Abstract:
1. A stackable tray obtained by vacuum molding of a sheet of plastic material, said tray comprising, in open position: a) a top and a bottom; b) a first portion with at least two rows of receiving cavities opened upwardly; c) at least a second portion hinged to the first portion; d) spacing means to keep, in a stack of trays, the top portion and the bottom portion of neighboring trays at distance from each other to thereby prevent interlocking, the spacing means comprising: at least one group of first stoppers each having a first horizontal support portion and a first slanted portion in an obtuse angle relation with the first horizontal support portion from top to bottom, and being positioned between one of the rows and the periphery of the tray; and at least one group of second stoppers each having a second horizontal support portion and a second slanted portion in an acute angle relation with the second horizontal support portion, and being positioned: whereby when the trays are stacked, the group of first stoppers of an upper tray are adjacent to but separated from the group of first stoppers of a lower tray, and the group of second stoppers of the upper tray are seated on the group of second stoppers of the lower tray, thereby preventing interlocking between trays about the periphery of the trays and interiorly of the periphery of the trays.
