  • Children can use each container as an individual construction or building block, the primary two-part connector allowing the container to be stacked or interconnected with one or more like containers in a variety of ways to build different structures.
  • the child has complete freedom as to how to stack or interconnect containers, thus encouraging children to think creatively during play.
  • Each container in a chain of containers may be used to store different types of items, thus allowing a child to sort items into categories.
  • One container is able to interconnect to a like container having the same block connection means, thus allowing containers to be swapped or gifted between two or more users.
  • the container is reusable.
  • One or more containers can be added to or removed from a container structure at any time, thus the child may build a large structure at home, then disconnect a portion small enough to fit into a pocket or a backpack, for example, so the child can take a portion of the structure out of the home.
  • the secondary two-part connector provides positive engagement between the boss and the boss recess of the primary two-part connector. It also prevents or limits relative angular displacement of the interengaged parts of the primary two-part connectors in at least one plane.
  • the secondary two-part connector also functions as a locating or indexing means to orientate containers to be connected to at least one or more predefined orientation.

  • Each of the major faces 18, 20 and perimeter sidewalls 22, 24 of the first and second housing parts 14, 16 have an exterior surface and interior surface.
  • the exterior and interior surfaces of the perimeter sidewall 22, 24 of each of the first and second housing parts 14, 16 define a perimeter edge 30, 32 therebetween, at a distal free end of the perimeter sidewall 22, 24.
  • the perimeter sidewalls 22, 24 of the first and second housing parts 14, 16 together define four sidewalls 34, namely front and rear sidewalls, 34a, 34b, and left and right sidewalls 34c, 34d, of the housing 12.

  • a cut out portion 39 is preferably formed on an edge interposed between the major face 18 and the right side 22d of the first housing part 14.
  • An identical cut out portion 39 is provided at an opposing edge.
  • Two further cut out portions 39 are similarly provided on the second housing part 16.
  • the cut out portions 39 are provided and positioned on the first and second housing parts 14, 16 strategically to enable tooling of the first and second housing parts 14, 16 to take place effectively and efficiently.
  • the housing 12 is preferably integrally formed or tooled as one piece, ideally by injection moulding.
  • the cut out portions 39 enable smooth release of the housing 12 during the injection moulding process, and prevent the material from shrinking along the edges of the major faces 18, 20.
  • the cut out portions 39 are thus advantageous, improving production efficiency of the container 10 and also material flow when manufacturing the container 10.
  • the first housing part 14 is preferably provided with a stepped perimeter having the perimeter edge 30, 32 that is raised and a shoulder at the interior of the first housing part 14, defining a first lip 40.
  • a second lip 42 similar to the first lip 40 is provided on the second housing part 16, but at the exterior of the second housing part 16, such that when the housing 12 is in the closed state, the two lips 40, 42 abut one another to create frictional contact between the first and second housing parts 14, 16. This helps to prevent unintentional opening of the housing 12 and aids engagement as well as sealing.
  • the interior cavity 26 is suitable for storing confectionery.
  • the close or tight fit between the first and second lips 40, 42 eliminates or substantially eliminates any gap that may be present between the two perimeter edges 30, 32 when the container 10 is in the closed state.
  • the lips 40, 42 effectively form a seal, thus allowing storage of small sized items, for example confectionery coated with sugar, preferably without or substantially without leakage.
  • a locking means is preferably provided, namely a ledge or beading 44 and a corresponding ledge or beading channel 46, on an interior surface of the first lip 40 and an exterior surface of the second lip 42, respectively.
  • the beading 44 and the beading channel 46 may releasably and positively engage with one another when the container 10 is in the closed state to prevent unintentional opening of the housing 12.

  • the primary two-part connector 48 is provided on the major faces 18, 20 of the first and second housing parts 14, 16, one part of the connector 48 being a boss 48a and the other part being a corresponding boss recess 48b complementarily shaped to frictionally engage with the boss 48a.
  • the embodiment illustrated in the Figures has four such bosses 48a spaced apart on the major face 18 of the first housing part 14 and four corresponding boss recesses 48b on the major face 20 of the second housing part 16. The bosses 48a are thus visible when viewed from above, extending upwardly from the major face 18 of the first housing part 14, when the container 10 is in the closed state.
  • Each boss 48a and each boss recess 48b are spaced equidistantly away from a central point of their respective major faces 18, 20.
  • Each major face 18, 20 with the bosses 48a or boss recesses 48b thus forms a mirror image along its central longitudinal axis and central lateral axis. The symmetrical nature of such an arrangement is beneficial when containers 10 are required to be stacked or interconnected with one another, and is also aesthetically pleasing.
