Abstract
A container for storage, transport and dispensing of products. The container is convertible between a first configuration A suitable for storage and transport, and a second configuration B suitable for display. The containers can be interlocked with each other and supported on a support system. A blank for the construction of the container, a support system for the container, and an adaptor for adapting a substantially horizontal shelf to take the containers are also described.

A container (200) for the storage, transport, display and dispensing of products, said container (200) comprising:
- opposing top (201) and bottom panels (202) separated by a height H;
- at least one sidewall (203, 204, 205, 206) extending between said top (201) and bottom panels (202),
- a dispensing opening (210) located in a portion of a front panel (203) in the region adjacent to said bottom panel (202), and extending into a portion of said bottom panel (202), said dispensing opening (210) having a height H1 in the front panel (203) which is less than the height H of the container (200),
- characterised in that
- the container (200) comprises at least one protrusion (214) for selective releasable cooperation with one of a container support system (300), an adaptor (500) or an identical container (200), said at least one protrusion (214) being integrally formed with at least one of said top panel (201), bottom panel (202) or at least one sidewall (203, 204, 205, 206);
- such that, in a first configuration A, said at least one protrusion (214) is accommodated within said at least one of said top panel (201), bottom panel (202) or at least one sidewall (203, 204, 205, 206);
- and, in a second configuration B, said at least one protrusion (214) extends from said at least one sidewall (203, 204, 205, 206) in a direction opposite to said dispensing opening (210)
- and that—in the front panel (203) in which it is located—the dispensing opening (210) extends along the entire edge defined by the front panel (203) and the bottom panel (202) of the container (200).
