Abstract

Polygonal sliding packaging having an inner hollow body (3) which slides telescopically within an outer hollow body (2) to form a variable length container which uses a twist-and-push or pull movement for closing and opening. The two hollow bodies are latched using assigned latchways (13-2 to 13-3), which are at least a first row of notches (6, 7) with at least one latch notch (5) disposed on one hollow body (3) and at least a second row of notches (9 through 12) with at least one latch notch (8) disposed on the other hollow body (2). Latchways are disengaged by twisting the two hollow bodies counter to one another about their longitudinal axes so that the latch notches of one latchway (13-3) reside within at least one slideway (14-2, 15-2), which is disposed on one hollow body (2) in a circumferential direction at a distance from the at least one latchway (13-2).
