Abstract
The present invention relates to stackable storage trays having side walls, rear walls and an open front, that can be stacked and that can also be inverted and interleaved with an identical tray to provide an enclosed box.
Claims27
A stackable storage tray, comprising:
- a base comprising a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge and a front edge;
- a rear wall having a bottom edge connected to the rear edge of the base;
- a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall is connected to the first side edge of the base and is spaced apart from the rear wall by a distance substantially equal to the width of the first side wall to form a first side space, and the second side wall is connected to the second side edge of the base and is spaced apart from the rear wall by a distance substantially equal to the width of the second side wall to form a second side space, and wherein the front edge has no side wall, thereby forming an open front space;
- wherein the heights of the rear wall, the first side wall and the second side wall are substantially equal;
- wherein the stackable storage tray is configured to be inverted and interleaved with a second identical stackable storage tray, such that the rear wall of the storage tray interleaves with the open front space of the second storage tray, the first side wall of the storage tray interleaves with the first side space of the second storage tray, and the second side wall of the storage tray interleaves with the second side space of the second storage tray, thereby forming an enclosed box.

A stackable storage tray, comprising:
- a base comprising a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge and a front edge;
- a rear wall having a bottom edge connected to the rear edge of the base, a first side edge and a second side edge;
- a first rear side wall and second rear side wall, wherein the first rear side wall has a bottom edge connected to the first side edge of the base and a rear edge connected to a first side edge of the rear wall, and the second rear side wall has a bottom edge connected to the second side edge of the base and a rear edge connected to the second side edge of the rear wall;
- a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall is connected to the first side edge of the base and is spaced apart from the first rear side wall by a distance substantially equal to the width of the first side wall to form a first side space and is spaced apart from the front edge by a distance substantially equal to the width of the first rear side wall to form a first side front space, and the second side wall is connected to the second side edge of the base and is spaced apart from the second rear side wall by a distance substantially equal to the width of the second side wall to form a second side space and is spaced apart from the front edge by a distance substantially equal to the width of the second rear side wall to form a second side front space, and wherein the front edge has no side wall, thereby forming an open front space;
- wherein the height of the rear wall, the first side wall and the second side wall is substantially equal;
- wherein the stackable storage tray is configured to be inverted and interleaved with a second identical stackable storage tray, such that the rear wall and connected first rear side wall and second rear side wall of the storage tray interleaves with the open front space of the second storage tray and the first and second side front space, the first side wall of the storage tray interleaves with the first side space of the second storage tray, and the second side wall of the storage tray interleaves with the second side space of the second storage tray, thereby forming an enclosed box.
3 more elements
A stackable storage tray, comprising
- a base comprising an open front, a rear wall, and on each side of the base at least one side wall and at least one space, wherein each side of the base from the front of the base to a center line between the front and the rear of the base comprises at least one side wall, and each side of the base from the centerline to the rear of the base comprises at least one space;
- and
- wherein the configuration from the front of the base to the centerline is a reverse mirror image of the configuration from the centerline to the rear of the base, such that the stackable storage tray can be inverted and interleaved with a second identical stackable storage tray.
