Patent number: 7642912Abstract: The remote control holder of the present invention includes one or more recesses for holding remote controls and one or more cup holders. The holder may also include a heating device and/or a cooling device coupled to the cup holder. The holder may also include a paging system with one or more paging buttons. Each of the paging buttons is associated with one of the recesses. Each paging button may be a different color. In addition, each paging button may be associated with a paging receiver attached to a remote control to be stored in the recess that is associated with the paging button. The method for using the remote control holder includes locating a remote control by depressing a paging button, thereby causing the associated paging receiver attached to the remote control to emit an audible alarm. The remote control may then be disposed within the recess associated with the paging button.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Inventor: Steven Sholem

Patent number: 7510092Abstract: A tool organizer system has a flat sheet of magnetically attracted material that attracts magnets attached to tools to support the tools on the flat sheet. The system includes position indicators that can be attached at any orientation and position on the flat sheet. The system can be provided as a kit with one or more components. A method of organizing a set of tools provides for efficient use of space and clear association between a tool and a previously selected position and avoids loss of tools by placing them in previously selected positions. A method of making a tool organizer system includes making the system in accordance with requests from a customer. The tool organizer system includes a kitchen tool organizer system that has a container with at least one magnetically attractive side and a handle, allowing the container to retain kitchen tools within the container and magnetically on the side.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2005Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Inventor: Steven Sholem

Patent number: 7261212Abstract: In one aspect, tool organizer system has a flat sheet of magnetically attracted material that attracts magnets attached to tools to support the tools on the flat sheet. The system includes position indicators that can be attached at any orientation and position on the flat sheet. Neither the position indicators nor the tools are limited to particular positions or orientations such as by a repeating or incremental support structure on the flat sheet. Thus, the position indicators and tools can be grouped in closely abutting relation when desired for space saving organization. The system can be provided as a kit with one or more components. In another aspect, a method of organizing a set of tools provides for efficient use of space on an open flat sheet, provides for clear association between a tool and a previously selected position on the flat sheet, and avoids loss of tools by placing them in previously selected positions.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Inventor: Steven Sholem
