Claims24
A tray comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from the base, each of the side walls including a plurality of feet providing multiple stacking heights with an identical tray, each side wall including a drag rail adjacent a lower surface of the base, wherein each side wall includes a side rail projecting upward and defining a channel opening outwardly thereof;
- a rear wall extending upward from a rear of the base between the side walls;
- and
- a front wall extending upward from a front of the base between the side walls, the front wall including a portion lower than the side walls;
- side flanges extending inwardly from the pair of side walls toward one another above the front wall and the rear wall and a notch in an upper surface of each of the side flanges aligned with the drag rail spaced inward from the side rail and below the side rail and the channel.
A tray comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from the base, each of the side walls including a plurality of feet providing multiple stacking heights when stacked on an identical tray, each side wall includes a side rail defining an outer ledge outwardly thereof on the side wall;
- a rear wall extending upward from a rear of the base between the side walls;
- and
- a front wall extending upward from a front of the base between the side walls, the front wall including a portion lower than the side walls.
A tray comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from the base, each of the side walls including a plurality of feet providing multiple stacking heights with an identical tray, a center projection between the feet on each of the pair of side walls, wherein the center projection includes a notch at least partially defined by an outer projection projecting downwardly from the center projection;
- a rear wall extending upward from a rear of the base between the side walls;
- and
- a front wall extending upward from a front of the base between the side walls, the front wall including a portion lower than the side walls.
A tray comprising:
- a base having an upper support surface for supporting goods thereon;
- a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from the base;
- a rear wall extending upward from a rear of the base between the side walls;
- a front wall extending upward from a front of the base between the side walls, the front wall including a portion having a height lower than the side walls, wherein the front wall and rear wall each include an inner wall portion extending upward from the base and a lip extending outwardly and then downwardly from an upper edge of the inner wall portion;
- and
- side flanges extending inwardly from the side walls toward one another above the front wall and toward one another above the rear wall, a notch formed in the front wall adjacent each side wall and a notch formed in the rear wall adjacent each side wall, wherein the notches are laterally adjacent the lips of the front wall and rear wall, the notches configured to be simultaneously partially receiving the side flanges of an identical tray when the tray is cross-stacked on the identical tray, such that the side flanges of the identical tray can extend inward of the tray further than the lips.
