Abstract: A container (10) having a cover (42) mounted on a container body (32) that in turn is mounted to the interior surface (30) of a cabinet door (28) that uses an elastic, flexible filament (56) to automatically open and close the container cover (42) as the cabinet door (28) is opened and closed. The elastic, flexible filament (56) may be mounted to not only urge the cover (42) to move to an open position as the cabinet door (28) is opened, but also urge the cover (42) to move to a closed position when the door (28) is closed and hold the cover (42) in the closed position. With the device of the present invention, existing door-mounted containers can be quickly and easily installed or converted to use the present invention without requiring alteration of the cabinet structure. Furthermore, with the present invention, manual opening and closing of the container cover (42) is eliminated and the container cover (42) is held in the closed position.
