ABSTRACT:
A stackable collapsible container has a sidewall comprised of opposing conical sections. The upper conical section has a greater length and slighter angle than the lower conical section. Upon application of vertical force the lower section folds under the upper section, so the container assumes a stable collapsed state; and likewise, the necked conical top collapses to further reduce the overall length. The top of a collapsed container has a groove, so that when the top is mated to a ringed recess in a like second container, the containers resiliently lock to each other and thus may be readily stacked.
