  • Patent number: 6062397
    Abstract: An apparatus for suspending utensils over a sink comprises a holding member coupled to a stabilizer. The holding member is configured to retain utensils, and the stabilizer comprises a hook member having a contact surface for engaging the back of a sink faucet. The holding member also has a support surface for resting against a side wall or top edge of the sink so that the stabilizer when engaged on the sink faucet in cooperation with the support surface and the force of gravity maintain the apparatus above the bottom surface of the sink. In this way, the holding member may suspend utensils such as kitchen implements including dish racks, flatware, containers, and cutting boards above the bottom surface of the sink.

  • Patent number: 6050460
    Abstract: A foldable garment hanger is disclosed that may be fabricated with two or three pieces that snap-fit together. The hanger comprises a first member, a second member, and a pivoting extension. Each member has an arm and a flange extending therefrom, and at least one of the members has a hook portion, and each member has a locking part. The pivoting extension protrudes from the flange of one member and snap-fits into an arcuate recess of the flange of the other member so that the flanges overlap and rotate relative to each other in a circular pattern. The locking parts then will hold the members in place in an unfolded configuration so that a garment may be hung on the extending arms of the hanger.
