  • Stacking system for containers
    Patent number: 4813542
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for stacking cases in a nesting relationship. A number of cases, each substantially identical to the other are configured to permit stacking in a nested relationship in a number of directions. Each such case includes corner brackets with recesses and protrusions which interact with complementary brackets on adjacent cases. Corner brackets in cooperation with other edge brackets also permit stacking in a nested relationship when the covers for these cases are removed and the orientation of the cases is shifted. A latching means is also provided to secure the cover in place without adversely affecting the latching mechanism.
