  • Stackable and nestable article holder
    Patent number: 7510089
    Abstract: An article holder has a bottom panel having a rear edge, a forward edge, and a pair of opposed side edges. The holder has a back wall that extends upward near the back edge of the bottom panel and has a lower edge, an upper edge, and a pair of opposed side edges. The back wall diverges from a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel moving up and away from the bottom panel. A pair of side walls are spaced apart and opposed relative to one another, with one extending forward from a respective one of the side edges of the back wall and generally upward relative to a respective one of the side edges of the bottom panel. The pair of side walls diverge at least slightly away from one another both moving up away from the bottom panel and moving forward from the back wall. A storage receptacle is defined above the bottom panel, forward of the back wall and between the side walls. The storage receptacle has a width that is greater near the top edges of the side walls than near the bottom panel.
