  • Patent number: 9357860
    Abstract: A hanging shower caddy has detachable shelves which engage brackets that extend from the front of the legs of the caddy back; preferably a stringer on the shelf interacts with a tie that connects the legs, to inhibit vertical lifting of the shelf from the bracket. Alternatively, the top rear rail of a shelf engages notches at the front of the legs. A pole caddy has a removable shelf with tangs that engage holes or other features in a collar that is clamped to the pole. The legs of the back of a hanging caddy are hinged so the top of the back folds for compact shipment.

  • Patent number: 8875770
    Abstract: A hanger for suspending a shower curtain and a spaced apart liner from a shower bar has a first hook for the curtain and a second hook for the liner, and the mouths or openings of both hooks face in the same direction, preferably toward the inside of the shower enclosure. A decorative medallion is preferably affixed to the outer side of the hanger and the placement and dimension thereof are sufficient to block from view of a person outside the shower the opening at the top of the curtain, by which means the curtain is hung from the outside hook of the hanger.
