ABSTRACT:
Each top cover of carrying and shipping containers designed for nested stacking has a first locking means for securing the cover to the container bottom. A second locking means for connecting each locked container to a similar underlying container positioned in stacked relation is located within the structure of a male component of the first locking means which is mounted in the container cover. Structures of both locking means are provided for rotary and linear sliding modes of operation. The second locking means include cam collars having upper and lower chambers, the latter housing followers which, when actuated by a finger manipulatable means accessible from the top of the containers, project and lock into the upper chambers of similar cam collars of underlying containers.
