Container

Abstract

The invention is related to a container ( 1 ) with a container wall ( 2 ), a container bottom ( 3 ), and a container opening ( 4 ), where the container wall ( 2 ) extends essentially conically from the bottom to the opening and the inner side of the container wall ( 2 ) displays axially oriented stacking ribs ( 5 ), distributed around the circumference. According to the invention the container is designed in that the radially outer area of the outer side of the container bottom ( 3 ) is provided with at least one recess ( 10 ) which, when stacking multiple containers ( 1 ) in each other, can be engaged by at least one stacking rib of a container ( 1 ) located beneath it, thereby fixing the containers ( 1 ) in place in non-rotating fashion relative to each other. Hereby, the stability of the arrangement of stacked containers is improved.

1 . Container with a container wall, a container bottom, and a container opening, where the container wall extends essentially conically from the bottom to the opening and the inner side of the container wall displays axially oriented stacking ribs, distributed around the circumference, characterized in that the radially outer area of the outer side of the container bottom is provided with at least one recess which, when stacking multiple containers in each other, can be engaged by at least one stacking rib of a container located beneath it, thereby fixing the containers in place in non-rotating fashion relative to each other. 
   
   
       2 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer side of the container bottom is provided with recesses distributed around the circumference to match the stacking ribs, which can each be engaged by a stacking rib of a container located beneath, whereby the containers can be fixed in place in a manner preventing rotation about the container axis. 
   
   
       3 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the radially outer area of the outer side of the container bottom displays an axially projecting, essentially continuous foot that, at points appropriately distributed over its circumference, displays interruptions forming the recesses on the container bottom. 
   
   
       4 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that at least three stacking ribs are provided. 
   
   
       5 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that four stacking ribs are provided, which are each arranged at an angle of 90° to the nearest adjacent stacking ribs, and the recesses on the container bottom are arranged similarly. 
   
   
       6 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the stacking ribs extend from the container bottom. 
   
   
       7 . Container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the stacking ribs have a radial width corresponding to between one and three times the wall thickness of the container in this area. 
   
   
       8 . Container according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the stacking ribs have a radial width corresponding to between once and twice the wall thickness of the container in this area.
