Abstract (en)

The container which may have a quadrangular, rectangular or hexagonal profile, conforming a bottle, can or the like, has the characteristic that, in its side faces and alternately in the cross direction, complementary recesses and protuberances intended are provided for the co-lateral coupling and interlocking of the containers so that they can be transported without having to package them. The container may have an upper extension formed by two co-axial necks interconnected by a tubular portion, the upper neck forming a sort of bowl to fill the container, the closing operation being done by heat-sealing through said intermediary tubular portion. Said container has in its bottom a recess for housing said upper part defined by the two necks so as to stabilize the stack of containers. The container may have a small neck with its corresponding cap and a handle not communicating with the inside of the container, the neck with the cap and handle being housed in the recess closed at the periphery and provided in the bottom of the container itself. <IMAGE>
