Stackable bins

A stackable bin comprising:

• two spaced apart side walls, each having a front edge, a rear edge, an upper edge and a lower edge;
• a rear wall having opposite side edges connecting said rear edges of said side walls together, and said rear wall further having an upper edge and a lower edge;
• said side walls and said rear wall being slightly inclined inwardly with respect to a vertical plane from the upper edge to the lower edge thereof such that the lower edges of said side walls and a rear wall of a second said stackable bin fit within the upper edges of said side walls and said rear wall to form a supporting stackable arrangement therewith;
• a bottom wall connected to lower portions of said side walls and said rear wall;
• a partition wall extending generally parallel to said side walls and extending therebetween, said partition wall including an upper edge, a lower edge connected with said bottom wall, a front face and a rear face connected with said rear wall:
• a first compartment defined by one said side wall, said rear wall, said bottom wall and said partition wall;
• a second compartment defined by the other said side wall, said rear wall, said bottom wall and said partition wall;
• said first and second compartments being open at front ends thereof defined between front edges of said partition wall and respective said side walls;
• a channel extending parallel to and in alignment with said partition wall, and formed at an underside of said bottom wall, for receiving the upper edge of a partition wall of a third said stackable bin therein to form a supporting stackable arrangement therewith;
• vertically oriented rib means, provided on outer surfaces of said side walls, for further supporting said stackable bin on the upper edges of side walls of said third stackable bin, and for increasing structural rigidity of said side walls;
• and
• means for preventing forward sliding movement of said stackable bin when stacked on said third stackable bin, said means for preventing forward sliding movement of said stackable bin including:
• an elongated post formed at the front face of said partition wall and extending from said bottom wall to a position above the upper edge of said partition wall so as to define a post extension, and
• a recess at a lower end of said elongated post for receiving a post extension of said third stackable bin, to thereby prevent forward sliding movement of said stackable bin in relation to said third stackable bin.
