ABSTRACT:
An assembly is disclosed comprising: (a) a coupling member comprising a cradle portion defining a container receiving space, and including a first side end having a first flange which extends into the receiving space and a second side end having a second flange which extends into the receiving space; and (b) a first container including one or more outer surface protuberances, wherein the first container is partially disposed in the container receiving space and at least a portion of the first flange and at least a portion of the second flange contact the outer surface of the first container to define a first region of the outer surface of the first container below the first flange and the second flange, wherein the one or more protuberances, disposed in the first region, minimize movement of the first region above the first flange and the second flange by engaging the first flange or the second flange when the first container is subjected to movement out of the receiving space, thereby coupling the first container to the coupling member.
