ABSTRACT:
A holder for to hold storage container(s) therein is disclosed. Each storage container has a lid with locking tabs or locking extension that hook underneath a protrusion around and near the top edge of the container to lock the lid to the container. The holder has a top with two downwardly extending sides with L-shaped extensions furthest from the top that create a ledge. The holder is attached to a surface. One or more containers with a lid locked thereto using the locking tabs or locking extensions are inserted into the holder and the underside of the locking tabs or locking extensions sit on the L-shaped extensions to support the container within the holder. There may be an interference fit between the container(s) with locked lid and the two downwardly extending sides that helps retain the container(s) within the holder and guarantees that two of the locking tabs are held in their locked position. A holder may have a rear overhang which only permits container(s) to be inserted into and removed from one end of the holder, otherwise they can be inserted into and removed from both ends. In alternative embodiments of the container(s) and holder there is a locking means that will not permit container(s) to be inserted into or removed from the holder until the locking means is deactivated; and a holder may hold one, two or more storage containers.
