Abstract
A rectangular shaped food products storage and transfer vessel having an integral sanitary top rail structure triangular in cross-section and formed by being bent downward from the upper edges of the respective side-wall panels of the vessel, the lowermost depending edges of the rail members thus formed being joined to the upper external sidewalls of the vessel by means of a continuous exposed weld and the sidewall rail structure terminal positions at the respective upper external corners of the vessel being closed by separately formed corner members weldably affixed thereto to form a continuous closed rail structure about the upper open periphery of the vessel and thereby provide an easily cleanable reinforced protective top edge member for the vessel.
