Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017054872A1] A nestable container (1; 10) is provided having a stacking capability. Such a container (1: 10) may be fabricated from sheet metal and advantageously comprise a frusto-conical drum. The container (1; 10) has a side wall (2; 12) that is provided with a plurality of discrete protrusions (5; 11) spaced around a perimeter of its outer surface. The protrusions (5; 11) enable nested two containers to be separated easily without distortion but increase the load-bearing capability of the container when stacked. The protrusions (5; 11) may comprise dimples pressed outwardly from the side wall. In some embodiments the side wall (2; 12) may comprise an annular bead (13) that is located between lower edges (6; 14) of the protrusions (5: 11) and a body curl (3; 15) of the container (1; 10) and that is shallower than the protrusions (5; 11).
