provided.
  • the container according to the invention can be easily manufactured and can therefore also be manufactured in large numbers at low cost.
  • the distance between the two wall weakening points and/or between the two areas divided by the weakening line and/or the distance between a wall weakening point and the associated area divided by the weakening line corresponds to the average span between thumb and index finger hand of an adult.
  • This positioning provides a sufficient distance between the individual areas or points to be actuated.
  • the selected distance ensures in particular that the locking mechanism cannot be released by children's hands, since it is impossible for two children's hands to reach all four areas or locations to be operated at the same time.
  • the packaging is designed to be particularly secure if there is more than one distance between two corresponding areas or points, preferably between all areas and points, corresponding to one another.
  • the retaining element can be formed in two layers. This significantly increases the stability of the retaining element in a simple manner. At the same time, reaching behind can be simplified by the latching tabs.
  • the retaining element preferably comprises an outer layer and an intermediate layer, the intermediate layer being arranged between the inside of the front wall and the outer layer, and the intermediate layer being shorter than the outer layer in the region of the lower edge relative to an upper edge of the front wall. Since the intermediate layer is designed to be shortened compared to the outer layer, an engagement section is provided in a simple manner, which can then be gripped behind by the latching tabs. Here, the length of the intermediate layer can ensure that the latching tabs fully engage in the engagement section. The engagement of the locking tabs is supported by the spring effect of the locking tabs, achieved by folding the locking tab up against the edge section, which ensures that the outer edge of the locking tabs is supported on the front wall or the retaining element.
  • the retaining element is formed with a recess on its outer edge facing away from the upper edge of the front wall, wherein the recess extends from the lower edge of the retaining element that can be gripped from below and/or from behind, as well as the Side walls of the container facing side areas is formed.
  • the lower edge of the retaining element is additionally stabilized by the side regions of the retaining element that are provided, which extend beyond the lower edge relative to the upper edge of the front wall.
  • the retaining element is glued to the front wall, in particular via the side areas of the retaining element.
  • the outer layer and the intermediate layer as well as the intermediate layer and the inside of the front wall are also glued together.
  • the retaining element is designed to be particularly stable and thus prevents the latching tabs from being able to slip out of the secured position.
  • a further embodiment can provide that the recess of the retaining element essentially corresponds to the shape of the latching tabs. This ensures that not only does the lower edge of the latching tabs engage behind the lower edge of the retaining element, but that lateral shoulder supports are simultaneously provided by the retaining element, which additionally fix the latching tabs.
  • the resilient property of the latching tabs achieved by bending the latching tabs, contributes to the latching tabs being received in the recess and being fixed in it.
  • the cover has a web section which extends horizontally forwards beyond the edge section and is preferably arranged centrally. This web section serves to additionally secure the lid, since the provision of the web section means that it cannot be pushed as far into the container as desired, but is supported with the web section on the front edge.
  • a recess for receiving the web section is formed on the upper edge of the front wall.
  • the recess extends over the front wall and the intermediate layer and the outer layer of the retaining element.
  • This recess then provides a holding area or support area with which the web section can interact. Since the holding area or support area extends over three layers, the web section is fixed particularly well.
  • the recess is preferably U-shaped and thus adapts particularly well to the shape of the web section.
  • the recess extends so deep into the front wall and optionally the inner and outer layers of the retaining element that the outer edge of the locking tabs is located below the lower edge of the retaining element when the web element is in contact with the horizontal surface of the recess .
  • the recess not only corresponds to the material thickness of the web section, but also extends deeper into the front wall. Consequently, in the closed state, the web section does not rest on the horizontal surface of the recess, but rather extends into the recess parallel to the horizontal surface of the latter. In this position, the outer edge of the latching tab is located above the lower edge of the retaining element, so the latching tabs rest on the side facing the inside of the container.
  • the springy property of the snap-in tab ensures that the snap-in tabs remain in their assumed position even if pressure is applied again to the web element, i.e. they always return to their position in the engagement area when the pressure is relieved.
  • Another preferred embodiment can provide that the cover is connected to the side walls via fastening sections.
  • These fastening sections significantly limit the mobility of the cover, since it can only be moved to a predetermined open position in which the cover extends in one plane with the rear wall.
