    The present invention relates to a stackable crate for receiving and transporting objects and for stacking on top of one another in a stacking direction with at least one other crate of the same type, the crate comprising a base and a protruding from the base and at least partially, in particular completely, surrounding the base Has side wall, the bottom and the side wall together delimit a receiving space of the box for receiving the objects, wherein at least two spaced apart adapters for mechanically gripping the box by means of at least one gripping device are arranged in the side wall.
    Boxes of this type are intended not only to be lifted and relocated by hand, but also to be able to be gripped by a mechanical gripper in order to lift, transport or move them in another way. In the prior art, special boxes and also special gripping devices were developed for mechanical gripping. In the literature, these boxes are also referred to as small load carriers, small load carriers, euro boxes, euro standard containers, euro standard boxes and the like. The gripping devices for mechanical gripping of the boxes are each adapted to the special boxes. There are boxes and associated gripping devices which engage on the outer sides of the side walls. There are also boxes in which the adapters in the side wall are designed as recesses or holes into which the gripping device can engage for mechanical gripping of the box.
    A disadvantage of the prior art is that in the previously known stackable boxes of the type mentioned, only a single box can be gripped mechanically by means of the gripping device.

    The object of the invention is therefore to provide a stackable box, in which the box individually but also a stack of such boxes can be gripped mechanically by means of a gripping device.
    To achieve this object, it is provided in a stackable box of the type mentioned above that the adapters in the side wall are each designed as channels extending longitudinally in a direction of longitudinal extension parallel to the stacking direction, the channels each having an inlet opening and an outlet opening and in between one , of a channel boundary wall of the box and longitudinally extending in the respective longitudinal direction, have channel interior cavity for leading the gripping device through the inlet opening and the channel interior cavity and the outlet opening.
    In boxes according to the invention, the gripping devices for machine gripping of the individual box and also a stack or part of a stack of such boxes can thus pass through the inlet opening, the channel cavity and the outlet opening of the respective channel in the side wall of the box or in the case of the stack or part of the stack of boxes. As a result, a single box can be gripped mechanically in order to then lift, transport or move it in another way. In the case of boxes stacked one on top of the other in the stacking direction, the gripping directions can, however, also each be guided through a plurality of aligned channels of the various boxes stacked one above the other, so that two or more boxes can be gripped mechanically by means of the gripping devices. This makes it possible to grip several boxes stacked one on top of the other in order to then lift, transport or otherwise move them. For this purpose, the gripping devices can, as is known per se, be attached to corresponding industrial robots or other lifting devices such as cranes and the like. The invention also allows a different number of boxes stacked on top of one another to be mechanically gripped simultaneously. Above all, it is possible

    to grasp only a part of the crates of a stack of crates mechanically, by simply guiding the gripping devices only through the channels of the crates which are to be gripped. This has created the possibility of mechanically gripping any number of boxes in one gripping process, that is to say simultaneously.
    In addition to the stackable box itself, the invention also relates to an arrangement of boxes according to the invention stacked one on top of the other, in which it is provided that at least two of the channels each align one of the boxes with one channel of the box arranged below and / or above it for guiding the gripping devices through are arranged.
    A method for mechanically gripping stacked boxes according to the invention preferably provides that at least two gripping devices are each guided through the channels of the stacked boxes stacked in alignment with one another. It is then also advantageously provided that the gripping devices are, preferably, only in the bottom of the crates to be gripped, stacked on top of one another and fixed in a form-fitting and / or frictionally releasable manner. Once this has been done, the crates of the stack can be lifted and transported or otherwise moved at the same time by machine. However, a single box can be gripped and lifted, transported, etc. just as well.
    Stackable boxes according to the invention could also be referred to as transport and / or storage boxes or generally as containers or transport containers. Even if they are designed for mechanical gripping by means of at least one gripping device, they can of course also be conveniently gripped and transported by hand.
    The term mechanical gripping is to be understood in its general meaning to mean that a box is physically contacted by means of a gripping device in such a way that it can be

