  • Patent number: 4065141
    Abstract: A container is provided for bulk mail, and the like, which has the form of a wheeled rack. The container is constructed to have a lower shelf and an intermediate shelf, both of which are hinged to a frame, and both of which may be turned to an upright position when the container is not in use to enable the container to be nested into other like containers so as to conserve space. Also, the intermediate shelf may be turned up when the container is in use to provide sufficient space within the container for large or bulky packages or mail sacks. The container also has a flexible webbing member attached to the forward edge of a hinged frame which supports the intermediate shelf. The webbing member may be extended upwardly and downwardly from the forward edge of the frame across the open front of the container to enclose the upper and lower portions of the open front so as to retain the load within the container.