  • the fastening sections also form contact areas which prevent the lid from being pressed in at the sides. The lid is thus additionally stabilized and at the same time access to the container without prior unlocking is prevented.
  • the cover extends beyond the side walls on both sides, so that the cover rests laterally on the upper edge of the side walls and thus additionally fixes the cover.
  • Corresponding lateral elements can be provided in addition to or instead of the fastening sections.
  • the container has an inner retaining element which defines an end position of the edge section of the lid. This feature provides additional security for the edge element and thus for the latching tabs.
  • the inner retention element thus performs a similar function to the web portion of the lid in that it prevents the lid from being pushed indefinitely into the interior of the container.
  • the retaining element can fix the end position of the edge section horizontally and/or vertically. Fixing the edge section horizontally prevents the lid from being pressed down as far as desired into the container.
  • the vertical constraint determines how far the rim portion can be pushed inwardly into the container when the locking tabs are moved inwardly by depressing the wall weakening points. This provides additional security in a simple manner.
  • the retaining element is formed by an intermediate wall that extends between the front wall and the rear wall of the container.
  • horizontal securing of the edge section is provided in a simple manner, with the container being formed with two separate chambers at the same time.
  • the separation into two chambers contributes to the stability of the container, while at the same time providing additional leakage protection if one of the filled, possibly liquid products is leaking. In this case, the leaking product does not spill over the entire contents of the container.
  • the intermediate wall is designed with a holding section which is arranged on an upper edge of the intermediate wall at a predetermined distance from the front wall of the container.
  • This holding section is used to vertically secure the rim section and prevents the rim section from being pushed as far as desired into the interior of the container.
  • the mobility of the edge section can be determined in a simple manner by the selected distance between the holding section and the front wall. It is also possible to influence the mobility by the shape of the holding section or its inclination relative to the front wall.
  • the intermediate wall is preferably positioned in such a way that the holding section is in a position between the two latching tabs in order to ensure optimal pressure distribution on the edge section.
  • the holding section preferably does not extend over the entire height of the edge section, but it is sufficient if the holding section only extends up to a height in the region of the recess of the retaining element.
  • Another preferred embodiment can provide for two weakening lines to be formed in the area of the cover, which extend towards one another from a rear edge of the cover in the direction of the front edge. These weakening lines preferably extend on both sides from a corner region between the rear edge and the adjoining side edge to a position in the vicinity of the side edges of the web element.
  • the provision of two weakening lines particularly fixes and stabilizes the central area of the cover adjoining the rear wall, so that only the lateral areas between the weakening line, front edge and side edge of the cover contribute to initiating the movement or shifting of the snap-on classic. This makes it possible to clearly space the operating areas from each other so that operation by children is excluded.
  • a further preferred embodiment can provide that the container also has an additional open floor pan, comprising a floor and four walls extending vertically upwards from this.
  • a corresponding floor pan not only serves to provide additional protection for the container, so that damage to individual elements does not lead to the container leaking, especially when storing liquid-filled products. At the same time, it is impossible to get inside the container if the bottom flaps are torn open.
  • the intermediate wall can be formed in a region facing the floor adjoining the front wall and rear wall with insertion slots for receiving the floor pan.
  • the floor pan can be additionally fixed. And at the same time, the formation of two chambers can be guaranteed even when the floor pan is provided.
  • the container is made in one piece, in particular from cardboard or the like.
  • a corresponding container can be produced inexpensively, with the environmental aspect coming to the fore. Because it is possible to store a partially given container flat, storage and transportation costs can be minimized. Furthermore, the products can be easily recycled.
  • a container according to the invention is particularly suitable for storing detergent pods, which previously could essentially only be stored in plastic containers.
  • the container according to the invention provides a product that is outstanding from an ecological point of view.
  • the container body 1 comprises a rear wall 2, a first side wall 3, a front wall 4 and a second side wall 5. These four walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 are each rectangular in the illustrated embodiment and are connected to one another via hinge fold lines 6, 7, 8 .
  • the second side wall 5 On its side edge 9 opposite the hinge fold line 8 , the second side wall 5 has an adhesive flap 10 which serves to connect it to the rear wall 2 .
  • the side edge 9 is also designed as a hinge fold line.
  • the adhesive flap 10 not only serves to connect the second side wall 5 to the rear wall 2, but also provides a retaining element 15 in combination with an intermediate wall 11 described below.