    in other words, machine-contacted or machine-touched condition can be lifted, transported or moved in another way with the gripping devices.
    Stackable boxes according to the invention can be used in very different areas. In principle, it is conceivable to use such stackable boxes for storing, washing and transporting dishes, glasses and the like. However, such machine-accessible stackable boxes according to the invention are particularly preferably used in an industrial environment in order to store, transport, wash and similar objects which are to be processed, manufactured or manufactured in industry. The minimum load capacity of stackable boxes according to the invention is advantageously at least 10 kg, particularly preferably 25 kg per box. Depending on the area of use, stackable boxes according to the invention can also have very different dimensions. These are preferably boxes with a rectangular or square basic shape. Based on the external dimensions, the length ____ = _____ ^ is advantageously in the range from 10 cm to 120 cm, preferably. From 25 cm to 65 cm, and its width in the range from 10 cm to 100 cm, preferably 25 cm to 45 cm. In preferred variants, the height of the box is in the range from 3 cm to 25 cm, preferably from 4 cm to 15 cm.
    Crates according to the invention can consist of different materials or material compositions. It can be metal boxes but also plastic boxes. Even wooden or composite boxes are conceivable. In any case, it is preferably provided that the stackable box is formed in one piece. This then also means that the side wall and the bottom are then integrally connected to one another and consist of the same material. For example, The boxes according to the invention can be made of a suitable plastic, e.g. Trade polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Boxes according to the invention can e.g. are manufactured by injection molding.

    Boxes according to the invention have a bottom which delimits the receiving space of the box, into which the objects can be placed, together with the peripheral side wall. The box with the floor is usually placed on the ground so that the objects in the recording room lie on the floor. The floor therefore usually forms the support surface for the objects in the receiving space of the box. To the sides, the receiving space is delimited by the peripheral side wall of the box. The side wall, when closed, can completely surround the floor. However, it can also be made up of several components which are interrupted. Even then it can still be a peripheral side wall. Both the side wall and the bottom can be designed as self-contained surfaces. However, it is equally possible to provide grid-like structures in the floor and / or in the side wall, that is to say openings, windows, reinforcing ribs and the like. In preferred embodiments, the peripheral side wall is composed of corner areas and, preferably straight, side wall sections running between the corner areas. In preferred embodiments, the side wall can have a rectangular basic shape in a plan view of the box. The term rectangular is not only to be understood in the strict mathematical sense. It also includes configurations in which the side wall sections in principle converge at a right angle in the corner area, but the corner area itself nevertheless has roundings and the like, etc.
    In any case, boxes according to the invention are designed such that they can be stacked on top of one another together with other boxes of the same type in a stacking direction. As is known per se in the prior art, the stacking direction is generally predetermined by the shape of the box or its base and its side wall. For example, the floor can protrude beyond the side wall, so that this protruding area of the bottom of a box can be placed in the upper area of the receiving space of the box below it, i.e. in the area which is surrounded by the side wall, so that the bottom of the upper box faces the Form-fitting sides from the side wall of the lower box

    This also automatically results in the corresponding stacking direction in which the boxes have to be stacked on top of one another. In the case of boxes with several possible stacking directions, the features according to the invention must be implemented with respect to at least one stacking direction so that it is a box according to the invention.
    In preferred embodiments of boxes according to the invention, it is provided that the bottom forms an upper, in particular flat, boundary surface with which it delimits the receiving space. The stacking direction is then advantageously normal to this upper boundary surface of the floor. In other words, the stacking direction then forms a surface normal to this upper boundary surface of the floor. In an operating position of the box, the upper boundary surface of the bottom delimits the receiving space of the box downwards, while the side wall delimits the receiving space in this position of the box to the sides hm, that is to say in horizontal directions. The boundary surface is spanned from the top of the floor. This also applies if the base is lattice-shaped or the like. The upper, in particular flat, boundary surface is the surface on which, in the operating position, the objects stored in the box in the receiving space lie. When defining the invention, the stacking direction is used here as a reference direction at several points. As an alternative to the stacking direction, the above-mentioned, in particular flat, boundary surface of the floor could also be used as a geometric reference, it then having to be assumed that the stacking direction forms a surface normal to this upper boundary surface of the floor, that is to say orthogonally on all sides on the upper boundary surface of the floor stands.
    Crates according to the invention can be open at the top, that is to say on the side of the side wall facing away from the floor. In other words, such boxes have an upwardly open receiving space. In principle, however, stackable boxes according to the invention can of course also be closed with a lid on the side of the receiving space opposite the floor by attaching a corresponding lid on this side of a side wall.

