Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a lid (1) of moulded plastics material for a fruit box (11), particularly a tomato box. The lid has a rim (2) and depending skirt (3) so that it can fit the top edge of the box and is provided with a centre portion of open lattice work (7) and a plurality of upstanding protrusions (4) which when one box (11) is stacked on top of another serve to space the boxes apart so that air can freely circulate between the fruit. The protrusions (4) are preferably provided with upstanding spikes (5) which become embedded in the underside of a box located on top and so prevent slipping of the boxes. The protrusions (4) are of hollow frusto-conical shape so that the lids (1) can nest one within the other for storage.
