Claims20
A system for attachment to an open bottom of a container having a plurality of container sidewalls, the system comprising:
- an adapter including a major flange having a container-abutting face, and a minor flange having a pan-abutting face, wherein the major flange is vertically offset from the minor flange;
- and
- a pan, configured to be releasably coupleable to the adapter, the pan including a plurality of pan sidewalls connected between a bottom pan portion and an attachment flange,
- wherein the adapter is configured to be connected to the container such that the container-abutting face of the major flange is generally orthogonal to the plurality of container sidewalls, and
- wherein the attachment flange of the pan is releasably coupleable to the pan-abutting face of the adapter via a plurality of fasteners, the system configured such that the pan can be coupled to or uncoupled from the adapter without accessing an interior of the container.

A system for attachment to an open bottom of a container having a plurality of container sidewalls, the system comprising:
- an adapter including a container-abutting face on a first side, and a pan-abutting face on an opposing second side;
- and
- a pan, configured to be releasably coupleable to the adapter, the pan including a plurality of pan sidewalls connected between a bottom pan portion and an attachment flange,
- wherein the adapter is configured to be connected to the container such that the container-abutting face is generally orthogonal to the plurality of container sidewalls,
- wherein the attachment flange of the pan is releasably coupleable to the second side of the adapter, and
- wherein the second side of the adapter includes a plurality of stud fasteners, and wherein the attachment flange of the pan is releasably coupleable to the second side of the adapter via the plurality of stud fasteners.
