  • Patent number: 9878442
    Abstract: A device, system, and method for holding one or more structural long objects includes a plurality of adjacent flat membranes that are in direct contact with each other. The membranes have been slit to produce tabs that meet near a center of the membranes to hold the structural long object(s) more effectively than could be accomplished with a single flat membrane with tabs. The membranes are held in the body of the device or system by a retaining device located on one side of the membranes and a retaining feature of the body on the other side of the membranes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9416804
    Abstract: An object holding device featuring multiple tabbed diaphragms in embodiments of the invention solves the lack of a previously existing elegant solution to store cleaning rags, cleaning implements and other flexible objects. The preferred embodiment of the present invention features a housing containing multiple tabbed diaphragms, which in the aggregate, when used as intended by the inventor, apply enough force to an object to hold an object within the tabbed diaphragms. Said embodiment also enables its user to easily remove objects from the plurality of tabbed diaphragms without causing damage to either the object or the tabbed diaphragms.