  • Each base section 16, 17 is essentially rectangular, in particular designed as an isosceles trapezoid, with the respective long side being formed by the hinge fold line 18 or 19.
  • the two floor sections 16 and 17 form a double-walled floor layer that can be completely glued together.
  • first side wall 3 and the second side wall 5 are each provided with a bottom section 20 and 21 which are connected via the hinge fold lines 22 and 23 to the respective side wall.
  • the two floor sections 20, 21 have such dimensions that they do not form a complete further floor layer when they face each other.
  • the upper edge 26, i.e. the upper edge of the rear wall arranged parallel to the hinge fold line 18, is also designed as a hinge fold line and connects the rear wall 2 to the lid 25.
  • the lid 25 has a shape which, when erected, extends completely over those of the side walls 3 , 5, and front wall 4 and rear wall 6 enclosed opening extends.
  • the cover 25 is at its front edge, ie the opposite edge of the rear wall 2 formed with an edge portion 28 which is erected in the State is angled substantially perpendicular to the lid 25 down and extends parallel to the front wall 4.
  • two locking tabs 30 and 31 are articulated. The position of the two locking tabs 30, 31 and their shape is mirror images of each other.
  • the two latching lugs 30, 31 abut in the area of two side edges which essentially adjoin one another in the middle and each extend over a predetermined area of the outer edge 29 of the edge section.
  • the free side edges of the latching lugs are formed obliquely, so that the lugs extend forward, i.e. from the edge section 29 .
  • the latching tabs can also be arranged at a predetermined distance from one another, so that the central side edges do not directly adjoin one another. Equally, only one continuous latching tab could be provided.
  • the locking tabs 30, 31 are formed with a step at their outer corner, formed between the free side edge and the front edge arranged parallel to the outer edge 29 of the edge section 28, whereby the edge sections in the area adjacent to the front edge be made narrower.
  • the edge sections can be designed with an angled recess in the area of the two adjoining side edges, as a result of which the mobility of the edge tabs is supported.
  • the lid 25 has a web portion 32 which extends out of the lid past the hinge fold line 27 into the skirt portion 28 .
  • This web section 32 is formed centrally and is delimited from the edge section 28 by a cutting line.
  • the web portion 32 is positioned flush with the lid 25 when the rim portion 28 is angled downward.
  • the mobility of the cover 25 is limited on both sides by fastening sections 33, 34 which connect the cover to a side wall 3, 5 respectively.
  • the fastening section 33 is connected to the cover 25 and to the side wall 3 via hinge fold lines 35 , 36 .
  • the hinge fold line 35 extends over a predetermined portion of the lid, approximately halfway in the embodiment shown here of the lid.
  • a cutting line 37 is also formed which extends at a 45° angle both to the hinge fold line 36 and to the hinge fold line 35 . In the erected and closed state, the section delimited by the hinge fold lines 35, 37 rests on the underside of the lid and on the area of the fastening section 33 arranged on the side wall 3.
  • the second fastening section 34 is a mirror image of the first fastening section 33, with the exception that the hinge fold line 9 of the side wall 5 extends into the fastening section 34 and an adhesive flap 38 is arranged in the extension of the hinge fold line 9, via which the fastening section 34 with the lid 25 is connected.
  • the hinge fold line extends parallel to an outer lateral edge of the lid and the tab is fixed to the inside of the lid.
  • a hinge fold line 37 is also provided here, which ensures that the fastening section 34 is folded in.
  • the cover is fixed by the fastening sections 33, 34, so that it is arranged in one plane with the rear wall 2 when the container is in the open state.
  • the fastening sections 33, 34 provide support areas on which the inside of the lid 25 rests.
  • a retaining element 39 is arranged on the upper edge 42 of the front wall 4, comprising two retaining sections 40, 41.
  • the retaining sections 40, 41 are connected to one another via two folding lines 43 arranged parallel next to one another.
  • the fold lines 43 are arranged at such a distance from one another that the retaining section 41 facing away from the front wall can be folded onto the retaining section 40 arranged between the retaining section 41 and the front wall 4 .
  • the outer retaining section 41 When erecting, the outer retaining section 41 is first folded onto the retaining section 40 so that the two inner sides lie on top of each other.
