Abstract
A generally dish-shaped container has a projection or projections at its mouth edge, and a recess or recesses in its bottom or its base, whereby such containers can be secured together to form a structure on a building block principle, by interengagement of the projection and recess. The structure can be formed by securing containers together in pairs at their mouth edges, and then securing two or more pairs together by means of the projection and recess interengagement.
Claims8
A container comprising a generally dish-shaped side wall being formed with a peripheral, laterally projecting free edge at the mouth thereof;
- recess means formed in said bottom wall means and being entirely within the confines of said bottom wall means, said recess means being sufficiently large that a pair of containers can be superposed mouth-to-mouth and the adjoining projecting edges of said pair of containers engaged into similar recess means in another container, whereby a plurality of such containers can be combined together on a building block principle to form a large structure.
A container having a generally conical side wall and a flat bottom wall, a pedestal base extending below said bottom wall, said side wall being formed at the mouth thereof with a plurality of arcuate, circumferentially spaced projections the ends of which are formed with beads, recess means formed in the bottom of said pedestal base and entirely within the confines thereof;
- said recess means being cross-shaped in cross section and being sufficiently large that a pair of containers can be superposed mouth-to-mouth and the adjoining projections of said pair of containers engaged into one leg of a similar cross-shaped recess means in another container, whereby a plurality of such containers can be combined together on a building block principle to form a large structure.
