Abstract (en)
An open topped container 1 has base supports 8 and 9 each of which consists of an upper U-shaped support bar 10 and a lower U-shaped support bar 11. The bars are pivotally mounted on opposed side walls 3 and 4 to be pivotal to a position in which they overlie the base 2 of the container or a position out of said overlying relationship. The support bars 10 and 11 can be selectively pivotted to provide column stacking of two similar containers or either of two depths for nest stacking those containers where the upper container is received within the lower container in a vertical column. For column stacking the upper bars 10 are pivotted to overlie the base 3 to support an overlying container. For nest stacking the bars 10 are pivotted out of overlying relationship with the base 2 so that an overlying container can be nested in a shallow condition in which it is supported on the bars 11 or in a deep condition where the bars 11 are displaced out of overlying relationship with the base 2. In an alternative embodiment each of the base supports 8 and 9 can be provided by a single pivotally mounted support bar. <MATH>