  • the two retaining sections 40 , 41 lying one on top of the other are then folded onto the inside of the front wall 4 so that the retaining element section 41 is arranged between the inside of the front wall 4 and the retaining section 40 .
  • the crease lines 42 are spaced sufficiently far apart that the elements can easily be bent 180°, and remain located in this position without exerting excessive pressure on the upper edge 42.
  • a recess 44 is formed in the area of the retaining element 39 and extends over both retaining sections 40 , 41 .
  • the area of the recess 44 arranged in the retaining section 40 is completely mirrored at the fold line 43 in the retaining section 41 .
  • the area of the recess 44 arranged in the retaining section 41 still extends beyond the mirrored area further into the retaining section 41 .
  • the area of the recess 44 in the retaining section 40 is trapezoidal, comprising an edge 45 arranged parallel to the upper edge 42 of the front wall 4, from which side edges extend away from each other on both sides in the direction of the fold line 43. In the area of the retaining section 41, the side edges then converge again accordingly. However, in contrast to the area of the recess 44 in the area of the retaining section 40, the area of the recess 44 in the retaining section 41 is larger, the horizontal edge 46 is further away from the fold line 43 than the horizontal edge 45. In the erected state, the horizontal Edge 45 is the lower edge of the retaining element 39, whereas the horizontal edge 46 of the retaining portion 41 extends above the lower edge 45, i.e.
  • the horizontal edge 46 is located between the inside of the front wall 4 and the inside of the retaining portion 40, i.e. recessed. This creates a downwardly open engagement section 47 between the retaining element 40 and in the retaining element 41.
  • the retaining element 39 is dimensioned such that the distance between the folding line 42 and the folding line 43 of the retaining section 40 corresponds approximately to the distance between the hinge fold line 27 and the outer edge 29 of the edge section 28 .
  • the recess 44 is also arranged in the area of the two latching tabs 30, 31, i.e. the latching tabs are arranged essentially completely within the recess, with the outer edge of the latching tabs being arranged above the horizontal edge 45 or lower edge of the retaining section 40.
  • a further recess 48 is formed adjacent to the upper edge or fold line 42 and extends into the front wall 4 and the retaining section 40 in a mirror-inverted manner.
  • the recess 48 here has a rectangular shape.
  • the retaining section 41 has a correspondingly designed recess 49 on its outer edge.
  • the two recesses 48, 49 of the layers arranged on top of one another comprise the front wall 4 and the retaining sections 40, 41 form a bearing surface for the web element 32 of the cover 25.
  • the recesses 48, 49 extend further into the front wall 4, as well as the retaining sections 40, 41 than the material thickness of the web element 32.
  • the recess 48, 49 is U-shaped, with the web element 32 extending into the recess and possibly through it when the container 1 is in the assembled state.
  • the outer edge of the snap-in tabs 30, 31, no longer fall on the retaining element 39, they are pushed against the inside of the front wall by their springy property, caused by the snap-in tabs 30, 31 being angled onto the edge section 28 4 pressed. If the load on the web element 32 is then relieved again, the cover assumes its original position again, i.e. the web element 32 is again above the contact surface of the recess 48, 49 and together with the cover the edge section 29 and the locking tabs 30, 31 are pushed back up .
  • the outer edge of the latching tab is hereby pushed upwards along the inside of the front wall 4 and at the same time into the engagement section 47 between the retaining section 40 and the retaining section 41 . As a result, the locking tabs 30, 31 are secured in the engagement portion 47 and the lid can no longer be opened. In this state, the container according to the invention is securely closed.
  • weakened areas are provided both in the area of the cover 25 and in the area of the front wall 4, which enable the locking tabs to be decoupled.
  • two weakening lines 50, 51 are formed in the area of the cover, each extending from a corner between the rear wall 2 and cover 25 to the lateral areas of the Web element 32 extend.
  • the weakening lines 50, 51 can be straight or slightly curved. These weakening lines 50, 51 divide the cover into different areas which have different resistance forces, so that when pressure is exerted on the upper side of the cover, a specific area gives way, ie the cover only moves downwards in a specific area.
  • Each line of weakness 50, 51 is associated with a latching tab so that when pressure is applied, only the latching tab 30, 31 located next to it will move, but the latching tab 30, 31 located next to it will remain in its position under the engaging portion 47.
  • wall weakening points 52, 53 are formed, via which it is possible to move the locking tabs into the interior of the container.
