Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0628490A2] A nestable container 10 comprises a top flap which is arranged to lie over an opening in the container 10 into which a further identical container can be nested. The top flap is in three parts 146, 148, 150 which are arranged to slide into one another. The top flap is hingedly connected to an end wall 16 of the container 10 so that it can be hinged around to lie adjacent the end wall 16 of the container 10. By sliding of the parts 146, 148, 150, the length of the top flap is reduced so that it does not interfere with the nesting of the container 10 into another identical container. The container is of the type which nests in one orientation and stacks in another orientation. The container 10 includes a hinged access flap 30 in one end wall 14 to allow access to the interior of the container. <IMAGE>
