One first aspect of the invention relates to a connection device for the bottom (1) and lid (3) of a box with side-panels (2). The device comprises one or more first attachment means (5) firmly connected to the bottom (1) and lid ( 3) and one or more attachment means (6) firmly connected to at least one side panel (2). Connection means (7) are also provided for connecting the bottom (1) and lid (3) to the side panel (2) ny interaction with the attachment means (5, 6). Each connection means (7) consists of a clamp with a resilient body (7.1), a first hook (7.2) being arranged at one end and a second hook (7.3) being arranged at the other end. The first attachment means consists of a first rail (5), arranged along an edge on the bottom (1) and lid (3) respectively, equipped with connection means consisting of one or more slots (5.4 ). The second attachment means consists of a second rail (6) arranged on a side panel (2) essentially parallel to the edge of the side panel (2). The first hook (7.2) is devised to hook into a slot (5.4) in the first rail (5). According to the invention, the clamp is equipped with a third hook (7.7). The first rail's (5) connection means also has receptor means (5. 5) for the third hook (7.7). The receptor means (5.5) is arranged to receive the third hook (7.7) in a reception direction differing from the application direction of the first hook ( 7.2) into the slot (5.4). This prevents the clamp (7) from falling off the first rail (5). The invention also relates to a box equipped with this connection device and a clamp (7) intended for use in such a connection device.
