A stackable tray for paper stock, drawings sheets, or the like comprising a bottom panel, opposing side walls extending upwardly from the bottom panel along the side edges thereof, and front and walls extending upwardly from the bottom panel along the front and rear edges thereof. The front wall is comprised of a pair of spaced apart front wall segments defining an opening traversing substantially the length of the tray. The walls define a top ledge extending upwardly and a bottom ledge extending downwardly. The top and bottom ledges are sized and positioned so that the top ledge of one tray is received within and bounded by the bottom ledge of a like tray when the trays are stacked, or vice versa. The bottom panel defines a plurality of recesses aligned in rows and columns. A cross brace traverses each tray and is received within a recess formed in the underside of the bottom panel. The walls and bottom panel are molded to form inner and outer shell segments with a hollow cavity therebetween, with the lower shell segment of each square recess extending upwardly adjacent to the upper shell segment of the bottom panel. The trays may be stacked with the openings facing the same or opposing directions relative to one another. Each tray will support a large weight of paper stock without flexing or bending to obstruct the opening of a tray lower in the column, and without breaking or becoming dislodged.
A stackable tray comprising a body formed of rigid plastics material and consisting of a bottom wall integrally formed with opposite side walls and opposite front and rear walls; the front wall, at least, defines an access area to allow removal of articles from the bottom wall when the tray is in a superposed stacked relationship with similarly constructed trays; the front wall has an upper edge defining an enclosed tubular section extending from side wall to side wall to reinforce the tray when in a stacked relationship with similarly constructed trays and to counteract sagging of the bottom wall due to weight of articles placed thereon.
An assembly of stacked modular containers for handling, transporting and storing microscope specimen slides is described. The side walls of the rectangular-shaped containers have slide interconnections so that the containers may be longitudinally slid relative to one another. A releasable locking arrangement is provided on the extension of one of the other container walls to prevent unwarranted longitudinal sliding movement of the containers and to retain them in a secured stack formation. The extension of the container wall is made flexible to enable manual disengagement of locking members on the extension to thereby allow the sliding of containers for insertion or removal of slides into and from the containers.
A sectional system for constructing newspaper and other periodical stands in a variety of different configurations. The system includes a plurality of generally U-shaped sections that are stackable upon each other. The sections are preferably formed of spin-molded plastic and include a base section, a shelf section and a display section. The shelf section comprises a horizontal display section while the display section comprises an angled display section.
A display package for merchandising articles of commerce with first and second package portions. The first package portion has side walls with outwardly extending tabs, a first interface region, and a back wall with an outwardly extending first cavity portion, with the first cavity portion having a first engagement formed thereon. The second package portion has side walls, a second interface region, and a front wall with an outwardly extending second cavity portion with a second engagement formed thereon. The first and second package portions fit together along their interface regions. A plurality of display packages can be interconnected by engaging the first engagement of one display package with the second engagement of an adjacent display package. When interconnected, the tabs of one display package will be positioned next to the side walls of an adjacent display package thereby forming a space between the adjacent display packages. Additional outwardly extended tabs located along a base wall provide a stabilizing function enabling the packages to stand separately and unsupported.
