Abstract:
1. A mounting bracket for use in combination with a container, the combination comprising: a container having a continuous wall extending from a bottom to an upper edge, and further having a mounting flange extending outwardly from a portion of the continuous wall, the mounting flange including an outer surface, and further including an upper edge, lower edge and a pair of distal sides; and a mounting bracket having a support side adapted to be positioned towards the continuous wall of the container, the support side including a notched section configured to capture the container therein, the notched section is defined by having a base extending outwardly from the support side and a pair of lateral faces extending away from side edges defined by the base and extending along the support side upwardly away from the base, each lateral face includes an inwardly turned member positioned along a portion thereof and which extends towards the other member such that the notched section is configured to receive the distal sides of the mounting flange between the support side of the mounting bracket and the inwardly turned members, and wherein the mounting bracket further includes a locking wedge positioned on the support side, the locking wedge having a lower locking edge configured to engage and secure against the upper edge of the mounting flange when the container is positioned within the mounting bracket thereby locking the container within the mounting bracket, and wherein the mounting bracket further includes a slot extending from one of the distal sides of the mounting bracket towards the other distal side of the mounting bracket creating an arm portion, the slot is further defined at a position adjacent the lower locking edge such that the locking wedge is located on the arm portion, the slot is configured to allow the arm portion to move away from the container when a force is applied against the arm portion, wherein movement of the arm portion is further configured to cause the locking wedge to move and the lower locking edge to disengage against the upper side of the mounting flange allowing the container to be removed from the mounting bracket.
