ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a self-supporting storage container which includes a bottom wall which is provided with a series of slits. These slits are preferably provided in the region of the bottom wall near a free, unconnected edge, and parallel to such free edge, in a step offset downward by an amount equal to the thickness of the bottom wall. The invention further includes a support strip attached to the aforesaid step and insertion studs, the heights of which are equal to the height of the support strip. The insertion studs and detent tongues, on the enclosing wall or on a connecting edge of the bottom wall of a receptacle element, are capable of engagement as retaining members. Each receptacle element of the invention is made up of a rear wall, a bottom wall and a side wall and has retaining members at the free edges of the bottom wall and the rear wall which are opposite to the side wall. Each receptacle element also has retaining members at the connecting edges of the bottom wall and the rear wall, which are attached to the side wall, where the retaining members fit inside each other as pairs. An enclosing wall is also provided as part of the invention, which includes corresponding retaining members. The enclosing wall may also be used to sub-divide receptacle elements of the invention.