    The first exemplary embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 19, is discussed below. The following description of the further exemplary embodiments then focuses on the differences from the first exemplary embodiment.
    The box 1 according to the invention of the first exemplary embodiment is stacked in FIGS. 1 to 11 in the stacking direction 2 on another box 1 according to the invention of the same type. FIGS. 12-19 show this box 1 of the first exemplary embodiment individually or partial areas thereof.
    The box 1 has a base 3 and a side wall 4 which projects beyond the base 3 parallel to the stacking direction 2 and in this exemplary embodiment is completely formed around the base 3. The bottom 3 and the side wall 4 together delimit the receiving space 5 of the box 1, which for

    Inclusion of items in the box is provided. In the operating position, e.g. 1 and 2, seen, the receiving space 5 is bounded downwards by an upper, here flat boundary surface 17 of the bottom 3. The stacking direction 2 forms a surface normal to this upper boundary surface 17 of the bottom 3. In other words, the stacking direction 2 is normal to the upper boundary surface 17 of the bottom 3 3 of the respective upper box 1 must be inserted into the upper area of the receiving space 5 of the lower box 1 surrounded by the side wall 4. Like this e.g. 2, this results in a positive connection in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction 2. This has the consequence that the boxes 1 have to be stacked on top of one another in the stacking direction 2 and the respective top box or boxes for stacking 1 against the stacking direction 2 must or must be lifted from the respective lower box or boxes 1. As already explained at the beginning, both the bottom 3 and the side wall 4 can be designed as self-contained surfaces. This is not the case in this embodiment. Here, both the bottom 3 and the side walls 4 each have openings or openings. In this exemplary embodiment, the base 3 is formed by a lattice-shaped structure. The side wall 4 has a multiplicity of window-like openings. All of this is of course only shown by way of example and can also be carried out in other ways known per se. Above all, as far as necessary for the intended application, reinforcing ribs and the like can be formed both on the bottom 3 and on the side wall 4. The boxes 1 shown here have a rectangular basic shape with four corner regions 16 which are rounded in this exemplary embodiment. In each case, side wall sections 21 run between corner regions 16. In the embodiment variants shown here, side wall 4, which runs completely around floor 3, is thus formed from four corner regions 16 and the preferably straight side wall sections 21 running between them. Of course, boxes 1 according to the invention are also conceivable and possible with a basic shape that is not rectangular, but differently designed. This one

