Container system

A container system constructed of a plurality of similarly configured components adapted to form a generally octahedron shaped container for objects, the container system being in a convenient, attractive and economical manner comprising, in combination:

• four components that are circles, each of the components having a front surface and a rear surface with a completely circular periphery at a common radius, each of the components having six contiguous segments, each of the segments constituting a unique 60 degrees of the periphery, each of the components being fabricated of card stock paper with a coating;
• three non-contiguous segments on the front surface with an arcuate first edge designating three similarly sized and shaped reception areas, each first edge having a radius of curvature equal to the radius of the circular periphery, all of the reception areas and all of the coupling area being of the same size and same shape;
• three additional non-contiguous segments on the rear surface circumferentially intermediate the three non-contiguous reception areas of the front surface with an arcuate second edge designating three similarly sized and shaped coupling areas, each second edge having a radius of curvature equal to the radius of the circular periphery;
• and
• an adhesive on each of the three coupling areas of each component with eight coupling areas in joining contact with eight reception areas of three different adjacent components and with eight reception areas in joined contact with eight coupling areas of three different adjacent components to thereby form a container with an open top for receiving an object, the components adapted to be creased and maintained in a flat orientation prior to the minority of the coupling areas being adhesively coupling to reception areas, each coupling area is covered by a peel strip, the peel strip being adapted to be removed to expose the adhesive prior to use;
• whereby the remaining four coupling areas and the remaining four reception areas when joined form a generally octahedron shaped container from two similarly configured pyramids, each pyramid having four similarly sized and shaped equilateral triangles with a square base and with the square bases of the pyramids constituting a common medial plane and with each pyramid having an apex equally spaced from the median plane.
