- (57) Abstract
An apparatus is configured to allow removable attachment of a container to a structure. The apparatus includes a mount, a retainer, and a first fastener. The mount includes a first leg including a first plurality of apertures; and a first latch portion. The retainer is pivotally connected to the mount and includes a second latch portion configured for cooperation with the first latch portion. The first fastener is configured to pass through one of the plurality of apertures and a first portion of the container. A method is described for removably attaching a container to a bracket located at a corner of a stall. The method includes aligning a hole of the container with a peg of the mount, passing the peg through the hole, closing the bracket by moving the retainer relative to the mount, and securing the mount and retainer in a closed configuration.

Claims (16)
- An apparatus configured to allow removable attachment of a container to a structure, the apparatus including: a mount including: a first leg including a first plurality of apertures; and a first latch portion; a retainer pivotally connected to the mount and including a second latch portion configured for cooperation with the first latch portion; and a first fastener configured to pass through one of the plurality of apertures and a first portion of the container.
- The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the mount further includes a second leg including a second plurality of apertures.
- The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the first leg and the second leg are oriented at a right angle with respect to each other.
- The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the retainer further includes third and fourth legs oriented at a right angle with respect to each other.
- The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the third leg includes: a substantially planar surface; and a plurality of first flanges extending substantially orthogonally from the substantially planar surface.
- The apparatus of claim 5 wherein adjacent flanges of the plurality of first flanges are separated by a gap.
- The apparatus of claim 5 further including a second flange extending substantially orthogonally from a second edge the surface.
- The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the second flange is substantially parallel to at least one of the plurality of first flanges.
- The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the substantially planar surface extends to the fourth leg, and wherein the apparatus includes a second flange extending substantially orthogonally from an edge of the surface at the fourth leg.
- The apparatus of claim 1 further including a second fastener configured to pass through a second of the plurality of apertures and a second portion of the container.
- The apparatus of claim 10 wherein a distance between the first and second fasteners is adjustable.
- A method for removably attaching a container to a bracket located at a corner of an enclosure at which first and second walls meet, wherein the bracket includes a mount and a retainer, the method including: aligning a hole of the container with a peg of the mount; passing the peg through the hole; closing the bracket by moving the retainer relative to the mount; and securing the mount and retainer in a closed configuration.
- The method of claim 12 wherein securing the mount and retainer in a closed configuration includes latching together a first latch portion located on the mount and a second latch portion located on the retainer.
- The method of claim 12 wherein aligning the hole of the container with the peg of the mount includes adjusting a position of the peg on the mount.
- The method of claim 12 wherein closing the bracket includes pivoting the retainer about a hinge connecting the retainer and the mount.
- The method of claim 12 further including attaching the bracket to the first and second walls.
