Patent ID: 8511484

Claim:
A container system comprising: an L-shaped first rack having a bottom side substantially orthogonally fixed with a rear side, an elongated first slidable attachment means fixed with a front surface of the rear side; a plurality of containers each having a rim defining an opening thereof, and first hanger projecting away from the rim and adapted to slidably engage the first slidable attachment means of the first rack, the plurality of containers each being mutually nestable; an L-shaped second rack having a bottom side substantially orthogonally fixed with a rear side, an elongated second slidable attachment means fixed with a front surface of the rear side; a plurality of lids each having a rim seal engageable with the rim of one of the containers to seal the container, and a second hanger projecting away from the rim seal and adapted to slidably engage the second slidable attachment means of the second rack, the plurality of lids each being mutually nestable; whereby with the first rack mounted either horizontally with the rear side up, or vertically with the bottom side down, the first hanger of each container is successively introduced to the first slidable attachment means and slid towards the bottom side of the first rack, each successive container being nested with the next adjacent container, the first slidable attachment means cooperating with each first hanger of each container to retain each container onto the first rack, and whereby with the second rack mounted either horizontally with the rear side up, or vertically with the bottom side down, the second hanger of each lid is successively introduced to the second slidable attachment means and slid towards the bottom side of the second rack, each successive lid being nested with the next adjacent lid, the second slidable attachment means cooperating with each second hanger of each lid to retain each lid onto the second rack.
