ABSTRACT:
A stackable plastic container has a unitarily formed handle on a top surface thereof. In accordance with a first feature, the top wall is provided with a pair of upwardly projecting portions that are asymmetrically disposed relative to a center line extending across the container and between which the handle extends. The bottom portion is provided with supporting and stacking nubs that are situated at positions corresponding to the projecting top wall portions, and the top wall portions have nub-receiving stacking recesses positioned on opposite sides of the handle so as to enable stacking of a like container on the container by engagement of supporting and stacking nubs of the like container in the stacking recesses of the container. According to a second aspect of the invention, a supplemental handle is provided which may be detachably attached to the container handle so as to convert the container from a single handle container to a triple-handle container, complying with military specifications for Jerry-type cans.
