ABSTRACT:
A lockable lid support that includes a mounting bracket, an arm, pivoting apparatus, and sliding and locking apparatus. The mounting bracket is removably mounted to a lid of a box that is pivotally mounted to a lower portion of the box. The arm is pivotally mounted at one end to the lower portion of the box and slidably and locking mounted at another end to the mounting bracket. The pivoting apparatus pivotally mounts the one end of the arm to the lower portion of the box, so that the lid of the box can be pivoted relative to the lower portion of the box from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. And, the sliding and locking apparatus slidingly and lockingly mounts the other end of the arm to the mounting bracket, so that when the lid of the box is pivoted relative to the lower portion of the box to a desired position the lid of the box is maintained in the desired position.