    realized, preferred side wall sections 21 are each straight or linear. They meet at an orthogonal angle in the corner areas 16 in each case on an adjacent side wall section 21. Of course, this does not have to be the case either. For example, The number of corner regions 16 and the number and shape of the side wall sections 21 can of course also be designed differently.
    The boxes 1 are designed with spaced apart adapters for mechanical gripping of the box 1 by means of at least one gripping device 6. According to the invention, the adapters in the side wall 4 are each designed as channels 8 which are elongated in a longitudinal direction 7 extending parallel to the stacking direction 2, the channels 8 each having an inlet opening 9 and an outlet opening 10 and in between one being delimited by a channel boundary wall 11 of the box 1 and in the have respective 'longitudinal direction 7 of longitudinal channel interior cavity 12 for passing the gripping device 6 through the inlet opening 9 and the channel interior cavity 12 and the outlet opening 10. The channel boundary wall 11 is advantageously, as is also realized here, in each case in the form of a partial region of the side wall 4. In preferred embodiments, as also shown here in the first exemplary embodiment, it is provided that the channel boundary wall 11 delimits the inner channel cavity 12 in a circumferentially closed manner. Circumference closed means that the channel boundary wall 11 surrounds the channel interior cavity 12 over a circumferential angle of 360 °. With regard to the first exemplary embodiment, this can be seen well in FIGS. 3, 4, 9, 12 to 14 and 15. The circumferentially closed design can also be seen in a sectional plane 13 normal to the stacking direction 2. Such sectional planes 13 are shown by way of example in FIG. 5. As is also shown in the first exemplary embodiment, the channels 8 are advantageously formed in a corner region 16 of the side wall 4. In the sense of a stable gripping of the box 1 or stacked boxes 1, at least two channels 8 are advantageously formed in each box or the side wall 4 thereof. Preferred embodiments provide that at least four, preferably exactly four, channels 8 are arranged in the side wall 4.

    The channels 8 arranged in the side wall 4 or, in preferred embodiments, in the corner regions 16 serve to allow a corresponding gripping device 6 to be passed through them, so that the correspondingly designed gripping device 6 has the inlet opening 9, the channel interior cavity 12 and the outlet opening 10 of the respective one Channel 8 can penetrate. For this purpose, the shape of the gripping device and the shape of the channel 8 should be coordinated with one another, fundamentally different shapes being conceivable and possible. It is preferably provided that the channel interior cavity 12 of the respective channel 8 has a circular cross section, at least in sections, as is also the case in the first exemplary embodiment shown here. on the shape of the inlet opening 9 and also on the shape of the outlet opening 10 and also in a corresponding section through the respective channel 8 in a sectional plane 13 normal to the stacking direction 2. The channel 8 preferably extends with its longitudinal direction 7 over the entire or at least one Most of the height extension 15 of the side wall 4 in the area of the respective channel 8 in a direction parallel to the stacking direction 2. In this sense, it is advantageously provided that the side wall 4 in the area of the respective channel 8 has a height extension 15 in a direction parallel to the stacking direction 2 and the channel 8 extends over at least 50%, preferably over at least 80%, of this height extension 15 of the side wall 4. 5 that the channel 8 in this first exemplary embodiment extends over practically the entire height extension 15 of the side wall 4. It is also expedient if the longitudinal extent of the respective channel 8 in its longitudinal direction is at least, preferably twice, as large as the diameter of the inlet opening 9 or the outlet opening 10. If in doubt, the largest of these diameters should be used.
    In an arrangement of boxes 1 according to the invention stacked one on top of the other, it is advantageously provided that the, preferably at least two of, the channels 8, each one of the boxes 1, each with a channel 8 of the box 1 arranged below and / or above, for passing a gripping device 6

    are aligned. 5, 10 and 11, wherein no gripping device 6 is shown in FIG. 5, while in FIG. 10 the gripping device 6 is guided through the two channels 8 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another and aligned with one another and in FIG. 11 the gripping device 6 is only passed through the channel 8 of the upper box 1.
    So that the respective gripping device 6 can be passed unhindered through the corresponding channels 8 of the stacked boxes 1, preferred embodiments provide that the box 1, preferably completely, is free of the respective inlet opening 9 and the respective outlet opening 10 of the respective channel 8 in it respective longitudinal extent 7, in particular completely, covering wall areas. In other words, it is advantageously at least provided that the box 1 has no wall areas which completely cover the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10 of the respective channel 8. This ensures that the gripping device 6 can be passed unhindered through the channels 8 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another. It is advantageously provided that the box is completely free of such wall areas that only partially cover the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10 of the respective channel. For the sake of completeness, however, it is pointed out that with a corresponding design of the gripping device 6, the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10 would be partially wall areas, if the gripping device 6 passes them and is still guided through the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10 of the respective channel 8 can be.
    For the mechanical gripping of boxes 1 according to the invention stacked on top of one another, a preferred method provides that at least two gripping devices 6 * are each guided through the channels 8 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another in alignment and the gripping devices 6 are preferably each in the lowest, which is to be gripped together stacked boxes 1 are positively and / or frictionally releasably fixed. In other words, it is advantageously provided that

