ABSTRACT:
The present invention has a radius rectangular base with a platform lying in a base plane. Four slots are through, the base in a generally rectangular configuration around the perimeter of the base. Four members are provided, one for being removeably inserted into each slot. The members preferably snap fit into the base, and have lengths that upstand from the base. Each member has a wall lying in a respective plane. The members are resiliently deflectable throughout their respective lengths that upstand from the base. Each side member deflects so that the top of a container received within the present invention rests on the surface of the base. The side members engage the body of the container to keep it in an inverted and vertical orientation. The center of gravity of the container is kept as low as possible in this regard.
