  • Publication number: 20240190612
    Abstract: A system for securing a first container to a second container comprises an upper locking portion and a lower locking portion. A first protrusion of the upper locking portion abuts the second container and restricts movement of the second container in the locked position. A surface of a second body of the lower locking portion is configured to receive a force and to cause the lower locking portion to rotate about a second pivot to an unlocked position. The rotation of the lower locking portion to the unlocked position causes a second protrusion of the upper locking portion to abut a first body of the upper locking portion and cause the upper locking portion to rotate to an unlocked position. The rotation of the upper locking portion to the unlocked position causes the first protrusion to disengage from the second container.
