ABSTRACT:
A stackable rectangular crate (1), especially for bottles (6), comprising a box-type part with a bottom (3) and sidewalls (4,5), two opposite sidewalls (4) of which are higher than the two other sidewalls (5). Two supporting elements (7), forming extensions of the higher sidewalls (4), extend downwardly from the bottom (3) and terminate in straight horizontal edges (8). The crate thus has an H-shaped profile. At the upper parts of the higher sidewalls (4) stacking elements are provided which comprise on the one hand shoulders (9) adapted to support the supporting elements (7) of another crate (2) stacked from above, and on the other hand projections (10) which extend upwardly from the higher sidewalls (4) and along the whole length thereof, and extend at the corners of the crate (1) by means of short sections (11) a short way along the lower sidewalls (5). In accordance with the invention the projections (10) are adapted to surround outwardly the supporting elements (7) of another crate (2) stacked from above. Moreover, the projections (10) and the shoulders (9) are dimensioned so as to admit such obliquity of the upper crate (2) that it can be shifted on the shoulders (9) of the lower crate (1) parallel with the higher sidewalls (4).
