    Abstract: A container adapted to either stack or nest with another similarly oriented container of identical construction. The container has a plurality of feet along each side adjacent the bottom. The container side walls each have a lower section and an upper section spaced outwardly from the lower section and joined thereto by a ledge providing nesting saddles directly above the feet. The container also has a plurality of stacking saddles along the upper edge of each side wall likewise postioned directly above the feet. There are inclined ridges in the upper and lower sections of each side wall which guide the container down to a nested position within a lower container of identical construction.

  • Patent number: 4093071
    Abstract: The container disclosed herein is adapted to nest in a similarly oriented lower container of identical construction when turned 90.degree. with respect thereto. The container is also adapted to stack at a higher level in the lower container when similarly oriented or when turned 180.degree.. The container has a substantially square bottom wall, side walls extending substantially vertically upwardly from opposite sides edges of the bottom wall, an open front, and a nesting support bar extending across the rear of the container in spaced relation above the bottom wall to define an open space between the bottom wall and the support bar. The container is nested with the lower container by engaging the support bar over the upper edge of one of the side walls of the lower container and resting the front portion of the container on seating means provided on the other side wall of the lower container.

  • Patent number: 4093070
    Abstract: The container disclosed herein is adapted to stack or nest with a similarly oriented lower container of identical construction. The container side walls have stacking supports on their upper edges. Rests in the underside directly beneath these supports permit the container to be stacked at an upper level on a similarly or reversely oriented container of identical construction. The container end walls have second rests disposed above the level of the first mentioned rests and spaced apart the same distance as the stacking supports so that the container can be nested at a lower level with a 90.degree. turned lower container of identical construction.
