Abstract
A support system for a storage container includes an extendable slide assembly having a first end and a second end, and a support bracket removably receiving the first end of the extendable slide assembly to support the extendable slide assembly in a cantilevered manner. The second end of the extendable slide assembly is configured to support the storage container.
Claims20
A support system for a storage container comprising, in combination:
- an extendable slide assembly having a first end and a second end;
- wherein the second end of the extendable slide assembly is configured to support the storage container;
- and
- a support bracket removably receiving the first end of the extendable slide assembly to support the extendable slide assembly in a cantilevered manner.
A support bracket for supporting an extendable slide assembly in a cantilevered manner from a support, the extendable slide assembly having a first end for removable attachment to the support bracket and a second end for supporting a storage compartment, the support bracket comprising, in combination:
- a mounting portion configured to be secured to the support;
- and
- an attachment portion supported by the mounting portion and configured to removably receive the first end of the extendable slide assembly;
- and
- wherein the attachment portion includes at least one downward facing abutment configured to limit upward movement of the first end of the extendable slide assembly, at least one upward facing abutment configured to limit downward movement of the first end of the extendable slide assembly, a rearward facing abutment configured to limit forward movement of the first end of the extendable slide assembly.
An extendable slide assembly comprising, in combination:
- at least one pair of telescoping extendable members extending between a first end and a second end;
- a release actuator at second end which when activated, enables the extendable slide assembly to be extended and retracted;
- and
- a handle latch at the second end that releasably locks the extendable slide assembly against extending when the extendable slide assembly is fully retracted and the release actuator is actuated.
