- and
- a cover that is positionable on said base in a position in which at least one item is visible and removable from the base,
- wherein at least one wall of the base or cover includes at least one cut-out portion or slot that is arranged to receive a continuous edge of at least one wall of the other of the cover or base,
- wherein the cover overhangs or protrudes from the base when the cover is in the position and the continuous edge of the at least one wall of the cover or the base is received in the at least one cut-out portion or slot, and
- wherein the base comprises front, rear, side and bottom walls, and at least one wall of the base includes the cut-out portion or slot to receive a wall of the cover when the cover is in the position.
A set of containers comprising:
- a first container for storing and displaying one or more items;
- and
- a second container for storing and displaying one or more items, the second container being positionable on said first container in a position in which at least one item is visible and removable from the first container,
- wherein at least one wall of the first container or second container includes at least one cut out or slot arranged to receive at least one wall of the other of the first container or the second container,
- wherein the second container overhangs or protrudes from the first container when the second container is in the position, and
- wherein the at least one portion is a cut out or slot, and the wall of the first container or the second container is received in the cut-out portion or slot of the first container or the second container.
A container comprising:
- a base portion for storing and displaying one or more items and an integral cover portion,
- wherein the container is configurable between a closed position the base portion is covered by the cover portion, and an open position in which at least one item is visible and removable from the base portion,
- wherein the cover portion is rotatable relative to the base portion from the closed position to the open position, the cover portion including an attachment area in detachable connection to the base portion when in the closed position, and a mounting area in which a second container is mountable when in the open position.
The container as claimed in clown 17, wherein the cover portion has an upper wall with front and side walls depending from the upper wall, wherein in the open position the upper wall of the cover portion is inverted and its front and side walls project upwardly from the inverted upper wall.
A container comprising:
- a base portion for storing and displaying one or more items and an integral cover portion,
- wherein the cover is movable to an open position in which at least one item is visible and removable from the base portion,
- wherein the cover portion is rotated relative to the base portion to the open position in which a mounting area is exposed,
- a second container is mountable in the mounting area.
A container for storing and displaying items, the container comprising:
- a base having a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall and a right side wall defining an interior volume in which items may be stored and displayed the left and right side walls of the base having mounting formations allowing for countability of a second container offset rearwardly relative to the base on which it is mounted so that the base is only partially covered by the second container to allow items stored in the base to be seen and accessed.
A container for storing and displaying items, the container comprising:
- a base having a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall and a right side wall defining an interior volume in which items may be stored and displayed;
- a cover including a front wall, a rear wall, left and right side walls, and an upper surface, the front wall, rear wall, and left and right side walls;
- a pair of opposing flaps projecting from the side walls of the cover, wherein the cover, when removed from the base and placed inverted on a surface, is positionable with the base such that the flaps of the cover are engaged in cut out slots of the base to secure the base to the cover with at least a portion of the interior volume exposed.
