ABSTRACT:
A basket, with no movable parts, for holding and displaying goods is provd with opposed bails at the upper end and support feet at the lower end, constructed and arranged to provide secure but separable stacking character by a separable interconnection of bails and feet of two similar baskets, wherein the basket construction effects resilient snap-together and locking of bails and feet to provide a stacking, or columnar, arrangement with great stability. Additional safety means to prevent inadvertent unstacking is provided by cooperating elements on the baskets. Two baskets may be nested, for reducing volume occupied by baskets when stored or shipped, by use of interfitting such baskets in an inverted and offset arrangement that is accommodated by slots defined adjacent basket corners. A base basket and support base combination provides a very stable construction, that may have additional baskets stacked in a column upon the base basket, by use of wire elements that are shaped and arranged to interfit for maximizing resistance by the base basket to tipping relative to its support base.
