Abstract
A box or container assembly formed of plastics material and particularly adapted for use in a beverage syrup supply system is covered by opposed lid members whose exposed surface contains an organization of channel-defining projections for stacking superposed containers optionally in columnar- or cross-stacked array. A hinge arrangement effects release from the container of any lid subjected to an excessive lateral force and enables the lids, when open, to be held against the container body with minimal lateral flair for compact nesting. Various forms of access openings are described for accessing a syrup bag spigot and for attaching same when the container assembly forms part of a beverage syrup supply system.
