Nestable open case

A case capable of being stacked or nested with cases of similar construction comprising:

• a pair of opposed side walls;
• a pair of opposed end walls integrally joined at their longitudinal edges with said side walls;
• a bottom joined to the bottom of each of said side walls and said end walls to define a box with an open top;
• an upstanding frame extending upwardly from each said side wall, said frame having an upper portion;
• an elongated channel formed in the underside of said bottom adjacent each said side wall, said channel being in registry with the upper portion of said frame;
• an elongated slot formed adjacent each said elongated channel and parallel thereto, said slot extending completely through said bottom and having a length and width sufficient to permit passage of the frames of two lower oriented cases;
• wherein said case is adapted to be stacked upon a lower oriented case by receiving the upper portion of each of the upstanding frames of the lower case in said corresponding channel and wherein said case is adapted to be nested by receiving one of the upstanding frames from each of two lower oriented cases in one of said slots.

• an upstanding frame extending upwardly from each said side wall;
• an elongated slot extending completely through said bottom, said slot being adjacent and substantially parallel to one of said side walls, said slot having a length and width adapted to receive one of the upstanding frames from two lower oriented cases, with the other upstanding frames passing along the outside of the other of said side wall.
