container for food products, particularly confectionery products usable as piggy bank

摘要

A container (1) for food products which can be used as a money box after consumption of the products, comprises a hollow casing (2) constituted by two two trough-shaped bodies (3, 4) which can be joined together releasably at their complementary free edges. One of the free edges has a notch (10) which defines a slot (12) with the other free edge when the bodies are jointed together. The two bodies have shaped appendages (5, 6, 7) which give the container an animal-like appearance, and some (5) of the appendages serve to support the container (1) with the slot (12) facing upwardly. The slot (12) is closed by an adhesive band prior to initial opening of the container. IMAGE
