Container rack

A container rack for pliable bottles, the container rack having a frame and one or more bottle receptacles extending in a horizontal direction into the frame. Each bottle receptacles has a liner wall having a generally circular profile as viewed along the horizontal direction, and a support wall extending radially inward from the liner wall within a lower-most quadrant of the generally circular profile of the liner wall. The support wall has a base portion and a plurality of ribs extending along the horizontal direction and protruding away from the base portion to respective distal ends with the base portion between the distal ends and the generally circular profile of the liner wall. The respective distal ends define a support surface configured to support at least one pliable bottle.

A pallet including a pallet deck supported along a base plane. The pallet deck defines a load support surface within a given perimeter. The pallet deck includes at least one hand hole extending therethrough. The at least one hand hole is defined by a circumferential wall extending below the load support surface. The circumferential wall has a lower edge with a curved surface defined along at least a portion of the lower edge of the circumferential wall.

A bakery tray includes a base and a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from side edges of the base. Front and rear walls extend upward from front and rear edges of the base. A plurality of recesses for receiving bakery items therein are formed in the base. This increases the number of bakery items that can be received in the tray and/or permits a decrease in the stacking height of the trays, thereby permitting another tray to be received on the stack. In one embodiment, the recesses are a plurality of parallel troughs formed in an upper surface of the base. In another embodiment, the plurality of recesses are formed in the ribs in the base, such that the bakery items are received in the recesses.

Bakery tray

A collapsible container according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base and a plurality of walls, including a first wall, collapsible onto the base. A support is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the first wall, such that an identical container would stack on the collapsible container at a first height when the support is in the first position and at a second height when the support is in the second position. In another embodiment, different stacking heights can be achieved by rotating the upper container 180 degrees relative to the lower container.

Dual height collapsible container

A storage system includes a tray that can be stored on automated storage and retrieval racks. A tub is removably securable to the tray. The tub includes a bottom wall, a pair of opposed side walls and a pair of opposed end walls. The bottom wall of the tub is removably secured to the tray. Thus, some of the trays in the storage system can be provided with tubs for the storage of loose items.

Tub and tray assembly

A nestable pallet includes a deck having an upper panel, a lower panel and a plurality of ribs extending perpendicularly from the upper panel to the lower panel. The upper panel further includes a plurality of openings for receiving feet of a similar pallet when nested. The lower panel further includes a plurality of feet extending downward from the deck, each foot having a cavity defined therein lined within one of the plurality of openings in the upper panel. Each cavity is configured to receive a foot from a similar pallet when nested therein.

Nestable pallet

A stacking crate for bottles has a plurality of tapered pylons extending upward from a periphery of a floor. A rib extends downwardly in the interior of a cavity in each pylon. Each pylon further includes a slot in an upper surface of the pylon substantially aligned with the rib. When similar crates are nested, the ribs in the pylons of one crate will rest in the slots in the upper surface of the pylons of the lower crate, thus permitting the crates to be nested.

Stacking crates

A container includes a plurality of walls extending upward from a base. At least one support is movable between a retracted position and a support position. Resilient tabs are provided to prevent inadvertent movement of the support out of the support position.

Container

A nestable crate for bottles which includes a floor member and first and second pairs of opposed sidewalls integrally formed with the floor member. Each sidewall includes a side band member which is defined by a centrally disposed upper edge and lower edge. The lower edge is spaced above the floor member by a predetermined distance to define a sidewall nesting area therebelow. The upper and lower edges each contoured downwardly to form a corner band portion having a corner upper edge and corner lower edge, wherein each nesting area matingly receives a corresponding side band member of a crate nested subjacent thereto.

Bottle crate

A collapsible container includes a plurality of walls collapsible onto the base. A first wall has a support pivotable between a support position where it is partially supported on an adjacent wall and a retracted position. An adjacent wall has a stop formed thereon which forces the support into the support position when the first wall is moved to the upright position.
