Abstract: A shoe rack includes subassemblies comprising a lower support including an upward extending sleeve passing through a rear end and having a ridged section on its inner wall, an annular top projection extending inward, and an annular intermediate projection extending inward from the ridged section; and an upper support including a hollow cylinder passing through a rear end and having a ridged structure on its outer surface, an annular top groove on the ridged structure, and an annular intermediate groove on the ridged structure wherein the cylinder is dimensioned to insert into the sleeve to be pivotably frictionally secured thereto by engaging the top groove with the top projection and the intermediate groove with the intermediate projection or engaging the intermediate groove with the top projection; and a pole passing through the sleeve and the cylinder of each subassembly. Each subassembly is adapted to pivot about the pole.

Abstract: A shoe rack includes a support plate and a partition having one end connected to one end of the support plate. The support plate with the connected partition are placed into a shoe cabinet for vertically dividing the space in the shoe cabinet into two layers for piling one pair of shoes on one set of the support plate and the partition for adequately using the space in the shoe cabinet.

Abstract: A mop includes a hollow lower stick including a bottom flared part, lower longitudinal parallel grooves, and intermediate helical grooves; an upper stick slidable in the lower stick; an inner sleeve including a bottom flared member, two steel balls slidably disposed in two opposite lateral tubes proximate the flared member, and a top stopper; a bundle of loose members having both ends fastened to the flared part and the flared member; and an outer sleeve including a flared enlargement adapted to surround and confine the steel balls. After moping, a person may push the enlargement downward toward the flared part for pushing the steel balls inward to urge against the helical grooves, and it is adapted to helically pull the lower stick upward along the helical grooves for moving the lower end of the bundle of loose members upward toward the upper end thereof for drying.
