Container System

Abstract

A container system includes a tray support unit and at least one tray. The tray is received in tray guides of the tray support unit that allow the tray to extend from and retract into the tray support unit. The tray support unit includes a bracket with a pair of arms, a frame and a compression element, which components facilitate secure but removable attachment of the container system to a fixed item without the need for tools or hardware. The tray may comprise a plurality of apertures for securely receiving a plurality of items within the tray. Additionally, removable walls may be placed within the perimeter of the tray to configure customized compartmentalization of the tray,

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container system, the system comprising a tray support unit and at least one tray,
 wherein said tray support unit comprises a bracket, said bracket comprising a pair of arms, a frame, at least one tray guide, and a compression element,
 wherein said pair of arms is disposed away from said frame and tray guide such that the tray support unit may removably attach to an object by disposing said object between said pair of arms and said frame and tray guide, and 
 wherein said compression element may impart a force on the object to which the tray support unit is removably attached to facilitate attachment of the tray support unit to the object, 
 wherein said at least one tray guide comprises an uninterrupted surface that may accept a portion of the tray to direct movement of the tray along the surface of the at least one tray guide, 
   wherein said tray comprises at least one engagement feature, which at least one engagement feature may be disposed against and received along the uninterrupted surface of the at least one tray guide for directing movement of the tray   and wherein said tray support unit and said tray comprises complementary engagement features such that said at least one tray may retract toward or extend away from said tray support unit when said at least one tray is received within said at least one tray guide.   
     
     
         2 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one tray further comprises a plurality of apertures thereon. 
     
     
         3 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one tray further comprises at least one removable wall disposed within a perimeter of the tray. 
     
     
         4 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of arms of said bracket comprises a frictional element thereon. 
     
     
         5 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein said compression element comprises a clip that is biased by a spring. 
     
     
         6 . The container system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one tray insert that may be disposed on the tray. 
     
     
         7 . The container system of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one tray insert of  claim 7  further comprises at least one aperture thereon.
