  • Publication number: 20210169278
    Abstract: An organizer system with an over-door hanger, a shower head hanger with a pair of hanging ladder-type structures which allow for several storage devices, such as baskets, to be moved around the organizer as needed. The baskets could be half-sized, allowing it to hook onto one of the two ladder-type structures and to be offset from baskets from the other ladder-type structure. The baskets could be full-sized, hanging from both of the ladder-type structures simultaneously. Hooks or other organizer devices could also be connected to the ladder-type structures as needed. The present invention may also include other storage solutions with vertical structures for receiving storage devices. Additional solutions such as a storage device for placement on flat surfaces with a vertical handle having a ladder-type structure, could be included.

  • Publication number: 20200107635
    Abstract: A storage management system having a crossbar and pair of vertical arms which are hung by flat hooks over a door. A pair of slides can slide up and down the vertical arms and are secured using an adjustment mechanism. These slides can provide storage solutions to a side of a door, freeing up other space for additional uses. Such storage solutions may include hooks, baskets, bags, or other storage elements. The adjustment mechanism may include a spring for being pulled out and automatically springing back into a number of adjustment slots along the slides. Alternatively, the adjustment mechanism could simply be screwed into the desired slot, locking the slide in place.

  • Patent number: 9045266
    Abstract: A method of securing and retaining a towel or other foldable item in a folded orientation over a bar or ring, includes steps of folding the towel over a bar or ring, so that there are two approximately equal folded lengths of the towel descending from opposed sides of the bar or ring, and providing a retaining device, or strap, having two opposed ends. The method then involves wrapping the strap about the folded item, beneath the bar or ring, so that the strap surrounds and contacts each of the two folded lengths of the foldable item. The two opposed ends of the retaining strap are then secured together, to form a secured loop about the foldable item below the bar or ring, whereby the foldable item cannot be removed from the bar or ring while the secured loop of the strap is in place about the foldable item.
