A stackable case has a base wall, a pair of opposed side walls and a back wall which are molded together to form a unitary crate structure with an open top and an open front. The open top and open front are designed to provide access to the articles to be accommodated in the crate structure. The base wall is arranged so that its upper surface provides a low friction, article-carrying floor inclined downwardly toward the open front. Partitions are provided to divide the floor area into two or more parallel tracks for receiving articles in rows. The tracks extend forward from the back wall so that the articles in each track are carried by the floor and are allowed to gravity feed toward the open front. A front stopper is provided at the open front for engagement with the leading article in each track to prevent the leading article from falling out of the crate structure. The lower edges of the side walls are arranged to cooperate with a lower adjacent like case so that the cases are permitted to be stacked one on the other.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A stackable case for transport and merchandising of articles, comprising:a plurality of case walls molded together to form a unitary crate structure having an open top and an open front for providing access to articles within said crate structure, said case walls including a base wall, a pair of opposed side walls, and a back wall, said base wall having an upper surface for providing a floor inclined downwardly to said open front so that articles slide thereon;at least one partition upstanding from said base wall and defining, in cooperation with said side walls, a plurality of parallel tracks for receiving articles in rows, said tracks extending forward from said back wall so that articles in each of said tracks are carried by said floor and allowed to gravity feed toward said open front along said each track;a front stopper provided at said open front for engagement with a leading article in said each track to prevent said leading article from falling out of said crate structure until removal thereof is desired;stacking means for permitting stacking of said case on a lower adjacent like case, said stacking means comprising lower edges of said side walls arranged to cooperate with said lower adjacent like case; andan upper front cross member extending between said side walls, wherein a lower edge of said upper front cross member, front edges of said side walls and a top of said front stopper cooperatively define said open front through which articles may be removed from said crate structure.
