    Abstract: A bracket for removably supporting a dental floss container on a support surface is a one-piece plastic member having a back wall, a pair of spaced side walls with inturned end flanges and a bottom wall which form a pocket therebetween for slidably receiving and supporting the container therein. A pair of tapered ribs extend along the back wall for tilting an upper portion of the container forward to facilitate opening of a container lid.
