Abstract
A transportable container includes at least one end plate and four side walls and which defines, in at least one configuration for use, at least one internal compartment for the placement of utensils, tools and objects in general. The container includes an interlocking coupling unit for the plate and at least one of the side walls; the unit includes at least one first profiled element, which is associated with one side of the plate and defines at least one first groove for guiding and partial accommodation of one of the side walls. The unit also includes at least one second profiled element, which is substantially perpendicular to the plate and defines at least one rail for guiding and partial coupling of the side wall.

A transportable container, comprising at least one end plate and four side walls and which defines, in at least one configuration for use, at least one internal compartment for the placement of utensils, tools and objects in general, and further comprising an interlocking coupling unit for said plate and at least one of said side walls, said unit comprising at least one first profiled element, which is associated with one side of said plate and defines at least one first groove for guiding and partial accommodation of one of said side walls, and at least one second profiled element, which is substantially perpendicular to said plate and defines at least one rail for guiding and partial coupling of said side wall, said unit comprising at least one barb, which protrudes stably from said plate and faces toward said second profiled element, said at least one barb being engaged in an interlocking fashion with a respective contoured portion of said side wall, for stable coupling between said plate and said at least one wall.
A method for providing a transportable container, which comprises at least one end plate and four side walls and defines, in at least one configuration for use, at least one internal compartment for the placement of utensils, tools and objects in general, comprising the steps of:
- a. arranging said end plate, which is provided with at least one first profiled element, which is comprised in an interlocking coupling unit for said plate, and said at least one wall, said first profiled element being associated with one side of said plate and defining at least one first groove for guiding and partial accommodation of one of said side walls;
- b. arranging at least one second profiled element, which is comprised in said unit and defines at least one rail for guiding and partial coupling of said at least one side wall, perpendicularly to said plate and facing toward a barb, which is comprised in said unit and stably protrudes from said plate;
- c. guiding said at least one side wall along said rail up until its partial accommodation in said first groove of said first profiled element and up until the simultaneous interlocking engagement of a respective contoured portion thereof with said barb, for stable coupling between said plate and said at least one wall.
