(57) A nesting and stacking container box which will permit the nesting of container lids
for large lidded containers. A hinging arrangement is provided so the lids can move
from a closed position to a lateral hanging position with a stop member being provided
so that the movement of the hinge arms which are freely, and rotatably mounted in
the containers and lids is stopped at a position when the lids are in an open and
nesting position. In this position the lids are angled outwardly from the containers.
In one embodiment the lid members will continue to move in a manner such that the
innermost portions of the lids when resting in a closed position on the containers
will move outwardly and away from the containers. In another embodiment, a catch arrangement
is provided between the lid and an upper wall portion of its container to afford a
stationary positioning of the lid for nesting purposes.
