DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows the 4 ON 1 STAND as having a T shaped design. The approximate dimensions of the 4 ON 1 STAND would be 12 inches in length, 30 inches in height, and six inches in width. The 4 ON 1 STAND would be constructed from various materials including metal and plastic. The 4 ON 1 STAND would be constructed of the best materials commonly accepted and used in the manufacturing industry today. The metals used would be selected from available steel or alloys of steel and aluminum. The production process related to the use of these metals would ensure that they were produced so as to be non-corrosive, durable, and strong. The selected metals should have high impact strength and be able to accept and retain coloring materials for an extended length of time.

The plastic components of the 4 ON 1 STAND would be formed with the use of plastic molding techniques such as injection molding or blow molding. Injection molding is a process that has been in use since the 1920's and provides versatility almost unmatched in the mass production of any material. It requires that melted plastic be forcefully injected into relatively cool molds. As the plastic begins to harden, it takes on the shape of the mold cavity and, when cool, requires few post molding operations. Other advantages of this process include its speed of production and its ability to allow multiple parts to be simultaneously molded.

The 4 ON 1 STAND would have a base that would allow it to be placed on the floor or on another flat surface. The height of the 4 ON 1 STAND would be adjustable. A roll of paper towels could be placed at the top of the 4 ON 1 STAND and a roll of bathroom tissue could be placed below the roll of paper towels. Below the roll of bathroom tissue would be holders that could hold a can of air freshener and a can of disinfecting spray.

The 4 ON 1 STAND would be a product that offers convenience and saves space. 4 ON 1 STAND would allow a person to organize necessary items that are kept in most bathrooms. Having 4 ON 1 STAND to hold cans of air freshener and disinfecting spray would eliminate the risk of rust stains occurring as a result of such cans being placed in bathroom surfaces such as sinks, bathtubs, or toilet tanks.

The 4 ON 1 STAND has been designed to be an attractive addition to the bathroom décor while providing needed functionality. The 4 ON 1 STAND may be provided as a stand alone unit.

The following modifications are suggested to augment the usefulness and popularity of the 4 ON 1 STAND.

• • The 4 ON 1 STAND could be created in a variety of colors, including silver and gold. In order to increase its aesthetic appeal to consumers and to allow consumers to choose a product that matches the existing décor of their bathroom.
  • The 4 ON 1 STAND could be designed so it could hold two rolls of bathroom, tissue instead of one roll of paper towels and one roll of bathroom tissue.
