Mesh covered nested display containers

Claim 1

In a display container, the combination comprising: a. an upright container, nestable with another of corresponding shape and size, having upwardly and outwardly tapered, transparent, lateral side walls, with free terminal upper edges defining the outline of an open upper end and a horizontal bottom wall closing the lower end of said container; b. an elongated, tubular envelope of open work, flexible, resilient, thread-like mesh material open at one end and closed at its other end resiliently expandable radially thereof from a normally radially contracted untensioned, wrinkle-free condition substantially less than the diameter of said container, to an expanded, raidally tensioned, wrinkle-free condition at least equal to the maximum outside diameter of said container; c. said envelope enclosing said container with its closed end extending horizontally below said bottom wall and the remaining portions thereof, in succession from said closed end of said envelope, extending in said radially evenly expanded, tensioned, condition over and yieldably against the outer surface of said lateral side walls and said upper free edges, and then downwardly into said container in a progressively contracted, but yieldably radially expandable, condition with said open end of said envelope terminating adjacent the bottom of said container, whereby said portion extending downwardly into said container will be radially expandable under the influence of another container of corresponding shape and size being nested within a container enclosed by said envelope.
