Abstract: An agricultural container or fruit bin made of plastic has four vertical walls, triangular corner columns and a bottom element. The exteriors of the vertical walls and bottom element have rectangular rib patterns. Openings in the vertical walls and bottom allow for atmospheric circulation. The upper edges of the sides are bowed inward slightly, and the bottom element has a slight inward dome when the bin is empty.

Abstract: A Plastic fruit bin having four vertical walls and a bottom joined to the walls. Two supporting elements extending along and attached to the bottom elements. An array of gas injection tubes disposed on the lower side of the bottom element and extending up the center of each of the vertical walls. The vertical walls are joined to each other at their sides by a triangular shaped column, each of said columns forming a corner of the bin, and the columns being stiffened internally with longitudinal ribs. A rectangular recess at the bottom of each corner, the depth of the recess rising to the level of the bottom element of the bin, the recess being partially closed by a triangular shelf having its apex at the inner corner of the rectangle, and being defined by two corners of the rectangle adjacent to the inner corner, with the edge of the shelf which extends between the two corners of the rectangle defining the lower end of a triangular passageway.
