Abstract
Abstract A container formed from plastic foil, comprising two container portions having marginal areas, and connecting parts formed in the marginal areas which can be inserted into one another, the connecting parts having the top regions formed with deformable structure, such that after the insertion, the top regions of the inner connecting parts will expand in response to a common pressing-in of the top regions, the expanded structure pressably locking respective connecting parts together.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A container according to claim 1, wherein the inner connecting parts have expansion deformations formed in the vicinity of their insertion ends to facilitate the deformable expansion thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A container according to claim 2, wherein the expansion deformations are inwardly directed reinforcing seams running parallel to the surface line of the inner connecting parts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
