Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1277671A1] A storage device (1) comprises a container holder shaped as a base plate having therein on one side at least one recess (2) shaped to receive the mouth (14) of a corresponding generally cylindrical container (11). A set of lugs (4) project inwardly from the inside wall (5) of the recess in the holder. The lugs arc spaced from the base of the recess and from each other in such manner as to allow a corresponding set of container lugs (12) externally provided on the rim (13) surrounding the mouth of the container to pass through the spaces (6) between the holder lugs when the mouth of the container is entered into the recess. The container lugs are capable of passing above the holder lugs when the container is entered in an upright position into the recess in the holder, and the container is rotated in one direction to bring the corresponding sets of lugs into register with one another, with the container lugs above the holder lugs. The container is then supported in position within the device which is, for example, itself secured to the underside of a horizontal shelf. The container is removable from the holder by manual rotation of the container in the opposite direction, the rotation being sufficient to bring the container lugs into register with the spaces between the holder lugs, thus enabling the container to be removed from the holder. <IMAGE>
