ABSTRACT:
A multilevel stacking container having opposed end walls of complementary configuration such that one container may be stacked upon a like container at a first level in a like end to like end relationship and stacked at a second level in a like end to complementary end relationship. The end walls are so configured as to accommodate transverse sliding of the upper container laterally across the lower container into either of the aforementioned stacked relationships without snagging prior to final vertical alignment. Abutment means are operable to maintain the stacked containers against movement out of vertical alignment once in a stacked relationship.
As employed in the following claims, the word "coextensive" is to be construed as meaning in alignment--laterally or transversely of the container--that is, elements on opposite end walls of the container are "coextensive" with each other when they are located at equal distances from one of the container side walls (even though the element on one end wall may be vertically offset from the other "coextensive" element).
