Hexa box

Abstract

The container ( 1 ) comprises two half-shells ( 3 a , 3 b ). On the edges of the half-shells ( 3 a , 3 b ) at least one male coupling element ( 15 b ) and at least two female coupling elements ( 15 a ) are formed. The half-shells ( 3 a , 3 b ) can be plugged together in an arbitrary manner to form containers ( 1 ) or other structures, in that male coupling elements ( 15 b ) are engaged in gaps ( 17 ) between two adjacent female coupling elements ( 15 a ).

1 . A box comprising a first half portion and a second half portion wherein on an edge of each of the first half portion and the second half portion at least one male coupling element and at least two female coupling elements are formed.  
   
   
       2 . The box of  claim 1  wherein the at least one the male coupling element on one of the first half portion and the second half portion is constructed with ball-like or staff-like form with convex curved terminal edges.  
   
   
       3 . The box of  claim 1  wherein the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion have a tubing-like form or concave curved terminal edges.  
   
   
       4 . The box of  claim 1  wherein the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are arranged in a proximal manner to provide a ball and socket joint adapted to receive a male coupling element.  
   
   
       5 . The box of  claim 1  wherein the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are formed of plastic on a supporting belt.  
   
   
       6 . The box of  claim 5  wherein the supporting belt has ring-like form having a groove for the admission of a flanged edge.  
   
   
       7 . The box of  claim 1  wherein one of the first half portion and the second half portion is formed of plastic and the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements are formed in the edge of one of the first half portion and the second half portion.  
   
   
       8 . The box of  claim 2  wherein the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion have a tubing-like form or concave curved terminal edges.  
   
   
       9 . The box of  claim 2  wherein the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are arranged in a proximal manner to provide a joint seat opening adapted to receive a male coupling element.  
   
   
       10 . The box of  claim 3  wherein the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are arranged in a proximal manner to provide a joint seat opening adapted to receive a male coupling element.  
   
   
       11 . The box of  claim 2  wherein the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are formed of plastic on a supporting belt.  
   
   
       12 . The box of  claim 3  wherein the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are formed of plastic on a supporting belt.  
   
   
       13 . The box of  claim 4  wherein the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements on one of the first half portion and the second half portion are formed of plastic on a supporting belt.  
   
   
       14 . The box of  claim 2  wherein one of the first half portion and the second half portion is formed of plastic and the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements are formed in the edge of one of the first half portion and the second half portion.  
   
   
       15 . The box of  claim 3  wherein one of the first half portion and the second half portion is formed of plastic and the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements are formed in the edge of one of the first half portion and the second half portion.  
   
   
       16 . The box of  claim 4  wherein one of the first half portion and the second half portion is formed of plastic and the at least one male coupling element and the at least two female coupling elements are formed in the edge of one of the first half portion and the second half portion.
