Definitions
- the present invention relates to thermoplastic containers, and more particularly to a device for suspending thermoplastic containers.
- Containers for the storage of items are well known. Such containers are used to store a variety of articles, from food to general household items including everything from craft supplies to children's toys. Generally, such containers can be characterized by shape, size, and the presence or absence of a lid. Containers that do not include a lid require a separate sealing member, such as a plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Often, the plastic wrap or aluminum foil is loose or jostled during movement of the container, and hence, the container is usually not properly sealed or closed to prevent contents therein from spilling. Containers that include lids overcome this problem.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,241,668 discloses a frame for mounting a container and a cover below a supply shelf.
- the frame is suspended from spaced apart rails depending from the supply shelf by multiple hooks.
- the frame includes side beams with inwardly extending flanges for engaging the container and cover and allowing the container and lid to be inserted and removed from the frame.
- Bross U.S. Patent No. 4,632,472 discloses a slidable drawer system mounted below a shelf. Guide rails are mounted to the shelf and receive flanges of the drawer, wherein the drawer slides in and out of the guide rails. A finger is attached to each guide rail wherein the fingers contact the rear wall of the drawer to prevent removal of the drawer from the guide rails in a first direction. To completely disengage the drawer from the guide rails the fingers must be pushed upwardly away from the rear wall to disengage the drawer from the guide rails.
- a front portion of the drawer includes extending side walls that contact the guide rails as the drawer is being pushed inwardly, thus preventing the drawer from sliding out of the housing in a second direction.
- a suspension device includes a main member and a support member extending from the main member and having a first interference fit with a container.
- the suspension device further includes a wall member extending from the support member and having a second interference fit with the container.