    the gripping device 6 for gripping a certain number of boxes 1 stacked on top of each other does not fix each of these boxes 1 in a form-fitting and / or frictional manner, but, to put it simply, this releasable fixing only on the bottom box 1 of the number of boxes 1 stacked on top of one another to be stacked and / or frictionally. When this lowermost box 1 of the plate stack is raised by means of the gripping device 6, the boxes 1 of the stack of boxes arranged above it are then automatically lifted as well. To releasably fix the box 1 or the bottom box 1 of the stack of boxes to be lifted off, the gripping device 6 can engage in a variety of ways in a form-fitting and / or frictional manner on the respective channel 8 of the box 1. For example, it is conceivable that the gripping device 6 within the above-mentioned channel 8 has a diameter of e.g. is increased by appropriate pressure pads or the like, so that it is releasably fixed to the channel boundary wall 11 surrounding the channel inner cavity 12 by means of frictional engagement. However, preference is given to a form-fitting, releasable fixing of the respective gripping device 6 in or on the respective channel 8 of the corresponding box 1, as is also shown in a highly schematic manner in FIGS. 8 to 11. The variant of the gripping device 6 shown there has a latch 20 which can be displaced in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction 2 and which can engage in a corresponding undercut 18 in and / or on the channel boundary wall 11. In this context, it is advantageously provided that at least one undercut 18 is formed in and / or on the channel boundary wall 11 of the respective channel 8 to form a positive connection with the gripping device 6 acting in the longitudinal direction 7 of the channel 8. 5, 10 and 11 it can be clearly seen that this undercut 18 e.g. can be formed in the region of the outlet opening 10 of the respective channel 8. In the variant shown, this undercut 18 of the corresponding box can be positively engaged behind by the correspondingly extended latch 20. In order to create corresponding space for the bolt 20, as realized in the exemplary embodiments shown here, an exemption 34 can be incorporated in the area of the inlet opening 9 of the respective channel 8, which creates the necessary space for inserting the bolt 20. For positive engagement of the respective undercut 18, the latch 20 is relative to the

    Gripping device 6 extended, as can be clearly seen in FIGS. 10 and 11. If, on the other hand, the respective gripping device 6 is to be inserted into or withdrawn from the channels 8, the latch 20 is moved into a retracted position, not shown here, in which it is in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction 2 or to the longitudinal direction 7 of the channels 8 does not protrude beyond the gripping device 6, so that in this position it does not collide with the channel boundary walls 11 of the channels 8 and the gripping device 6 can accordingly be inserted into or pulled out of the corresponding number of channels 8.
    This technology allows a desired number of boxes 1 stacked on top of one another to be gripped mechanically and at the same time with the corresponding number of gripping devices 6, by inserting the gripping devices 6 correspondingly deep into the channels 8 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another, then the lowest of the desired number of boxes 1 correspondingly positively and / or non-positively releasably fixed, in order to then lift, transport and / or move the stack of boxes 1 gripped accordingly. The gripping devices 6 can be moved by known lifting devices, robots, cranes or the like. 10 shows an example of how the gripping device 6, by means of its latch 20, is the lowest of the two boxes. 1 positively grips so that the two boxes 1 shown in FIG. 10 stacked on top of one another are gripped mechanically by the gripping device 6. In FIG. 11, on the other hand, the gripping device 6 is only moved into the channel 8 of the upper box 1 and is positively locked in the undercut 18 thereof, so that in FIG. 11 only the upper box 1 of the stack of boxes shown is gripped mechanically. Even if this is only shown as an example in the figures enclosed here for a stack with two boxes 1, this technology can of course be implemented in a corresponding manner for gripping almost any number of boxes 1 stacked on top of one another. In this case, an entire stack but also only a part of a stack of boxes 1 can be gripped mechanically.

