  • Patent number: 5242063
    Abstract: An organizing device for holding objects on a vertical surface, particularly well suited for a vertical surface near a bathtub or shower stall. In the preferred embodiment, the device includes a relatively large base member selectively attached to the vertical surface. Suction cups are used to attached the base member in different locations on the vertical surface without causing damage thereto. The base member includes an inner semi-rigid support member and an outer loop connector surface to which a plurality of object connectors may be selectively attached during use. In the preferred embodiment, the object connectors are strap connectors which are placed securely around an object. Each strap connector has a complimentary hook connector surface which enables the strap connector to be selectively attached to the base member while simultaneously attached to the object. By pressing the strap connector into the base member, the user is thereby able to selectively attach the object to the vertical surface.
