Storage Rack with Multiple Shelves
A storage rack with multiple shelves includes a mounting system, a base plate, and a plurality of shelf assemblies. The mounting system is integrated onto a top end of the base plate and secure the storage rack onto a door or a wall. The plurality of shelf assemblies is positioned parallel with a top edge of the base plate and vertically distributed along the base plate. The plurality of shelf assemblies is perpendicularly connected to a front surface of the base plate and provides a storage area for hats or other delicate items. The plurality of shelf assemblies is configured to be retractable and positioned atop the front surface of the base plate so that the plurality of shelf assemblies and the base plate can be stored as a flat unit to minimize storage space.
The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 62/266,456 filed on Dec. 11, 2015. The current application is filed on Dec. 12, 2016 while Dec. 11, 2016 was on a weekend.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to a storage shelf that can be hung with the ability to collapse conveniently and efficiently. More specifically, the present invention is an over the door or wall mounting rack that can store hats or other light materials.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAesthetic appearance of a head wear is directly dependent on the curvature or the pristine look of the visor, brim, crown, cockade, peak, and the plume. Head wear comes in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. As a result, each type of head wear requires the user to store the item in a certain way so that the head wear does not change the aesthetic appearance.
It is an objective of the present invention to provide the storage rack with multiple shelves to accommodate each types of head wears. The present invention provides a shelf area that can be set to a variety of different angles based on the need of the user via cord lock, allowing the user to store any type of head wear comfortably knowing that their aesthetic appearance will not be altered or affected. The present invention features multiple shelves that can be adjusted to different angular orientations independently. This invention can be mounted over the door or onto a wall, allowing the user to hang up or remove the apparatus quickly and easily. Each shelf is held up by two strings and two brackets. The shelves are not permanently fastened to the brackets. However, two magnets that are integrated into the bottom corners of the shelves removably secure each shelf to the respective brackets. This allows the user to easily remove the shelves for storage purposes. The present invention allows users to safely store and display head wear. In addition, the present invention can also accommodate other accessories including, but are not limited to, clothes, scarves, cables, art supplies, jewelry, threads, and other light and delicate items.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is a storage rack with multiple shelves to accommodate head wear and other delicate items that require to maintain constant aesthetic appearance. For example, the present invention accommodates accessories including, but are not limited to, hats, clothes, scarves, cables, art supplies, jewelry, threads, and other light weighted items. The present invention comprises a mounting system 1, a base plate 4, and a plurality of shelf assemblies 10 as shown in
The base plate 4 is a long and thin rectangle panel that further comprises a first lateral edge 7 and a second lateral edge 8. Furthermore, it is important to note that the exact dimensions of the base plate 4 may dependent upon other features of the present invention. For example, increasing the number of shelf assemblies 10 may require the base plate 4 to be increased in height. The base plate 4 is made of a rigid material which is capable of bearing some loading forces as the ridged material can include, but is not limited to, plastic, particle board, and sheet metals.
