Abstract
A stackable storage bin includes a body having a rim extending around an open top. A first angled slot is formed in an upper edge of each side wall adjacent a rear end thereof and a vertical second slot is formed in the upper edge of each side wall at a position forwardly from the first slot. An angled first tab is formed adjacent the bottom edge of each side wall in a position vertically aligned with the first slot and a vertical second tab is formed adjacent a bottom edge of each side wall at a position vertically aligned with the vertical second slot whereby when two of the bins are in the vertically stacked array, the tabs on the bottom of an upper bin engage the slots on the lower bin to interlock the two bins together.
