End wall made of material which can be shaped without cutting for a

Abstract

An end wall having a front side which forms a flat surface while the rear side is reinforced by radial ribs and annular ribs. The radial ribs are reinforced by webs which are disposed within the ribs. A central push-in peg and locking bosses are located on the front side of the end wall. Corner surfaces of the end wall are rounded and are adjoined with the cylindrical locking bosses which have the same radius as the rounded corner surfaces. Three side walls of the end wall are equipped with stacking bosses limiting stacking pockets which have a shape complementary to that of the stacking bosses. At least the fourth side wall of the end wall has a grooving and, when a winding roll is packaged by use of the end walls, rests on a pallet. When vertically aligned end walls are stacked together laterally and/or stacked above one another vertically, the stacking bosses and stacking pockets of a side wall are mutually engaged without a gap to the complementary stacking pockets and stacking bosses of the side wall of a further end wall.
