Abstract
A connector for detachably securing together stacked molded plastic trays, which connector has a resilient tab projecting from a lower tray which slides into a slot in the tray above. Each slot has a rib rising from the tray bottom along one edge of the slot and a leaf spring integrally molded with the tray side wall opposite the rib. When the tab is inserted in the slot, the spring urges the tab against the rib and a lip on the tab hooks over the top edge of the rib.
