ABSTRACT:
A bakery basket includes a bottom, opposed side walls and a back wall joined together to form an upwardly open basket body. The side walls include a plurality of vertical support towers which are formed of an outwardly directed projection which defines a hollow opening on the interior of the basket. A slidable bail is positioned within the side walls on a horizontal support ledge therein. Each slidable bail includes one or more support lugs, such as an upper support lug and a lower support lug, and open areas adjacent each hollow opening in the side walls. Slidable bails are moveable in a variety of positions, including positioning the open areas aligned with the hollow openings, positioning the lower support lugs aligned with the hollow openings and positioning the upper support lugs aligned with the hollow openings. In this manner, the baskets may be stacked at one or more height levels and may also be nested together, depending on the position of the slidable bails.
