A stacking structure 110 for a container 100, the structure having an elongate hollow body forming a sleeve 113 and a longitudinal member 120 slideably located within the sleeve. The longitudinal member has opposed upper and lower ends and the upper end includes locator means 130. A locating member 150 is slideably located within the sleeve and a compressible biasing device 140 is connected to, and intermediate, the elongate body and upper portion of the locating member. The biasing device is adapted to urge the elongate body and locating member apart. Resting the container on a surface causes compression of the biasing device and projects the longitudinal member above the container, and upon lifting the container from a surface, the biasing device decompresses and the longitudinal member retracts back inside the container. The underside of the locating member may be shaped complementarily with an upper portion of the locator. The locator may be releasably secured to the upper end of the longitudinal member and may be a stacking cone. The biasing device may be a helical spring. The sleeve may be located in the corner of the container. The structure may be used in shipping containers. |
