Abstract
Example illustrations herein are directed to an apparatus comprising a bin, and an expansion clamp coupled to a base of the bin. The expansion clamp is configured to be extended from the base to secure the base to a slot. The apparatus also includes a lever of the bin configured to actuate the expansion clamp. Other examples are directed to a storage bin that comprises a base, a frame extending from the base, one or more flexible walls retained by the frame, and an expansion clamp coupled to the base. The expansion clamp may be configured to be extended from the base to secure the base to a slot. The storage bin may also include a lever on an outer surface of the bin, the lever configured to actuate the expansion clamp.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a bin comprising:
- an expansion clamp coupled to a base of the bin, wherein the expansion clamp comprises a plunger;
- a lever of the bin configured to actuate the expansion clamp;
- and
- a linkage connecting the lever to a slidable member with a pivot, wherein the slidable member comprises a cam configured to cause the plunger to extend further into a slot from the base to secure the base to the slot.
A storage bin, comprising:
- a base;
- a frame extending from the base;
- one or more flexible walls retained by the frame;
- an expansion clamp coupled to the base, wherein the expansion clamp comprises a plunger;
- a lever on an outer surface of the storage bin, the lever configured to actuate the expansion clamp;
- and
- a linkage connecting the lever to a slidable member with a pivot, wherein the slidable member includes a cam configured to cause the plunger to extend into a slot from the base to secure the base to the slot.
A latch assembly, comprising:
- an expansion clamp configured to secure the latch assembly to a slot, wherein the expansion clamp comprises a latch foot, a plunger, and a stem extending to the latch foot, and wherein the latch foot is configured to be received in the slot;
- a lever configured to be positioned on an outer surface of an apparatus;
- and
