Abstract
A multi-part, multi-use container, having a larger, lower portion, particularly suitable for transporting large, relatively heavy items, such as vehicle glazings, and a smaller, upper portion particularly suitable for transporting accessories for use with vehicle glazings is disclosed. The upper portion of the container is formed from a combination of a plurality of vertically extending support members arranged in a predetermined pattern, and one or more horizontal support trays having slots formed therein in locations to coincide with the locations of, at least, a portion of the vertically extending support members, in order to form an interlocking structure of one or more tiers suitable for transporting, without damage, accessory items such as flexible polymeric gaskets.
