Claim 14:
15. A container, comprising:
a bottom;
side walls extending upwards from an upper side of the bottom; and
at least one support plate spaced from a lower side of the bottom, which is connected to the lower side of the bottom via ribs extending transversely to the bottom and transversely to the at least one support plate,
wherein:
at least two projections project laterally from at least one edge portion of the at least one support plate extending along at least one side wall of the side walls,
at least two support indentations are formed in an upper edge portion of the at least one side wall for receiving at least two projections of a support plate of an identically constructed container stacked thereon,
at least two laterally projecting projections are also formed on a second edge portion of the at least one support plate, wherein the second edge portion is opposite the at least one edge portion of the at least one support plate,
a side wall that is opposite the at least one side wall also comprises at least two support indentations in the upper edge portion for receiving at least two laterally projecting projections of a support plate of an identically constructed container stacked thereon,
at edge portions of the bottom, which extend along edge portions of the at least one support plate provided with at least two projections in each case, at least one column is formed which extends transversely downwards to the bottom, wherein the at least one column projects downwards from the container by less than the at least one support plate and projects outwards from the container by less than the at least four projections on the at least one support plate, and
the edge portions of the side walls, facing away from the bottom, which are provided with at least two support indentations in each case and corresponding support indentations are coordinated with the projections on the support plate and the columns in such a way that, in a state in which the container is stacked on an identically constructed container, a lateral displacement of the container is prevented, a lateral displacement of the container in relation to the identically constructed container is limited and/or prevented by cooperation of the columns with an inner side of side walls of the identically constructed container, and the projections of the at least one support plate of the container do not touch inner surfaces of corresponding support indentations of the identically constructed container.
