## Abstract

A container and lid storage device is provided. The container and lid storage device includes a telescopic spine connected to a planar base, wherein the telescopic spine provides a plurality of support arms movable between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. A support hand is provided along a distal end of each support arm, each support hand dimensioned and adapted for supporting a plurality of containers, wherein each support hand is adapted to support a predetermined size different than that of an adjacent support hand. As a result, in the collapsed condition the support hand nests in downwardly adjacent containers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A container and lid system, comprising:
a container having an opening;
a lid having an inner surface dimensioned to be at least coextensive with the opening when the lid is in a first orientation; and
one or more attachment points provided along the inner surface, wherein each attachment point removably engages an exterior of the container when the lid is in a second orientation transverse to the first orientation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The container and lid system of claim 1, wherein the one or more attachment points comprise an array.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The container and lid system of claim 1, further comprising a protrusion attached along said exterior of the container, wherein each attachment point removably engages the protrusion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The container and lid system of claim 1, wherein each attachment point removably engages the container downward of a peripheral upper edge defining said opening.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The container and lid system of claim 1, wherein each attachment point comprises one or more lugs.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The container and lid system of claim 3, wherein each attachment point comprises one or more lugs for frictionally engaging the protrusion.