    8 and 9, the situation according to FIG. 10 is shown in a side view and in a view from below, in which both boxes 1 are gripped mechanically by the gripping devices 6 at the same time.
    12, 13 and 14 show a single one of the stacked boxes 1 of the previous figures. FIG. 12 shows a view obliquely from above into the receiving space 5. FIG. 13 shows a view obliquely from above onto the inverted box, ie onto its bottom 3. FIG. 14 shows a view from above onto box 1. The detail F 14 is shown in FIG. 15. In Fig. 15, the section lines GG, HH and KK are drawn. 16 shows the section along the section line GG. Fig. 17 shows the area louse Fig. 16 enlarged. There, the preferably wedge-shaped alignment surface 19 can be seen, which in this exemplary embodiment is formed on an outside of the base 3. When stacking the
    Boxes 1, this alignment surface 19 ensures an alignment or centering of the stacked box relative to one another by, when stacked in stacking direction 2, the bottom 3 of the respective box 1, as can be seen in FIG. 2, in the upper region of the receiving space 5 of the one below Box 1 penetrates and interacts with the upper edge of the side wall 4 of the lower box 1. Through the ’—- - Ausnchtungsflächen'19, which are distributed accordingly on the box 1 or its
    Bottom 3 are arranged, the stacked boxes 1 are aligned with each other in the horizontal direction, that is in the direction normal or orthogonal to the stacking direction 2, so that the channels 8 of the stacked boxes 1 are aligned with one another. Generally speaking, preferred embodiment variants of the invention thus provide that alignment surfaces 19, preferably wedge-shaped, are formed on the crate 1 for aligning the channels 8 of crates 1 stacked one above the other relative to one another. For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that corresponding alignment surfaces 19 can of course also be shaped differently and can be formed at other locations on the respective box 1. For example, it is conceivable to arrange the alignment surfaces 19 not on the bottom 3 but on the corresponding areas of the upper edge of the side wall 4, so that when the boxes 1 are stacked on top of one another in the stacking direction 2 they correspond with the bottom 3

    19 once again clearly shows the lower outlet opening 10 serving as an undercut 18 and the corresponding clearance 34 in the region of the inlet opening 9 for the latch 20. Regarding the terms of the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10, it is pointed out that these are ultimately only openings of the channel 8 or the corresponding ends of the channel interior cavity 12. The term inlet opening 9 and outlet opening 10 was chosen to simplify the language. The entry opening is the opening of the channel 8, in which a gripping device 6 is inserted into the channel 8 from above. The outlet opening 10 was named _ because when the gripping device 6 is inserted into the channel 8 from above
    Gripping device 6, when it is pushed through channel 8, exits channel 8 again at outlet opening 10. When pulling the gripping device 6 out of the channel 8, one would have to name the inlet opening 9 and the outlet opening 10 the other way around. However, this is avoided in the sense of linguistic simplification. One could also designate the inlet opening 9 as the first opening and the outlet opening 10 as the second opening.
    20 and 21 show a second exemplary embodiment of a box 1 according to the invention, in which, in addition to the four channels 8 arranged in the corner regions 16, 21 additional channels 8 are arranged in the longer side wall sections. 20 shows a top view and FIG. 21 shows the section along the section line MM from FIG. 20. This serves to illustrate that the channels 8 do not necessarily have to be arranged in corner regions 16 of the box 1. It is to be illustrated that the channels 8 can also be arranged in other areas of the side wall 4, even in the area of the side wall sections 21 arranged between the corner areas 16. For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that the corner areas 16 are also formed without channels 8 can be if the channels 8 then just in others

