Definitions

  • the invention relates to a small container, consisting of a hollow molded body, in particular made of plastic, with an upper part and a lower part, which can be separated to hold objects, with end faces arranged perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, one of which has a projection and the other a recess has, in which the projection of one end surface for producing a releasable connection can be inserted, and with connecting means on the circumference of at least one of the parts of the molded body.
  • Such small containers are used as contents of hollow bodies, e.g. Chocolate eggs, uses and takes items such as Toy parts, on.
  • Such small containers can also contain so-called surprise items.
  • Such a small container is known from GB 14 99 603 A.
  • DE 86 22 192 U shows a small container consisting of a lower and upper part, which has projections on the end faces of the overall cylindrical body, with which a plug connection between the respective projections can be made several small containers. This creates an elongated body, but its usability is very limited.
  • the described combination possibilities of the small containers are not sufficient for use as toys, since only a part or an elongated body or such can only be formed with axes running at right angles to one another.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a small container of the type described at the outset in such a way that a large number of combinations are possible and the small container can be used in a variety of ways as a toy.
  • a small container of the type mentioned in the invention in that a projection is provided in one of the end faces, which contains the recess for receiving the projection of the other of the end faces, and that with each other on the circumference of the at least part of the molded body alternating recesses and elevations are provided, by means of which by engaging at least one elevation in at least one recess a sliding or plug connection on the circumference different moldings can be produced.
  • a small container consisting of a hollow molded plastic body with an upper and lower part, which can be separated to hold objects, the sliding or
  • the projection in one of the end faces with a circular recess and the projection in the other of the end faces are designed button-like for insertion into the recess of the projection in one of the end faces.
  • the small container can be designed so that the projection in one of the end faces of hook elements arranged in a circle with radially inwardly directed hook ends and the projection in the other of the end faces in the form of a circular pot with radially outwardly directed hook elements for insertion into the recess of the projection is formed in the other of the end faces and bayonet-type turning in the connecting position.
  • a special embodiment or development of the invention is that the outer shape of the container by plugging additional parts into the recesses is changed, wherein the additional parts can be transported inside the container and a toy, in particular a figure or a model can be produced by plugging in the additional parts.
  • An advantage of the small container according to the invention is that the containers can be combined in any direction in different directions or dimensions, so that a variety of shapes and constructions can be formed. Another advantage is that a stable and detachable connection between several small containers is made possible. It is also advantageous that food, such as chocolate, and parts such as toys are separated from one another by the small container. The small container does not then fall into waste because it can continue to be used as a toy or building block system. A contribution is made to protecting natural resources and the environment. The structure of several small containers put together is very stable due to the multiple interlocking of the plug connections.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of two small containers of a first embodiment during the insertion process.
  • Fig. 2 shows a plan view of a small container of the first embodiment
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional side view of the small container of Fig. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of two small containers of a second and third embodiment
  • Fig. 5 is a plan view of the small container of the second embodiment according to Fig. 4 ;
  • Fig. 6 is a sectional side view of the small container of the second embodiment shown in Fig. 4;
  • Figure 1 shows the process of pushing the sliding or plug connection of two small containers according to a first embodiment.
  • the small containers are essentially cylindrical and have rounded ends at the end of the long side, which merge into flattened end faces 7.
  • the lateral surfaces 6 are cylindrical.
  • 2 and 3 show the same embodiment in a top view and in a sectional side view.
  • the small containers have a cover-shaped upper part 2 and a lower part 3.
  • the lower part 3 has a retracted edge over which the cover 2 can be put.
  • For locking is the indented edge provided with a bead 9.
  • the cover 2 has a groove 10 to match the bead 9. When the upper part 2 is pushed onto the lower part 3, the annular bead 9 engages in the annular groove 10, so that a locking is achieved.
  • a projection 5 is provided, which consists of hook elements arranged on a circle with radially inwardly directed hook ends.
  • the hook members surround a recess 15.
  • a corresponding projection 5 is provided which is circular pot-like manner with radially outwardly directed hook elements for plugging into the recess 15 and bayonet-like rotation into the connected position having formed '.
  • the circumference of the lower part 3 is thickened in the central area of the lateral surfaces 6.
  • Recesses 4 are provided in the thickened area. These recesses are used to create the sliding connection.
  • a plurality of recesses 4 are arranged continuously at the same distance on the circumference of the container 1.
  • Fig. 8 the functional principle of the sliding connection is shown for clarification.
  • a recess 4 of a container 1 an elevation 8 of another container 1, each of which is formed between two recesses 4, can be fitted.
  • the elevations 8 and recesses 4 are dovetail-shaped, ie provided with inclined walls so that the recess 4 widens towards the bottom and the elevation 8 tapers towards the bottom.
  • a dovetail connection in which the two parts are firmly connected. So that the connection can be inserted or detached, the thickening with the recesses 4 or elevations 8 is provided only in an annular partial region of the lateral surfaces 6, so that an open end of the recesses 4 is created. So that the insertion process can be carried out more easily, the ends of the elevations 8 are chamfered or rounded.
  • the individual small containers can be arranged in different directions in rows or in multiple collapsed forms, e.g. a triangle.
  • FIG. 4 to 6 show a further embodiment of the invention, in which projections 5 which are matched to one another are provided on the end faces 7. 6, a protrusion 5 is provided in the upper part 2, in which a button-like bulge is made in the end face 7.
  • the lower part 3 has a projection 5, which consists of an edge or ring with a circular recess 15, which is larger than the projection 5 of the upper part 2.
  • the upper part 2 can be put together with the lower part 3.
  • a projection 5 is then inserted into the respectively adapted projection 5 of another small container.
  • the sliding connection is provided as shown in FIG. 1. In this way, many small containers can be combined with one another to form complex shapes, connections in the direction of the longitudinal axis and in any transverse direction being possible.
  • Fig. 7 the principle of engaging the sliding connection is illustrated on a top view.
  • the connection is possible at different points and with different angles on the circumference of the small container.
  • the small container can be about 4 to 6 cm long and have a diameter of about 2.5 to 3.5 cm '.
  • Plastic is particularly suitable as material, such as polypropylene or ABS.
  • the wall surfaces are approximately 0.6 to 1.0 mm thick.
  • the projections 5 also consist of thin-walled wall sections with a thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm. In the area of the recesses 4 and elevations 8, the wall thickness is increased and is approximately 2 mm.
  • the upper and lower parts 2, 3 form a flush outer surface after being plugged together.
  • the projections 5 and separation points between the upper and lower part are flat and designed as contact surfaces.
  • the small container can have a rectangular, cuboid or polygonal shape instead of the round, cylindrical shape shown.
  • the projections 5 can also be polygonal or round.
  • the sliding connection with the recesses 4 and projections 8 can be provided on the entire circumference of the container or limited to certain areas.
  • the dimensions of the container can also be enlarged, so that other applications such as storage of writing or kitchen utensils or absorption of liquids are also possible.
