The container system according to claim 1, wherein the first projections provided at the outer side of the opening of the inner container are selected from the group consisting of an at least partially circumferential edge, projecting knobs and segments,the second projections are selected from the group consisting of an at least partially circumferential edge, projecting knobs and segments, andthe inwardly-directed third projections are selected from the group consisting of an at least partially circumferential second edge, projecting knobs and segments. 8. A container system, comprising: an outer container, an outer cover, an inner container and an inner cover, wherein the inner container is insertable into the outer container from a first side, and at a second side which is opposite to the first side, the outer container comprises an opening into which a bottom section of the inner container is to be inserted,wherein the outer container is configured to be releasably connected with the inner container by means of a first fixing mechanism, and the inner container is configured to be releasably connected with the inner cover by means of a second fixing mechanism, and the inner cover is configured to be inserted into the outer cover from a third side,wherein the outer cover, at a fourth side which is opposite to the third side, comprises an opening into which a section of the inner cover is to be inserted,wherein the outer cover is configured to be releasably connected with the inner cover by means of a third fixing mechanism, and the outer cover is configured to be releasably connected with the outer container by means of a fourth fixing mechanism,wherein the first fixing mechanism comprises a first snap-in connection realized such that a first edge formed of a rim of the opening of the outer container is configured to be locked with an at least partially circumferential first groove at a lower side of the inner container which is opposite to an opening side of the inner container, and wherein the first edge is locked in the first groove by a single, relative axial movement of the inner and outer containers toward each other along an axis of the outer container and without a relative rotational movement of the inner and outer containers about the axis,wherein the second fixing mechanism comprises a third snap-in connection realized such that (a) the inner cover is configured to be put on the inner container and (b) an at least partially circumferential, outwardly directed first projection provided at the opening side of the inner container comprises an at least partially circumferential second groove configured to be locked with second projections provided at an inner side of the inner cover,wherein the third fixing mechanism comprises a second snap-in connection realized such that a rim of the opening provided in the outer cover comprises third projections configured to be locked with an at least partially circumferential third groove at the inner cover, and wherein the third projections are locked in the third groove by a single, relative axial movement of the inner and outer covers toward each other along the axis of the outer container and without a relative rotational movement of the inner and outer covers about the axis, andwherein the third fixing mechanism is configured to provide a stronger connection than the second fixing mechanism, and the first fixing mechanism is configured to provide a stronger connection than the second fixing mechanism. 9.
