Claim Text:
1. A transport unit comprising two parallel retaining plates, each of which has an arrangement of retainer members for retaining lidded containers, and a plurality of lidded containers, each of which has a tubular container and a closure element at the top of the container projecting radially outward with respect to the container, wherein lidded containers of one group of lidded containers are held parallel to each other by retainer members of one of the two parallel retaining plates, and lidded containers of another group of lidded containers are held parallel to each other by retainer members of the other retaining plate, the lidded containers of the one group are disposed oppositely aligned to the lidded containers of the other group and nested within one another such that the lidded containers of the one group contact the lidded containers of the other group and frictional forces acting between the lidded containers of the one group and the other group hold the transport unit together.
