ABSTRACT:
A shipping and storing container including a cubic-shaped shipping unit defining an open top cavity and a rotatable cover releasably secured thereto for closing the cavity. A peripheral side surface of the container defines two vertical channels which allow the container to be releasably coupled in a side-by-side relation to a like container by relative vertical movement between the containers. The configuration of the cover prevents it from rotating relative to the shipping unit when two containers are releasably secured together in side-by-side relation. A selectively operable security latch carried by the cover prevents inadvertent rotation of the cover relative to the shipping unit when the containers are separated. Each cover further includes an upstruck handle portion which facilitates handling of the containers and interlocks with a support base of a container stacked thereabove. A first seal is provided on the cover and shipping unit to prevent tampering with the articles carried within the container. A second seal is provided between joined containers to indicate whether the joined containers were separated during transport.
