  • Patent number: 4848573
    Abstract: A stacking system for containers placed in a shipping carton. The system includes at least one layer of containers and preferably multiple layers of containers with each container of each layer held in nonmoveable relationship between upper and lower trays of identical configuration. Each tray includes a plurality of compartments spaced from one another at equal intervals adapted to receive the bottom portions of the containers and a plurality of conical recesses adapted to receive the conical tops of the containers. The compartments are formed on the top sides of the trays and the conical recesses are formed on the bottom sides of the trays. Thus each tray can be used to lock either the conical tops of each layer of containers of the bottom portions of a layer of containers. The containers are spaced apart and kept from lateral movement at both their tops and their bottoms. The edges of the trays have locking flanges to hold the trays in the cartons.
