A sterilizable instrument supporting bracket that may be attached to a sterilization tray having spaced perforations. The apparatus includes a resilient body used to support medical instruments. A skeleton structure is located within the resilient body for providing support to the resilient body and includes resilient metal locking devices for attaching the bracket to the tray. The locking devices include two locking numbers having resilient shaft portions that are biased to given position. A head is located to each of the shaft portions with two of the head portions facing in opposite directions. Resilient ribs are attached to the resilient body and are compressed against the tray when the resilient body and related skeleton structure are attached to the tray. The bracket is attached to the tray by squeezing the head portions toward each other and passing them into perforations of the tray and then allowing them to resiliently move outwardly on the shafts to lock the bracket onto the tray. This locking is accomplished by the heads being located within the perforations and the resilient ribs acting to bias the resilient body and skeleton structure away from the tray to maintain engagement.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. A sterilizable instrument supporting bracket apparatus (100, 200) for attachment to a tray (118) having regularly spaced vent perforations (120) therein, said apparatus comprising:a resilient body (102, 202);instrument supporting means (132, 232) located on said resilient body (102, 202) for supporting at least one medical instrument;skeleton means (104, 204) located within said resilient body (102, 202) for providing support to said resilient body (102, 202);resilient metal locking means (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b) attached to said skeleton means (104, 204) for attaching said bracket apparatus (100, 200) to said tray (118), said resilient metal locking means (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b) comprising at least a first locking means (110a, 210a) and a second locking means (110b, 210b) attached to said skeleton means (104, 204) and in which said locking means (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b) biased to a given position and each include a resilient shaft portion (112a, 112b, 212a, 212b) are biased to a given position and attached to said skeleton means (104, 204) and a head portion (114a, 114b, 214a, 214b) attached to said shaft portion (112a, 112b, 212a, 212b) and wherein at least two of said head portions (114a & 214a, 114b & 214b) face in opposite directions; and,resilient ribs (106a, 106b, 206a, 206b) attached to said resilient body (102, 202) that may be compressed against said tray (118) when said first and second locking means (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b) are passed into said perforations (120),wherein said bracket apparatus (100, 200) is attachable to said tray (118) by squeezing said head portions (114a, 114b, 214a, 214b) toward each other and passing them into said vent perforations (120) so that they afterwards expand away from each other and lock into said perforations (120) as the resilient shaft portions (112a, 112b 212a, 212b) return to their given positions.
