Drawer Organizer including Fabric Assembly
An apparatus includes a storage organizer. The storage organizer includes a fabric assembly being stretchable and flexible. The fabric assembly provides article receivers. The fabric assembly is configured to be securely positioned at anchor positions located in a storage assembly.
This document relates to the technical field of (and is not limited to) a storage organizer including (having) a fabric assembly that is stretchable and flexible (and/or a method therefor).
BACKGROUNDIt will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing storage organizers (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution have been identified (at least in part) and are articulated (at least in part) as follows:
Existing storage organizers are made to be received in a storage assembly. Once an existing storage organizer is received in the storage assembly, a first interior portion (a first interior space) of the storage assembly accommodates (receives) the existing storage organizer, while a second interior portion (second interior space) of the storage assembly remains empty. The second interior portion (of the storage assembly) becomes wasted but potentially available space (within the storage assembly) that could be more completely utilized for receiving and organizing additional articles.
What may be needed is a storage organizer configured to utilize as much of the available interior space of a storage assembly as possible so that little (preferably none) of the interior space of the storage assembly is wasted (that is, not used for storage purposes), and most (preferably all) of the potentially available interior space (within the storage assembly) is (completely) utilized for receiving and organizing of additional articles to be received and stored.
To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a storage organizer.
The storage organizer includes a fabric assembly. The fabric assembly is stretchable and flexible. The fabric assembly provides article receivers. The fabric assembly is configured to be securely positioned at anchor positions located in a storage assembly.
A preferable technical advantage of the storage organizer is that the storage organizer is configured to utilize as much of the available interior space of the storage assembly as possible so that little (preferably none) of the interior space of the storage assembly is wasted, and most (preferably all) of the potentially available interior space (within the storage assembly) is (preferably completely) utilized for receiving and organizing the articles (to be received and stored).
To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) a method.
The method is for storing articles in a storage assembly. The method includes and is not limited to (comprises) placing a storage organizer within the storage assembly; the storage organizer includes a fabric assembly that is stretchable and flexible. The fabric assembly provides article receivers. The fabric assembly is configured to be securely positioned at anchor positions located in a storage assembly. The method also includes securely positioning the fabric assembly at anchor positions located in the storage assembly.

LISTING OF REFERENCE NUMERALS USED IN THE DRAWINGS
The following detailed description is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the described embodiments or the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation described as “exemplary” or “illustrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to make or use the embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. The scope of the claim is defined by the claims (in which the claims may be amended during patent examination after the filing of this application). For the description, the terms “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “rear,” “right,” “front,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” and derivatives thereof shall relate to the examples as oriented in the drawings. There is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory in the preceding Technical Field, Background, Summary or the following detailed description. It is also to be understood that the devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are exemplary embodiments (examples), aspects and/or concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise. It is understood that the phrase “at least one” is equivalent to “a”. The aspects (examples, alterations, modifications, options, variations, embodiments and any equivalent thereof) are described regarding the drawings. It should be understood that the invention is limited to the subject matter provided by the claims, and that the invention is not limited to the particular aspects depicted and described. It will be appreciated that the scope of the meaning of a device configured to be coupled to an item (that is, to be connected to, to interact with the item, etc.) is to be interpreted as the device being configured to be coupled to the item, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, “configured to” may include the meaning “either directly or indirectly” unless specifically stated otherwise.

The following is offered as further description of the embodiments, in which any one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims) may be combinable with any other one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims). It is understood that each claim in the claims section is an open ended claim unless stated otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, relational terms used in these specifications should be construed to include certain tolerances that the person skilled in the art would recognize as providing equivalent functionality. By way of example, the term perpendicular is not necessarily limited to 90.0 degrees, and may include a variation thereof that the person skilled in the art would recognize as providing equivalent functionality for the purposes described for the relevant member or element. Terms such as “about” and “substantially”, in the context of configuration, relate generally to disposition, location, or configuration that are either exact or sufficiently close to the location, disposition, or configuration of the relevant element to preserve operability of the element within the invention which does not materially modify the invention. Similarly, unless specifically made clear from its context, numerical values should be construed to include certain tolerances that the person skilled in the art would recognize as having negligible importance as they do not materially change the operability of the invention. It will be appreciated that the description and/or drawings identify and describe embodiments of the apparatus (either explicitly or inherently). The apparatus may include any suitable combination and/or permutation of the technical features as identified in the detailed description, as may be required and/or desired to suit a particular technical purpose and/or technical function. It will be appreciated that, where possible and suitable, any one or more of the technical features of the apparatus may be combined with any other one or more of the technical features of the apparatus (in any combination and/or permutation). It will be appreciated that persons skilled in the art would know that the technical features of each embodiment may be deployed (where possible) in other embodiments even if not expressly stated as such above. It will be appreciated that persons skilled in the art would know that other options would be possible for the configuration of the components of the apparatus to adjust to manufacturing requirements and still remain within the scope as described in at least one or more of the claims. This written description provides embodiments, including the best mode, and also enables the person skilled in the art to make and use the embodiments. The patentable scope may be defined by the claims. The written description and/or drawings may help to understand the scope of the claims. It is believed that all the crucial aspects of the disclosed subject matter have been provided in this document. It is understood, for this document, that the word “includes” is equivalent to the word “comprising” in that both words are used to signify an open-ended listing of assemblies, components, parts, etc. The term “comprising”, which is synonymous with the terms “including,” “containing,” or “characterized by,” is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. Comprising (comprised of) is an “open” phrase and allows coverage of technologies that employ additional, unrecited elements. When used in a claim, the word “comprising” is the transitory verb (transitional term) that separates the preamble of the claim from the technical features of the invention. The foregoing has outlined the non-limiting embodiments (examples). The description is made for particular non-limiting embodiments (examples). It is understood that the non-limiting embodiments are merely illustrative as examples.
