ABSTRACT:
A stackable container having excellent resistance to impact breakage includes (1) a plastic tank for containing liquids having at least one opening in its upper end and upper and lower abutments extending around sidewalls, (2) a top member engaged to the upper end of the tank having a downwardly facing abutting edge resting upon said upper abutment and (3) a bottom member engaged to the lower end of the tank having an upwardly facing abutting edge resting upon said lower abutment and having a plurality of downwardly extending legs. The tank has a generally rectangular configuration with a sump defined at one corner extending downwardly from the bottom and an internally raised area at another corner defining a depression forming an external ledge. Two tanks may be stacked in bottom-to-bottom relationship with the sump of one tank engaging the ledge of the other tank.
