  • Publication number: 20230312172
    Abstract: A plastic container (1) has a first base and four side walls (13, 14) projecting perpendicularly upwards with a circumferential edge (15) on the upper edge of said walls and a circumferential rib (16) of the lower end of said walls. According to the invention, the container (1) includes a second base (17), which is arranged on the underside of the first base and encloses same. A flat base surface (18, 20) of the second base (17) extends parallel to the first base and beyond the extent of the first base to the extent of the outer ends of the circumferential rib (16) on the side walls (13, 14). A frame (19) on the second base (17) having a circumferential wall (22) extends to the circumferential rib (16) and encloses the lateral edges of the first base. The plastic container (1) can be placed in high-bay warehouses having narrow, rail-like shelves and can be centered and reliably stacked by means of elongate centering elements on the edge (15) and recesses (26) in the second base (17).

  • Patent number: 10239661
    Abstract: A container for storage and transport of goods includes four sidewalls which surround a first planar bottom and have on their upper end a rim. A second bottom with a multiplicity of bottom ribs is connected to the first bottom by welding the bottom ribs of the second bottom with the first bottom. At least two opposite sidewalls of the container have each a projection which extends away from a sidewall and at a predetermined distance from the sidewall extends parallel to the sidewall in the direction of the bottom of the container. The projection has a horizontal end face which extends parallel to the area of the upper rim of the sidewall, with the horizontal end face extending at a level underneath the bottom plate of the first bottom.

  • Patent number: 9981778
    Abstract: A container includes a bottom, lateral walls, and a device for dividing the interior of the container. The device has a groove at each opposing lateral wall and a partition. Each groove extends from an upper edge of the lateral wall over a part of the height of the lateral wall. Each groove and the end faces of the partition have a cross-sectional shape transverse to their longitudinal extension, so that the end face of the partition and each groove can be united by a form-fit. Each groove can have an undercut.
