  • Publication number: 20100064948
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible drawer liner with raised projections, which allows for orderly arrangement of items—between the projections. Cut to size, it fits in any/all drawers and boxes, and can be used in kitchen, office, bathroom, workroom . . . wherever. It replaces existing rigid organizers such as kitchen silverware trays, or other organizational boxes. And, no need for a separate drawer liner—as the invention is a cushioned liner and organizer all in one. It just gets measured and cut to fit any drawer or box. Arrange your silverware or other items on the liner, and you're done. It's time to throw away those drawer organizers that don't fit, and just don't do the job very well. The invention can also be used in sinks, as a draining mat, leaning dishes on end to dry. This is a clever household organization solution—and is a great fit for existing products such as cooking and eating utensils, hand tools, et cetera.

  • Publication number: 20090113629
    Abstract: A functional bed skirt that consists of clear plastic covered pockets, used to store shoes. This ShoeSkirt is placed underneath an existing bed skirt. The skirt portion is a gathered material (such as polypropylene) which has thin gauge plastic attached to form pockets, which allow their contents to be visible. The pleating falls under the bed frame, which allows most of storage to take place under the bed. This design disguises the bulk of the shoes, and gives a clean line under a decorative bed skirt, providing “hidden” shoe storage under your bed frame.
