Abstract

A housing for holding containers therein is disclosed. The housing features an open-bottomed, elongated, hollow body member which member has the conventional sidewalls and top wall, and a removable bottom wall member which cooperates with the open bottom of the elongated, hollow body member to close off the bottom thereof. Latching members, which are part of the bottom wall member, are lockably engageable with engaging members formed in the interior and at the bottom portion of the elongated, hollow body member. The latches lock the bottom wall member to the elongated, hollow body member by means of force exerted by torsion members connected to the latching members and carried by the bottom wall member.
