Abstract
A container has a bottom and side walls extending from the bottom towards a circumferential container edge. The container edge is provided with a damping portion on at least one container corner. The damping portion is designed and adapted to at least partially dissipate an impact acting on the container corner while undergoing elastic and/or plastic deformation.
Claims16
A container comprising a bottom and side walls that extend from the bottom towards a circumferential container rim,
- the container rim comprising at least one container corner, a damping portion configured and adapted to at least partially dissipate an impact acting on the at least one container corner while undergoing at least one of an elastic deformation and a plastic deformation.
A container comprising:
- a bottom and side walls that extend from the bottom towards a circumferential container rim;
- a support structure arranged vertically below the container rim;
- and
- a support rib extending vertically or perpendicularly to the bottom and below the container rim in proximity to at least one container corner, said support rib connecting the container rim to the support structure,
- the support rib comprising a recess pointing inwards, said recess allowing at least one of the elastic deformation and the plastic deformation in response to the impact acting on the at least one container corner.

A container comprising:
- a bottom and side walls that extend from the bottom towards a circumferential container rim;
- and
- a shock absorber on an outer side of at least one of the side walls,
- the shock absorber being arranged in a container height direction below the container rim and projecting from said outer side at least to such an extent that the shock absorber is tangent to or intersects a plane spanned between a first outer edge of the bottom and a second outer edge of the container rim of said at least one of the side walls, so that during a tilting movement of the container about the first outer edge, the shock absorber hits a flat bottom before the container rim,
- the shock absorber being hollow,
- a clearance being formed between the shock absorber and an outer surface of said at least one of the side walls shielded by the at least one of the side walls, and
- the shock absorber tapering in a direction away from an interior of the container, so that the shock absorber is configured and adapted to at least partially dissipate the impact while undergoing at least one of the elastic deformation and/or the plastic deformation.
