Claim Text:
1. A system for restraining containers in a storage rack comprising: a first component including a pair of spaced-apart elongate side members each having a front end and a rear end, each of the first component side members including a pair of individual elongate members which are fixed together by at least two spaced-apart plates, and a closed track formed between the first component elongate side members, the plate located closest to the rear end of each of the first component side members having formations for fixing the side members in a spaced-apart manner to a rack or framework, and a bolt member fitted to at least one of the plates located closest to the front end of the first component side members, a container supporting component slidably mounted between fully extended and un-extended positions to the first component elongate side member tracks having a pair of spaced-apart L-shaped elongate side members arranged as mirror images of each other, a rear wall extending between the container supporting component side members, one or more base members, a clasp or latch member pivotably connected to at least one of the container supporting component side members along a front end of the side member, an aperture located on the rear wall or a surface of the container supporting component side members near the rear wall, and a loop member extending outwardly from a side surface near the front end of a container supporting component side member in a location to receive the bolt member on the first component side member when the container supporting component is in a fully un-extended position with respect to the first component, and a container having front, rear, side, and lower surfaces, and a lid member, the lower surface adapted to be slidably supported on the one or more base members of the container supporting component between the container supporting component side members, a first projection on the rear surface or a side surface near the rear surface of the container which when the rear surface of the container is slid into contact with the rear wall of the container supporting component protrudes into the aperture on the container supporting component, and a second projection on a side surface towards the front surface of the container which when the rear surface of the container is slid into contact with the rear wall of the container support component releasably engages with the clasp or latch member on the container supporting component, securing the container against both slidable and vertical movement with respect to the container supporting component.
