  • Patent number: 10136727
    Abstract: A boot rack with angled support, including a frame having a central bar extending between a pair of support feet, such that the pair of support feet engages a surface, and at least one elongate boot support element having a first end and a second end. The first end of the support element includes a fixed component and a rotating component, such that the fixed component is attached to the central bar, and the rotating component is connected to the fixed component via a hinge connection. The hinge connection can define an axis which allows the rotating component to rotate about the axis.

  • Publication number: 20050023175
    Abstract: A storage bin comprises a wire frame having a rectangular wire top element and a slightly smaller rectangular wire bottom element which fits snugly into the top element. The top and bottom elements are interconnected by wire side elements which are angled inwardly as they extend downwardly. Wire corner elements extend across each corner of the top element immediately below its bottom surface. Thus, the bottom of one bin can be placed into the top of another bin and only extend into it by an amount equal to the thickness of the wire. U-shaped handles are located on opposed sides of the top element. The bottom and sides of the bin are covered with a fabric cover. In a preferred embodiment the side elements are releasably attached to the top and bottom elements to permit the bin to be broken down flat.

  • Patent number: 5143214
    Abstract: A hanging wardrobe garment storage bag is provided with a garment support rod that hangs directly from an overhead clothes rod rather than from the frame of the garment bag. The garment bag has a conventional rigid wire frame with an upper portion formed into a rectangular wire loop. The rigid, rectangular loop is suspended from the overhead clothes rod by a frame hook which extends up through a central opening in the top of a flexible garment cover. A linearly extending wire garment rack rod is located below the wire garment bag frame and extends parallel to the overhead clothes rod. A pair of garment rack hooks are secured to the garment rack rod and extend up through openings in the flexible garment cover to hang directly from the clothes rod. The garment rack thereby hangs directly from the clothes rod so that the weight of garments stored within the bag does not bear on the garment bag frame.
