ABSTRACT:
A stackable bin includes two spaced apart side walls, and a rear wall connecting rear edges of the side walls together. The side walls and rear wall are slightly inclined inwardly with respect to a vertical plane. A bottom wall is connected to lower portions of the side walls and rear wall and a central partition wall is connected with the bottom wall and rear wall to define first and second compartments open at front ends thereof. A channel extends parallel to and in alignment with the partition wall, and is formed at an underside of the bottom wall, for receiving an upper edge of a partition wall of a another stackable bin, for a supporting stackable arrangement therewith. Vertically oriented ribs are provided on outer surfaces of the side walls, for further supporting the stackable bin on the upper edges of side walls of the other stackable bin, and for increasing structural rigidity of the side walls. An elongated post is formed at the front edge of the partition wall and extends above the upper edge of the partition wall so as to define a post extension, and a recess is formed at a lower end of the elongated post for receiving the post extension of another stackable bin, thereby preventing forward sliding movement of the stacked bins relative to each other.
