  • Patent number: 5261529
    Abstract: An earring storage apparatus consisting of a multiplicity of individual vertical panels that hang from retaining rods braced horizontally over the sides of an open container. Each panel consists of a fabric sheet having a top edge looped around a support rod, so that the panel can hang therefrom, and of a plastic net layer attached to the fabric. A panel may also feature horizontal or vertical straps or a fringe attached to the plastic net layer. Each mesh in the plastic layer provides a suitable support substrate for the prong of hook earrings, or most post-type earrings and tie tacks, while the straps and fringes can be used conveniently for clasp earrings, wire-type earrings, circular earrings, large hoop-style post earrings, cufflinks, tie clasps and other jewelry. The fabric sheet protects the front of the earrings in the panel immediately behind. Each panel is housed hanging vertically from the side walls of the open container in the same fashion as files are commonly hung in drawers for storage.
