Container

Claim 2

A container adapted for nesting and stacking with other similarly shaped containers, said container comprising a front face and a rear face, each of said front and rear faces having a substantially flat surface, the periphery of each of said front and rear faces forming a polygon, a plurality of integral substantially flat wall portions connectively engaging said front and rear faces, the number of said wall portions being equal to the number of sides in said polygon, at least two wall portions extending beyond the surface of said front face, oblique surface panels connecting said two wall portions with the surface of said front face, all other wall portions being attached to said front face at a common line of juncture, and said plurality of wall portions being similarly attached to said rear face.

Claim 3

A container according to claim 1 which includes a material outlet extending from one of the sidewalls.

Claim 4

A container according to claim 1 wherein the periphery of each of the front and rear faces form a polygon having an even number of sides and an even number of flat wall portions, every other wall portions being attached to said front face at a common line of juncture, the alternate wall portions extending beyond the surface of said front face and connected with the surface of said front face by said oblique surface panels.

Claim 5

A container according to claim 3 wherein the alternate wall portions extend laterally and are of a substantially trapezoidal peripheral outline.

Claim 6

A container according to claim 4 wherein a panel extends downwardly from the outer edge of the trapezoidal outline and connects with the surface of the front face, end portions extend downwardly from the nonparallel ends of the trapezoidal outline connectively engaging the surface of the front face and said panel.

Claim 7

A container adapted for nesting and stacking with other similarly shaped containers, said container comprising a front face and a rear face, each of said front and rear faces having a substantially flat surface, the periphery of each of said front and rear faces forming an octagon, integral flat wall portions connectively engaging said front and rear faces, said flat wall portions including a top wall having a material outlet extending therefrom, a bottom wall, and two series of integral sidewalls, said top wall, bottom wall and the intermediate walls of each series being attached to the front face at common lines of juncture, lateral extension areas projecting outwardly from the remaining sidewalls; each of the lateral extensions having a substantially trapezoidal peripheral outline, a panel extending dOwnwardly and inwardly from the outer parallel edge of the trapezoid and connectively engaging the front face, end portions extending downwardly from the nonparallel ends of the trapezoid and connectively engaging the surface of the front face and said panel, and said flat wall portions being similarly attached to the rear face.

Claim 8

A container adapted for nesting and stacking with other similarly shaped containers, said container comprising a front face and a rear face, each of said front and rear faces having a substantially flat surface, the periphery of each of said front and rear faces forming an octagon, integral flat wall portions connectively engaging said front and rear faces, said flat wall portions including a top wall having a material outlet extending therefrom, a bottom wall, and two series of integral sidewalls, said top wall, bottom wall and the intermediate walls of each series being attached to the front face at common lines of juncture, lateral extension areas projecting outwardly from the remaining sidewalls; each of the lateral extensions having a substantially trapezoidal peripheral outline, a panel extending dOwnwardly and inwardly from the outer parallel edge of the trapezoid and connectively engaging the front face, end portions extending downwardly from the nonparallel ends of the trapezoid and connectively engaging the surface of the front face and said panel, and said flat wall portions being similarly attached to the rear face.
