  • Patent number: 6607085
    Abstract: The closet hiding place includes a plurality of telescopic channels that can be adjusted relative to each other to extend the length of a wall above a closet door. The channels are either generally rectangular or semicircular with an open top and simulate a duct when installed in a closet. The channels are mounted to the wall by the extension of fasteners through slots along the upper edge of the back wall of each channel. The front and bottom walls are longer than the back wall to enable the channel to sit flush against the wall. The open top enables a user to place items in the channels to obscure the items from the view of unauthorized persons such as thieves or small children.

  • Publication number: 20030029819
    Abstract: Channel 22 is inserted into channel 21 and placed inside a closet above the door. The channels are extended until they touch both side walls of the closet. Screws go through slots in both channels and are screwed into the wall. This installs the Closet Hiding Place. Valuables, dangerous items, or private items can then be lowered into the channels. Items can be removed by reaching into the channel and lifting the items out. The Closet Hiding Place is in a high, poorly lit, and poorly observable place. This innovative place of installation helps guard the items.
