Abstract

Abstract A two-part synthetic bottle container, in which a dividing wall extends parallel to an outer wall, and interengaging locking elements are provided in the form of hooks which project in the region of one corner of an abutment surface past dividing members. The locking elements have recesses located in the region of the other corner and corresponding to the hook cross section. Surface portions of a slider extend behind hooks of a corresponding container part, when in a locking position. The container parts have at their narrow sides carrying brackets which are pivotable relative to the container parts. The carrying brackets, furthermore, project with free ends of their legs past the pivot joint of the brackets and container parts. The carrying brackets are provided at the free end, with an abutment, so that when the brackets are pivoted against the container parts, they extend with this abutment through a recess in the wall of a corresponding locking compartment and engage in a recess in the latching slider, for the purpose of lifting this slider to a latching position.
