Abstract: A set of at least two containers each having different internal volumes, wherein the opening cross sections of all of the containers are identical, and at least one wall portion of the respective casing of all of the containers in each case has: (1) a rectilinear portion in which, in each vertical projection plane parallel to a vertical axis of the container, the at least one wall portion leaves behind two trace lines which diverge toward the opening cross section and each enclose an angle (?) of at least 2 degrees with the vertical axis, and (2) a transition portion assembled from two arc portions and the intersection curve of which with each vertical projection plane parallel to the vertical axis of the container merges tangentially both into the rectilinear portion and a respective intersection curve of the base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a set (1) consisting of at least two containers (2) each having different internal volumes, wherein the opening cross sections (4) of all of the containers (2) of the set (1) are identical.

Abstract: A lid for a container includes snap-fit hooks for interlocking engagement in complementing latching openings of an outwardly projecting flange of a jacket of the container, and stacking parts disposed on a lower side of the lid close to the periphery for form-fitting engagement in complementing stacking parts on an upper side of a further said lid, when the lids are stacked. The lower side of the lid and the upper side of the further lid have each a central region that forms a contact area via which compressive forces are transmissible in the presence of a contact between the contact areas of the lower side of the lid and the contact area of the upper side of the further lid.

Abstract: A container includes a base, and a jacket adjoining the base and having a peripheral flange which defines an opening cross section which can be closed by a cover. The cover includes first snap-fit hooks distributed about a periphery of the cover for engagement in complementing first latching openings in the peripheral flange to thereby establish a form fit that prevents a movement away from the base and parallel to a vertical axis of the container in perpendicular relation to the base. The peripheral flange has four corner regions, each provided with a second latching opening for engagement of a second snap-fit hook of the cover. The second latching opening has at least one portion configured curved or inclined in relation to both a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis of the container, or has at least two straight portions extending at an inclination in relation to one another.