    22 shows a corner region 16 of a box 1, in which the channel 8 is not designed to be circumferentially closed. In other words, in this exemplary embodiment of the invention, the channel interior cavity 12 is not closed circumferentially, that is, it is delimited by the channel boundary wall 11 with a circumferential angle of 360 °. In such embodiments, however, it is expedient if the channel boundary wall 11 delimits the channel interior cavity 12, in particular in a sectional plane 13 normal to the stacking direction 12, at least in sections via a circumferential angle 14 of at least 180 °. This is the case in FIG. 22, as shown by the circumferential angle 14 shown.
    23 and 24 serve to illustrate various possibilities of how a channel 8, which is in particular circumferentially closed, or its channel boundary wall 11 and its channel interior cavity 12, can be designed. In both variants, it is provided that the channel interior cavity 12 of the respective channel 8 has a circular cross section everywhere, seen in a corresponding sectional plane 13 normal to the stacking direction 2. In the variant according to FIG. 23, however, the channel interior cavity 12 is formed by two truncated cones meeting in a constriction region 35, while the channel interior cavity 12 in the variant according to FIG. 24 has a circular cylindrical shape throughout. The constriction area 35 in the variant according to FIG. 23 can e.g. serve to fix a correspondingly designed gripping device 6 in the respective channel 8 in a form-fitting manner. The constriction area 35 is thus another possibility for realizing the undercut 18 already discussed above.
    In order to further improve the crate 1 according to the invention in that it is stacked on the one hand with large loads or heavy objects in the receiving space 5 and on the other hand also equipped with well-drying side wall sections 21, the stackable crates 1 advantageously provide that

    the side wall 4 in a plan view of the box 1 has a, preferably rectangular, basic shape with, preferably four, corner regions 16 and side wall sections 21 running between the corner regions 16, the between the!
    Corner regions 16 extending side wall sections 21 are each delimited by an upper side 22 of the side wall section 21 which is inclined at least in regions obliquely to the stacking direction 2 and an underside 23 of the side wall section 21 arranged opposite thereto, whereby on the side wall sections 21 on the upper sides 22 of the side wall sections 21 in each case adjacent to at least one Area 24 of the respective upper side 22 inclined at an angle to the stacking direction 2, preferably between two of these inclined areas 24 of the respective upper side 22, contact surfaces 25 projecting above this or these inclined areas 24 and / or on the undersides 23 of the side wall sections 21 each at least one area 26 adjacent thereto, preferably two areas 26 adjacent thereto, contact surfaces 27 projecting from the respective underside 23 are formed. To illustrate and explain further preferred configuration options, this is realized in different variants in the various exemplary embodiments of this invention. In the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 19 and in the modification forms according to FIGS. 20 to 22, the contact surfaces 25 are formed exclusively on the upper sides 22 of the side wall sections 21. The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 25 to 28, however, shows an example in which the contact surfaces 27 are formed exclusively on the undersides 23 of the side wall sections 21. 29 and 30 show illustrations of a mixed form in which both contact surfaces 25 on the upper sides 22 and contact surfaces 71 are formed on the respective underside 23 of the respective side wall section 21.
    In the first embodiment, reference is made in particular to FIGS. 4, 6 and 7. FIG. 6 shows the section along the section line DD from FIG. 4 through the side wall sections 21 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another and thus in an area outside the contact surfaces 25.

    It is therefore a first example of an arrangement, stacked boxes 1 according to the invention, in which it is provided that the undersides 23 of the side wall sections 21 of the respective upper box 1 exclusively in the area of the contact patches 25 on the upper sides 22 of the side wall sections 21 of the respective lower box 1 on. As a result, as is also realized, the areas 24 of the respective upper sides 22 of the respective side wall sections 21 of the lower box 1 which are inclined to the stacking direction 2 are spaced apart from the areas of the lower sides 23 of the side wall sections 21 of the respective upper box 1 arranged above them 6, the spaced arrangement of the underside 23 of the respective upper box 1 from the inclined region 24 of the upper side 22 of the side wall section 21 of the lower box 1 can be clearly seen. An air gap is thus created between the respective underside 23 and the inclined area 24 of the respective top side 22. In combination with the inclined design of the inclined areas 24 relative to the direction of the stack 2, this ensures that the top sides 22 of the side wall sections 21 of the respective box 1 can dry particularly quickly and well.
    The beginning obliquely in the description of the invention is to be understood to mean that it is an angle, preferably an acute angle, which is neither a right angle nor coincides with a parallel. In this and in other exemplary embodiments according to the invention, the areas 24 of the respective upper side 22 of the respective side wall section 21 which are inclined to the stacking direction 2 preferably close an acute angle in a range from 5 ° to 15 °, preferably from 7 “to 10 °, with the stacking direction. on.