  • the wall weakening points 52, 53 can have any desired shape as long as it is ensured that sufficient influence can be exerted on the locking tabs.
  • the wall weakening points 52, 53 are in the form of a segment of a circle with a stop edge that is horizontal, i.e. parallel to the hinge fold line 42.
  • the wall weakening points 52, 53 are formed here in sections separated from the front wall 4 by cutting lines, and thus have the shape of tab elements. Equally, the wall weakening points can also be designed as passage openings.
  • the wall weakening points 52, 53 make it possible to exert pressure on the latching tabs 30, 31 in a horizontal direction in order to displace them relative to the front wall 4 inside the container.
  • the wall weakening points are formed at a height and at a distance from one another that allows access to only one latching tab 30, 31 at a time, these wall weakening points preferably being arranged at a distance from one another that corresponds at least to the distance between the thumb and forefinger of an adult .
  • the locking tabs 30, 31 can be pushed away from the front side 4 into the interior of the container 1. In this state, the lid can then be moved upwards by actuating the web element 32 and the container can be opened.
  • the adhesive flap 10 is formed between the second side wall 5 and the rear wall 2 with an additional intermediate wall 11 which provides a retaining element 15 .
  • the adhesive flap 10 extends approximately over half the width of the rear wall, so that the partition 11 can divide the container into two chambers that are essentially the same size.
  • the intermediate wall 11 is glued to the inside of the front wall 4 via an adhesive flap 14 . In this position, the intermediate panel extends substantially perpendicularly between the front panel 4 and the rear panel 2 and is angled at the side edges or hinge fold lines 12 and 13.
  • the intermediate wall 11 is designed in such a way that it is arranged essentially close to the ground and extends approximately over half the height of the container 1 .
  • a slot-shaped opening 55, 56 widening downwards towards the floor is formed.
  • the intermediate wall 11 has a holding portion 54 which is formed as a right-angled projection extending upwards.
  • This holding section 54 is arranged in a section of the intermediate wall 11 adjacent to the inside of the front wall 4 . While the intermediate wall 11 is arranged below the retaining element 39, the retaining section 54 extends into the area of the recess 44 formed by the retaining sections 40, 41, but is below the horizontal edge or lower edge 45 of the Arranged retaining portion 40, ie further from the top edge 42 of the front wall 4 spaced.
  • the side edge of the holding portion 54 facing the front wall 4 is formed at a predetermined angle and gradually extends upward away from the front wall.
  • the mobility of the edge section 28 of the lid 25 is restricted by the holding section 54, if pressure is only exerted on a wall weakening point 52, 53 and as a result one of the locking tabs 30, 31 is pushed backwards into the interior of the container, the other locking tab is blocked by the holding section 54 additionally prevented from following this movement, if at all possible. This ensures once again that it is necessary to exert pressure at four points, at two points from above and at two points in the area of the front wall in order to achieve vertical and horizontal movement of the locking tabs and move them out of the secured position in the engagement space 47 to solve.
  • a base tray 100 can be erected, which can be inserted into the container 1 and rests on the bottom of the container.
  • the floor pan 100 comprises a floor 101 which is rectangular and from which four side walls 102, 103, 104 and 105 fold lines 106, 107, 108 and 109 delimiting the floor 101 bend vertically upwards. Between each two adjoining side walls 102, 103, 104 and 105, an angled section 110 is formed which served as an adhesive flap.
  • the angle section is connected to both adjacent side walls and has a center line 111 formed at an angle of 45° to the hinge fold line 106, 107, 108 and 109, which divides the adhesive angle into 2 equal parts.
  • Each wall preferably has a correspondingly glued-on angle bracket.
  • the adhesive flap does not have to be connected to both side walls, but can also be arranged on only one side wall and be glued to the adjacent side wall.
  • An appropriately designed floor pan can be erected by machine and can therefore be manufactured inexpensively.
  • a receiving shoulder 112, 113 is formed in the region of two opposite side walls 102, 104, which shoulder extends in opposite directions from an imaginary center line extending between these side walls.
  • the side walls 102, 104 have a significantly reduced Wall height formed.
  • the wall height gradually increases again.
  • the recessed area of the bearing shoulder 112, 113 cooperates with the insertion slots 55, 56 of the intermediate wall 11 in use. This allows the floor pan to be clamped.
