Abstract (en)
A stackable front-opening box consists of a base (1) closed at the top by a lid (2), the base (1) including a front panel (1a) hinged thereto and means (7) to retain in the closed position the front panel (1a), as well as magnetic coupling means arranged at corresponding positions in the bottom panel (1b) of the base and on the lid (2), said means being preferably corner reinforcements (3) of ferromagnetic material arranged on the lid (2) and magnets (4) arranged at the corners of the bottom panel (1b). In this way, when a plurality of boxes are stacked the magnets 4 contained in the base 1 of each box magnetically engage the corner reinforcements 3 of the lid 2 of the underlying box and the boxes are securely stacked since they can not slide one with respect to the other.
