  • Patent number: 5649638
    Abstract: A device for joining a first face of a first container to a second face of a second container, in which the first face and the second face are alignable along a longitudinal axis, includes a plurality of hooks and a hook receiving portion. The plurality of hooks are spaced around a periphery of the first face of the first container. The hooks have tips and are movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The hook receiving portion is disposed around a periphery of the second face of the second container. The hook receiving portion includes a groove shaped to receive the tips of the hooks so that the first container can be joined to the second container. As a result, the device permits two containers to be joined securely yet disassembled quickly.
