Each connector head has a dimension greater is size than the connector body such that the layers are securely held together. The locking tabs fit into the opening in the sidewall and then are rotated into locking slots in the sides of the openings. The storage structure is configured to deflect under load to prevent damage to the storage structure or patient-support deck.
