ABSTRACT:
A container, which is typically rectangular, includes a bottom and an upwardly extending sidewall. Upper and lower support surfaces, preferably adjacent the sidewall, allow the containers to be stacked. The container has an interlocking member for laterally coupling containers in one vertical column with containers in an adjacent vertical column. The interlocking member extends laterally from the outer surface of the sidewall. The interlocking member includes an upper portion extending a first distance above the upper support surface. The container includes a cavity extending upwardly from the bottom. The cavity is open at the bottom and is sized for insertion of the upper portion of an interlocking member therein. In so doing a container on one level becomes laterally interlocked with a container on a level either above or below it and to one side. Providing upwardly and outwardly tapering sidewalls and vertically offset upper and lower support surfaces permit the containers to be stacked when full or nested when empty.
