  • Patent number: 5123533
    Abstract: The plastic container and pallet system includes stackable plastic containers which interlock one with the other when stacked and which similarly interlock with the pallet when stacked thereon. Each container includes a pair of molded end wall structures which incorporate stacking tabs along their upper edge and stacking recess along their lower edge. Thus, when one container is stacked upon another, the recess on the bottom edge of the upper container mates with the stacking tab on the lower container. Similarly, the pallet is provided with mounting tabs at selected intervals to mate with the stacking recesses on the bottom of each container. Each stacking tab along the top edge of the molded end wall structure of the containers includes a belt notch which is aligned with the belt notch beneath each base runner of the pallet when the containers are stacked on the pallet.
