Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a container system that aims to have the benefits of previous designs while also overcoming their limitations. The technical effects of this invention are increased efficiency, improved functionality, and enhanced user experience.

Problems solved by technology

While such packaging of pods is convenient for retail display, and for transporting pods from the place of purchase to a home or office, this packaging does not lend itself to easy access or storage of the pods for a user because, for instance, the packaging does not facilitate ready display of the variety of pods that may be in such packaging, and because such packaging may occupy more space than is necessary to show and represent the variety of flavors or blends that a user has purchased.
These attempts suffer from a number of drawbacks, however.
While storage trays that may hold a plurality of items are known, such storage trays are not versatile for at least the reason that they are mechanically complex, because they require hardware to be installed at / attached to a location, and because they cannot be easily uninstalled and moved to a variety of different installation locations.
The '696 patent requires a large number of parts to accomplish the installation of the drawer, and the requirement that clamps attach to more than one side of the shelf complicates the installation process.

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,
