Abstract: From a first aspect, the invention relates to a connection device for a bottom 1 and a lid 3, respectively, to a box that also has side pieces 2. The device comprises one or more first fastening members 5 fixedly connected to the bottom 1 and the lid 3, respectively, and one or more second fastening members 6 fixedly connected to at least one side piece 2. Furthermore, connection members 7 are comprised for connection of the bottom 1 and the lid 3, respectively, to the side piece 2 by interaction with the fastening members 5, 6. Each connection member 7 consists of a clamp having a resilient web 7.1, in one end of which a first hook 7.2 is arranged and in the other end of which a second hook 7, 3 is arranged. The first fastening member consists of a first bar 5 that is arranged along an edge of the bottom 1 and the lid 3, respectively, and which is provided with connection members comprising one or more recesses 5, 4. The second fastening member consists of a second bar 6 that is arranged on a side piece 2 substantially in parallel to the edge of the side piece 2. The first hook 7.2 is arranged to be introduced into a recess 5.4 in the first bar 5. According to the invention, the first bar 5 is provided with a support surface 5.5 situated between the recess 5.4 and the second bar 6 and at a distance from the recess 5.4. The first hook 7.2 of the clamp 7 is provided with a projection 7.5 directed towards the web 7.1 of the clamp. The projection is situated a distance from the first end of the web 7.1, which is at least equal to the distance between the recess 5.4 and the support surface 5.5. Thereby, the clamp 7 cannot fall off from the first bar 5. The invention also relates to a box provided with such a connection device and a clamp 7 intended to be used in such a connection device.From a first aspect, the invention relates to a connection device for a bottom (1) and a lid (3), respectively, to a box that also has side pieces (2).
