Patent number: 10750858Abstract: A reconfigurable modular storage system has a reconfigurable support for storage units of the storage system. The reconfigurable support includes an end frame member attachable to the storage unit in two reverse orientations and releasably attachable base members. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a first orientation and the base members are unattached, a portion of the end frame member serves as a raised end railing of the storage unit. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a second orientation and the base members are attached, the base members serve as a load-bearing supports for the end frame member and for the storage unit. Multiple end frame members may be vertically stacked to create multiple vertically stacked storage units.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: NEATFREAK GROUP INC.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage, Yan Feng, Dana Musat

Patent number: 10563346Abstract: A container takes on the form of a laundry hamper or basket while static or stationary. Upon bringing front and back panels of the container into closer proximity for transport, such as by drawing together their respective handles, or drawing one of the handles towards the other, the container changes configuration, or shape, to that of a tote bag. Upon releasing at least one of the front and back panels of the container from being drawn towards the other, such as by releasing at least one of their respective handles, the container automatically reverts back to the form of a laundry hamper or basket. The use of substantially rigid front and back panels, coupled with side panels that have resilient upper regions, permit the side panels to take on a spout-like configuration when the container is in its tote bag configuration, and to return to a planar configuration when the container is in its laundry hamper or basket configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: NEATFREAK GROUP INC.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage, Yan Feng

Patent number: 10227724Abstract: A removable hanging laundry storage container such as a bag or hamper including a pair of substantially C-shaped handles extending upwards from opposites sides of the top of the hamper or bag. The C-shaped handles define interior regions for receiving a horizontal support to hang the hamper or bag thereon. The handles are sized and shaped to provide for a grasping surface on the opposite side of the handle end to allow the handle to be readily grasped when the storage container is hanging from a horizontal support to facilitate the lifting of the handle and hamper off the horizontal support. The hamper or bag may have cut-away sections matching the interior of the handles to provide an open area to facilitate placement and removal of the hampers on the horizontal support.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: NEATFREAK GROUP INC.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage

Patent number: 9314124Abstract: A garment hanger includes a stationary member having a first jaw and an articulating member having a second jaw for gripping a garment therebetween. The relative tension between the jaws is finely adjustable through the click-stop engagement of teeth associated with the articulating member and a locking member. The locking member is rotatably coupled to the stationary member, and includes a gear having a set of teeth that engage a corresponding set of teeth disposed on a surface of the articulating member.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: NEATFREAK GROUP INC.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage

Patent number: 9259082Abstract: Hanging close organizers providing highly rigid and highly stable shelves for supporting shoes and garments are relatively inexpensive to manufacture while, at the same time, provide a relatively large number of potential positions at which the rigid shelves may be securely yet removably positioned. A collapsible fabric body includes a plurality of straps disposed and stitched vertically within the interior of the body. The straps are stitched to the overall body along the majority of the length of each strap. Periodic gaps in the stitching, at horizontally aligned, predetermined positions along the length of each strap, form slots, or slot regions. Each of four horizontal side hooks, disposed proximate an associated corner of a removable shelf, may be advanced axially through an associated slot. A distal protrusion or barb of each side hook serves to further secure each shelf in place, inhibiting unwanted slippage or inadvertent removal of a shelf.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: NEATFREAK GROUP INC.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage

Patent number: 9027804Abstract: A stackable garment hanger is configured to stack vertically, with successive hangers being positioned in an undulating, back-and-forth manner. At least a portion of each garment hanger nests within the outline of the next garment hanger in a vertical stack of identical garment hangers. The front and back garment hangers may be substantially mirror images of each other. The garment hanger includes at least one pair of binding slots extending therethrough and separated by a predetermined distance that coincides with the up-and-down, undulating offset distance between each adjacent, nested and stacked garment hanger. In this manner, a coaxial opening or continuous channel is formed through the alternating, successive alignment of an upper slot an adjacent lower slot, a further adjacent upper slot, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Neatfreak Group Inc.Inventors: Bertrand Barre, Francis Lepage
