First Claim
1. A container for the loading of bulk materials, such as construction debris, rubbish, industrial waste and capable of interstackability and of nesting, said container comprising upper longitudinal edges;
- said container having two outwardly slanting sides and having glide elements enabling it to slide supported along the upper longitudinal edges of the container immediately below it in a stack;
said upper longitudinal edges comprising longitudinal guides, said container having a lower section and an upper section;
wherein there are four glide elements with there being two respective glide elements, positioned one behind the other in a longitudinal direction, on said two outwardly slanting sides, and said glide elements are supported on said upper longitudinal edges;
four positioning adjusting elements with there being one on which each of said four glide elements is arranged;
four receptacle locking means mounted on the container with their being one for securing each of said positioning elements in an adjustable, movable position on the container, said four receptacle locking means being located with two respective receptacle means vertically positioned one behind the other in the longitudinal direction on said two outwardly slanting sides of said container; and
for achieving said interstackability, said glide elements being adjustable vertically downwardly by being provided on the container in such a way that when in their vertically downward position in the lower section of the container, the guide elements are positioned over the respective upper longitudinal edge of the container located immediately below it in the stack; and
,for achieving nesting of said containers, said glide elements being adjustable vertically upwardly.

Abstract
Container for the loading of bulk materials, such as construction debris, rubbish, industrial waste and the like which, for purposes of interstackability, displays outwardly slanting sides and glide elements enabling it to slide fully supported along the upper longitudinal edges of the container immediately below it in the stack, which edges function as longitudinal guides. To achieve this additonal interstackability, in particular with filled containers, glide elements, adjustable with respect to position, have been provided on the container. The guide elements are in such a way that when in their end position in the lower section of the container, they are positioned over the respective longitudinal edge of the container located immediately below it in the stack. Each glide element is arranged on a positioning element which is secured in adjustable, movable position on the container by a locking element mounted on the container.

6. A container for the loading of bulk materials, such as construction debris, rubbish, and industrial waste capable of interstackability and of nesting, said container comprising upper longitudinal edges;
-
said container having two outwardly slanting sides and having glide elements enabling it to slide supported along the upper longitudinal edges of the container immediately below it in a stack; said upper longitudinal edges comprising longitudinal guides, said container having a bottom; said container bottom having sides and having a centerline; wherein there are four glide elements with there being two respective glide elements, positioned one behind the other in a longitudinal direction on said upper longitudinal edges, and said glide elements are supported on said upper longitudinal edges; four positioning adjusting elements with there being one on which each of said four glide elements is arranged, each positioning element is on the upper longitudinal edge; four receptacle locking means mounted under the bottom of the container for securing each of said positioning elements in an adjustable, movable horizontal position under the bottom of the container, said four receptacle locking means being located with two respective receptacle means horizontally positioned one behind the other in the longitudinal direction on the sides of the bottom of the container; for achieving said interstackability, said glide elements being adjustable horizontally from said bottom sides toward said bottom centerline of the container immediately above it by being provided on the container in such a way that when in their horizontal position on the upper longitudinal edges of the container, the guide elements are positioned beneath the bottom of the container located immediately above it in the stack; and for achieving said nesting, said glide elements being adjustable horizontally from said bottom centerline of the container toward said upper longitudinal edges of the container. - View Dependent Claims (7)
