The latches which engage the engagement details in the engaged position prevent the platform from retreating towards the bottom end when the latch is in the engaged position. In another embodiment the container insert includes a shaft with engagement projections, such as a plurality of resilient fingers defining the plurality of discrete points. Each finger is configured to pivot from an angled engagement position to a bent release position with the finger urged against the shaft, and the fingers are configured to prevent the platform from retreating towards the bottom end when the latch is in the engaged position. A central opening of the platform is configured to urge the engaged finger against the shaft and allow the urged finger to pass through the central opening when the insert is inverted due to weight of the platform.	04-29-2010
