<p>A nesting stacking crate (10) comprises a base member (18) and upwardly outwardly flaring collapsible side walls (12,14) and end walls, as well as semi-hexagonal corner members (26), all terminating at the top in a top rim (16). Attached to the top end of each hexagonal corner member (26) is a stacking-support member (34) consisting of a support housing (36), preferably shaped substantially like a capital H, and a support blade (38) hingedly connected thereto which flips about the crossbar (40) of the H, between a nesting condition and a stacking condition. In the nesting condition, the blades (38) are rotated outwardly downwardly and lie extrinsic to the interior of the crate (10), thus allowing another like crate (10) to be nested inside. In the stacking condition they are rotated inwardly horizontally pointing generally diagonally towards the opposite corner of the crate.</p> |
