Abstract: A casing for a device that can be used in the domestic, catering, or retail sectors, in one embodiment a refrigerating device, that has two lateral walls, a top wall, and a rear wall. The casing comprises two lateral casing elements for covering the lateral walls of the device, a top casing element for covering the top wall of the device, and a rear casing element for covering the rear wall of the device. The lateral casing elements and the top casing element each have an angled front edge section for engaging around a front edge of the lateral walls and a front edge of the top wall, respectively. Each lateral casing element includes a retaining profile on a face opposite the angled front edge section, the rear casing element being held in said retaining profiles.

Abstract: A container (1), such as a drink container, comprises a body (2) for accommodating fluids, a bottom (10), a side wall (12), a body opening (28), and a first connecting element (32). A fluid-tight closing unit (30) is connectable to the first connecting element (32) in a fluid-tight manner and has a region where a fluid passage to the body can be provided. A mouthpiece module (24) comprises a mouthpiece (26), a fluid line (34), and a unit (36) for creating a fluid passage to the body in the region. By way of a guiding unit, the fluid line (34) and the unit (36) can be transferred from a distance from the region to a position in which a fluid passage through the closing unit (30) and, by way of the fluid line (34), a connection between the body (2) and the mouthpiece (26), is created.

Abstract: A beverage container comprises a body for receiving fluids, having a base, a first side wall adjoining the base, and an opening section adjoining the first side wall and having a discharge opening. The container further comprises a cover module that is placed on or is present on the body and has a second side wall and a cover flap adjacent thereto. When the cover module is present on the body, the first and the second side walls form an outline shape of the container, at least in sections, the diameter of which has at least one maximum. At least one film, at least in regions, rests on the first and second side walls, and extends on one side and an opposite side at the body at the at least one diameter maximum. The film may be a shrink film that is shrunk on the first and second side walls.

Abstract: This invention relates to a base for a plastic bottle, especially for beverages under pressure, comprising an annular heel (6) which preferably is integral with the side wall (2) of the bottle, and a concave section (7) that is surrounded by, and integral with, the heel (6), wherein the concave section (7) comprises reinforcing elements arranged in a star pattern and increasing its rigidity, wherein the reinforcing elements are formed by convex areas (9) of the concave section (7) and the concave section (7) including the convex area (9) have essentially the same wall thickness.

Abstract: An in particular frustoconical hollow body (1) which can be stabilized by positive air pressure and which can be anchored to a base support (30) by way of bracing means is composed of a plurality of flexible material webs (4 to 12) which each extend in the peripheral direction of the hollow body (1). The mass in relation to surface area of the material webs (4 to 12) varies over the length of the hollow body (1).