  • the container 1 is first pre-glued, i.e. the adhesive flap 10 is connected to the inside of the rear wall and the adhesive flap 14 of the partition 11 is connected to the inside of the front wall 4. Furthermore, the adhesive tab 38 of the second fastening section 34 is also glued to the inside of the cover 25 . In this pre-glued state, the container can be stored folded flat and therefore takes up little space during storage and transport.
  • the container 1 For filling, the container 1 according to the invention is first erected and the latching tabs 30 , 31 are folded over by 180° so that they lie against the outside of the edge section 28 . Then, the rim portion is folded vertically downward and the rim portion is inserted into the interior of the container, so that the container is closed. In this state, the locking tabs 30, 31 rest against the outside of the retaining section 40 arranged inside the container, i.e. the lid can still be opened if pressure is exerted from below upwards on the web element 32 at the front edge of the lid. Irrespective of this, the lid closes completely with the side edges and the front wall.
  • the container is then placed on the lid and filled from below, i.e. from the bottom.
  • the two chambers formed by the intermediate wall 11 can be filled separately from one another.
  • the previously erected floor pan is then inserted.
  • the recessed seating shoulders 112, 113 allow for easy insertion of the floor pan 100, with the offset seating shoulders 112, 113 ensuring that the tub is held securely between the front, rear and intermediate walls. In the area of the insertion slots 55, 56, additional clamping force is provided here.
  • the floor is then closed and glued.
  • the floor sections 20, 21 arranged on the side walls 3, 5 are folded inwards and then the floor sections 16, 17 arranged on the rear wall 2 and the front wall 4.
  • the combination of individual floor sections 16, 17, 20, 21 and the floor pan 100 provides a particularly thick bottom, which on the one hand can prevent the leakage of liquid from the container, and at the same time also the Difficult to access the interior of the container from below.
  • the leakage of liquid from the container can also be supported by coating the inner wall.
  • the closed box which is now glued in the area of the base and is therefore closed, is turned over so that it stands on the base.
  • a correspondingly finished container is, for example, in figure 3 shown.
  • the container is closed, but not yet secured.
  • the closed, unsecured state is shown schematically in relation to the position of the cover 25, the edge section 28, the locking tab 30, 31 and the opposite retaining element 39, comprising the retaining sections 40, 41 arranged on the inside of the front wall. It is clear here that the locking tab is held between the outside of the edge section 28 and the retaining section 40 . In relation to the width of the front wall 4, the locking tabs 30, 31 extend completely in the area of the recess 44 formed in the retaining element 39.
  • the safety lock is then activated by applying pressure to the cover in the area of the web area 32 (see arrow in the Figures 4b and 5b ) is exercised.
  • the necessary pressure can be generated by simply pressing with one or more fingers.
  • the web area 32 and thus the cover are displaced downwards, at least in the area adjoining the edge area 28, until the underside of the web area has been pressed onto the bearing surface of the recess 48, 49.
  • This movement simultaneously moves the locking tabs 30, 31 downward and releases them from their position between the outside of the edge portion 28 and the retaining portion 40. Due to the resilient property of the latching tabs 30, 31, they fold open, they move away from the edge section 28 and towards the inside of the front wall 4, as in FIG Figure 4b and 5b shown.
  • the release of the latching tabs is typically associated with an audible cue that can be associated with the initiation of locking.
  • the pressure can be ended and the cover returns to its relaxed horizontal position state back.
  • the upwardly moving edge region 28 pulls the latching tabs 30, 31 along the front wall upwards, as a result of which they are automatically drawn into the engagement section 47 and get caught in it.
  • a correspondingly closed container can only be opened if pressure is simultaneously exerted on the areas of the lid 25 lying between the weakening lines 50, 51 and the lateral outer edges and on the wall weakening points 52, 53. These four points are arranged so far apart that they can only be reached by using two hands, the distance between the individual points corresponding to the distance between the thumb and forefinger of an adult hand.
  • the edge tabs are repositioned to their initial position between the outside of the skirt portion 28 and the retaining portion 40 and the lid 25 can be peeled open using the web member 32.
  • the container of the present invention as described above has a lid formed integrally with the container body.
  • the cover is formed as a separate element which is connected in an articulated manner to the rear wall.
