Abstract
A structure for removably securing a container to a planar supporting surface comprises a flexible plastic tape having an adhesive coating on a first portion of each of its two sides, and a second portion where there is no adhesive coating. The second portion forms a graspable tab to facilitate removal of the container from its supporting surface, and is retained in a position which is generally out of sight. De-adherence of the flexible plastic tape is achieved by stretching the tape from the graspable tab. Retaining means for the graspable tab may comprise a slot which is parallel to the back face of the container, located a distance away from the back face which is less than the length of the graspable tab; or it may also comprise a pair of opposed tabs spaced away from and substantially parallel to the face against which the graspable tab is placed.
