Rigid container

Abstract

A rigid container for containing articles, preferably solid soap, the container extending along a main axis and includes a top wall and a bottom wall lying in respective planes transversal to the main axis, and a front face, a rear face, which extend from the top wall to the bottom wall and two sides or lateral faces which extend from the top walk to the bottom wall; the front face of the container includes a convex front panel which has a first supporting portion, and the rear face of the container includes a rear panel which has a second supporting portion shaped to mutually match the first supporting portion.

1 . A rigid container for containing solid articles, preferably soap, extending along a main axis and comprising at least:
 a top wall and a bottom wall opposite each other and lying in respective planes transversal to the main axis,   a front face and a rear face extending from the top wall to the bottom wall the front face comprising a front panel and the rear face comprising a rear panel, at least the front panel being convex, and   two sides or lateral faces, extending from the top wall to the bottom wall;   the container being characterized in that the convex front face comprises a first supporting portion and the rear panel comprises a second supporting portion at least the first and second supporting portions being shaped to mutually match;   a first container being stackable on a second container by superposing the second supporting portion of the first container on the first supporting portion of the second container.   
     
     
         2 . The rigid container according to  claim 1 , wherein the convex front panel is delimited by a first fold line and a second fold line, each defined by two curved stretches between which are interposed a first straight stretch and a second straight stretch, respectively, the first supporting portion being a flat surface defined by the first straight stretch and the second. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the rear panel is convex and is delimited by a third fold line and a fourth fold line, each defined by two curved stretches between which are interposed a third straight stretch and a fourth straight stretch, respectively, the second supporting portion being a flat surface defined by the third straight stretch and the fourth the first and second supporting portions being parallel and opposite to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two sides comprises a convex side panel having at least one respective supporting portion, the convex side panel being delimited by a first fold line and a second fold line, each defined by two curved stretches between which are interposed a first straight stretch and a second straight stretch, respectively, the first supporting portion being a flat surface defined by the first straight stretch and the second. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the rear panel is flat and entirely defines the second supporting portion; the first and second supporting portions being parallel and opposite to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the two sides comprises a convex side panel having at least one respective supporting portion, the side panel being delimited by a fifth straight fold line corresponding to the side edge for connection to the flat rear panel and by a sixth fold line defined by two curved stretches between which is interposed a sixth straight stretch, the first supporting portion being a flat surface defined by the fifth fold line and the sixth straight stretch. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises at least one concave panel connecting two respective faces consecutive with each other. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 7 , wherein the concave panel extends from one of the vertices of the top wall to one of the vertices of the bottom wall. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the rear panel is concave and entirely defines the second supporting portion, the first supporting portion being entirely defined by the front panel; the front panel and the rear panel being parallel to each other. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein it comprises at least one concave panel connecting the front face with one of the sides or lateral faces. 
     
     
         11 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein the concave panel extends from a pair of vertices of the top wall to a pair of vertices of the bottom wall.