That these protrude beyond the respectively adjacent regions 26 can be clearly seen in FIG. It is also the case in this exemplary embodiment that the contact surfaces 27 are arranged in a first plane 28 and the respectively adjacent regions 26 of the lower sides 23 of the respective lower side 23 are arranged in a second plane 29, the first plane 28 and the second plane 29 form an acute angle 30 with each other. To make this clear, the first level 28 from margin 28 is also entered in FIG. 27. This exemplary embodiment shows in particular in FIG. 28 that the contact surfaces 27 formed on the undersides 23 can run in a plane 32 arranged obliquely to the stacking direction 2. This oblique course of the end faces 27 is, as is also shown in FIG. 28, formed at an angle which corresponds to the obliquely extending regions 26 of the respective upper sides 22 of the side wall sections 21. As a result, the standing areas 27 lie full and full-area on the corresponding areas 26 of the upper sides 22 of the box 1 arranged below them.
    This embodiment example according to FIGS. 25 to 28 also shows, by way of example, that in the case in which on the underside 23 the contact surfaces 27 projecting beyond the respectively adjacent regions 26 of the underside 23 are formed, the regions 26 adjacent to each of the outer surfaces 27 of FIG Bottom 23 can run in a plane 33 on which the stacking direction 2 is arranged normally. see in particular Fig. 27.

    Undersides 23 corresponding contact surfaces 25 and 27 are formed. FIG. 27 shows, analogously to FIG. 6, the situation in a section through the side walls 21 of the boxes 1 stacked on top of one another outside the areas of the contact surfaces 25 and 27. In these areas, the spaced arrangement and thus the air gap supporting the drying result again the undersides 23 of the respective upper box 1 and the inclined regions 24 on the upper sides 22 of the side wall sections 21 of the box 1 arranged underneath. The angle 30 between the first plane 28 and the second plane 29 results, as shown in FIG. 29 , again the same as in the two other previously described exemplary embodiments.
    In the section through the contact surfaces 25 and 27 according to FIG. 30, it can be clearly seen that they rest on one another over the entire surface, so that the boxes 1 are supported steadily on one another. In this variant, it is again provided that the contact surfaces 25 formed on the upper sides 22 run in a plane 31 arranged normal to the stacking direction 2. This exemplary embodiment shows by way of example that the contact surfaces 27 formed on the undersides 23 can also run in a plane 31 arranged normal to the stacking direction 2.
    The sizes of the contact surfaces 25 and 27 and their relationship to the remaining surfaces of the upper sides 22 and lower sides 23 of the side wall sections 21 can in principle be set accordingly in accordance with the load requirements to be expected or achieved. However, it is favorable if a ratio between the sum of the areas of all contact surfaces 25 on the top sides 22 of all side wall sections 21 of box 1 on the one hand and the total area of the top sides of side wall 4 of box 1 on the other hand is in a range from 1: 5 to 1:15, preferably 1: 9 to 1:11. The same applies expediently if the contact surfaces 27 are arranged on the undersides 23 of the side walls 4. It is then preferred that a ratio between the sum of the areas of all contact surfaces 27 on the undersides 23 of all side wall sections 21 of the box 1 on the one hand and the total area of the undersides 23 of the side wall 4 of the box 1
