| (54) | Container mounting bracket |
| (57) A container mounting system includes mounting bracket and container components. The
mounting bracket component generally includes a rear plate member and at least one
mounting flange fixed to the plate member to define a space therebetween. The mounting
flange pierces a wall of a container such that another wall of the container is disposed
in the space between the mounting flange and rear plate member. Structure to capture
a portion of the container when in a mounted position on the bracket is provided to
resist forces tending to separate the container from the bracket while yet permitting
a user to remove the container from the bracket when desired. Guide surfaces disposed
in the space between the mounting flange and the rear plate member bias the container
away from obstructions, such as screw heads or the like, during mounting of the container
onto the bracket. The container component includes opposing pairs of walls which define
an interior cavity. One of the walls having a linear array of alternating cut and
uncut portions disposed substantially parallel to and separated from a corner defined
by a wall mutually perpendicular to the one wall so that the linear array registers
with the mounting flange of the mounting bracket component. |
