Abstract: An article of manufacture for storing a razor comprises a cap such as for a shaving cream container having a wall section in which are integrally molded two spaced apart arms that are pivotable about integral living hinges out of the wall section to form a yoke in which the razor is suspended. The two spaced apart arms can have separate base sections with separate living hinges or a common base section with a common living hinge. Where the cap has a cylindrical side wall and a generally flat end wall, the two spaced apart arms can extend from a living hinge in the side wall along the side wall and into the end wall so that terminal sections of the arms form an angle with the base sections. Alternatively, the arms can be formed entirely in the side wall, and if desired, have the terminal sections project toward one another to form a reentrant opening for retaining the razor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for storing an extension tube with a spray can. With the can having an exterior surface and the exterior surface of the can having a cross-section, an embodiment of the invention comprises a sleeve having a cavity adapted to receive the tube. The sleeve is coupled to the can through two resilient wings on the sleeve where the interior surface formed by these wings has a cross-section that conforms to, and is smaller than the cross-section of the exterior surface of the spray can. Through a slot formed by the free ends of the wings, the can engages the interior surface of the wings by causing the slot to deform apart then return towards the original width of the slot as the can passes between the slot.

Abstract: A fishing rod holder (H) includes a first leg (12) having an inner edge (14) in direct contact with an inner surface (18) of a vertical sidewall (20) of a bucket (B) or other support object. A second leg (28) having a length shorter than the first leg is disposed parallel to the first leg. The second leg is in direct contact with an outer surface (34) of the vertical sidewall (20) of the bucket. The first leg and the second leg define a slot (42) which receives the vertical sidewall (20). An arm (60) extends from an upper end (38) of the second leg. The arm (60) includes a first portion (62) extending upward from the second leg at an angle away from the first leg and a second portion (64) extending upward from the arm first portion at a negative angle. The arm lower and upper portions each include an inner side (66, 68). A bridge (44) spans a top end (24) of the first leg and an upper end of the second leg, interconnecting the first leg and the second leg.

Abstract: A foldable monitor bedrail mount comprising a pair of U-shaped brackets pivotally connected on one end to a surface of the monitor and pivotally connected on the opposite end to a connecting rod. The U-shaped brackets pivot relative to the monitor and connecting rod between an open position, in which the monitor may be mounted on a bed rail, and a folded position, in which the mount assembly lies compactly against the rear surface of the monitor.

Abstract: A new bracket comprises a single piece of rod bent at the outboard end to provide a device for hanging a flower pot or other item. At the inboard or baluster end the rod is shaped by a series of four perpendicular bends. The length of the rod between the first and second bends and the length of the rod between the third and fourth bends are substantially the same and determined by the width of the baluster transverse to the bracket. The length of the rod between the second and third bends is determined by both the thickness of the baluster and the angle of the bracket relative to the vertical direction of the baluster. To remain in position the bracket relies upon friction with the baluster in combination with the weight of the bracket and load on the bracket outboard end.
