Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
Transport or mailing container comprising two interfitting sections designed for slidable engagement one inside the other characterized in that at least one label space is provided on the outside of two opposite walls of the inner section 2 and by one corresponding window-shaped aperture (4) in the outer section (1) for each two opposite label spaces through which one of said two opposite label spaces is visible in the assembled pOsition of the two sections so that after turning one of the sections (1, 2) around its axis by 180* the opposite label space is visible in the window aperture, and that resilient locking means provide automatic locking of the two sections by engaging corresponding stops on the inside of the outer section after pushing the inner container section fully into the outer container section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
Transport or mailing container comprising two interfitting sections designed for slidable engagement one inside the other characterized in that at least one label space is provided on the outside of two opposite walls of the inner section 2 and by one corresponding window-shaped aperture (4) in the outer section (1) for each two opposite label spaces through which one of said two opposite label spaces is visible in the assembled pOsition of the two sections so that after turning one of the sections (1, 2) around its axis by 180* the opposite label space is visible in the window aperture, and that resilient locking means provide automatic locking of the two sections by engaging corresponding stops on the inside of the outer section after pushing the inner container section fully into the outer container section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
