DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The container shown in FIG. 2, consists of a lower part 1 for storing the contents, and a cap 2, which in the illustrated embodiment is screwed onto the thread 3 at the upper edge of the lower part 1 of the container. Instead of a thread, a quick-release fastener or other known method of fastening the lid can also be used

Second

In the exemplary embodiment shown, opposing surfaces 4 are formed on the lower part of the bottom part, forming the pedestal containers on its outer periphery, which at the same time are the surfaces when stacking the individual receptacles together, as shown in FIG. 1 and 4.

Opposite side surfaces 4 at the same time forming the base surfaces can be formed over the entire height of the container, including the lid 2, if another method of fastening the lid 2, for example a quick-lock, is used instead of the screw cap. The side surface 4 serving as a support surface for stacking the containers together may also be formed on only one side of the outer, otherwise circular periphery of the container.

As shown in FIG. 3 and 5, the lower part of the lower container part 1 is circumferentially surrounded by an additional wall 5,

4 which is located at a radial distance from the bottom part 1 of the container. The additional wall 5 extends approximately half the height of the container bottom part 1 and is fitted or shaped on a radially spaced flange or on a peripheral partition 6. The additional wall 5 extends perpendicularly downwards, almost to the outer bottom wall of the container bottom part 1 is shown in FIG. 5. The side walls 4 are formed on the additional wall 5 so that the lower part 1 of the container retains a round shape, as in conventional embodiments of these containers. If the circumferential partitions 6 are formed individually, they can also be separable.

The bottom part 1 of the container is preferably made of plastic, wherein the additional wall 5 can be molded, while the lid 2 is preferably made of sheet metal, but can also be made of other materials, for example plastic. The additional wall 5 with the side faces 4 can also be made as a separate component, which can be pressed or fastened to the bottom part 1 of the container in another way.

The inner diameter of the additional wall 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the upper part of the lower part 1 of the container, provided with a thread 3, or it can be coincident with it (Fig. 6). so that an annular space 7 is formed between the additional wall 5 and the outside of the container bottom part 1, into which the upper part of the other container bottom part 1, provided with a thread 3, can be inserted. 6, the bottom portions 1 of the plurality of containers may be stacked, respectively. stacked, stacked on top of each other. This stacking of empty containers brings considerable advantages not only in production and distribution, but also in their handling in an automatic filling machine.

As shown in FIG. 6, when stacking the containers, the additional walls 5 of the lower part 1 are located one above the other, the centering of the lower parts 1 of the containers being effected by abutting the thread 3 on the inner periphery of the additional wall 5. As shown in FIG. 5, in the annular space 7, a shoulder 8 is formed on the outer periphery of the container bottom part 1, onto which, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper edge of another container bottom part 1 abuts. This results in better stability of the stacked containers.

The double-walled canister bottom part 1 can also be made without the side surfaces 4, which allow stacking of the canister bottom parts 1. Conversely, the lateral surfaces 4, respectively. the base surfaces may be formed on the container body itself, for example by flattening the container body, which are thus not provided with an additional wall 5. However, it is preferred that the side surfaces are formed on the additional wall 5 as shown in the respective figures.

According to the invention, further variants of the container design are possible. The additional wall 5 need not be formed over the entire circumference of the container bottom part 1, but only on a portion thereof, thereby allowing stacking of the containers on top of one another. The shape of the additional wall 5 may also be formed in a manner other than that shown in the accompanying drawings. For example, the outer periphery of the additional wall 5 may be provided with a knurling which facilitates handling of the container when the lid 2 is screwed on. The side surfaces 4, which also serve as support surfaces for stacking the containers, serve the same purpose. The additional wall 5 as shown in FIG. 9 may be polygonal.

While in the embodiment with the side surfaces 4 of the otherwise spherical container, in the solution according to the invention, the additional wall 5 can also be placed on the container in a non-spherical shape, e.g.

The add-on wall 5 with two opposing side faces 4 can also be formed as part of the package, in that the molded add-on wall 5 made, for example, of cardboard or other material, is detachably mounted on the container bottom 1 for presentation or easier filling of the bottom part 1 of the container. The additional wall 5 also has a protective function.

In FIG. 7 is a side and cross-sectional view of a container with a separate additional wall 5, constructed as a specially made circular body, which is, as shown in FIG. 7, mounted on the container. For this purpose, a resilient, deformable flap 9 is formed on the inner periphery of the additional wall 5 by means of which the annular body is seated on the periphery of the container.

Fig. 8 is shown from the exemplary embodiments of the container bottom 1, on whose circumference the projections 10 are formed at certain intervals at the intervals of the flaps 9, the flaps 9 project into their interstices when the auxiliary wall 5 is fitted. 5 and the container bottom 1.

With such a latching connection, it is possible to adjust the circular body of the additional wall 5 with respect to the container body, for example, so that its side surface 4 corresponds to the description on the container lid 2. For this, it is sufficient if only a few protrusions 10 or ribs are formed on the periphery of the container.

The existence of a separate circular additional wall 5 which can be mounted on the container also has the advantage that different shapes of the additional wall 5 can be used for otherwise round containers. Different customers can thus be supplied with containers with different shapes if different containers are present on different containers. ring bodies of different designs to be mounted.
