1. Lip
75 depends outwardly from wall
74A and from U-shaped
"thumb rest" opening
74B formed in the upper portion of wall
74A.
When an individual is attempting to remove an article stored in container
74,
the individual can slide his or her thumb through opening
74B and over lip
75 to facilitate the individual's sliding his or her thumb underneath the
articles. Alternatively, as indicated by dashed lines
76, a "thumb rest"
opening can be formed in the top portion of a side
74C without utilizing
an outwardly projecting lip
75.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate an alternate construction for storing and facilitating
the use of thread bobbins or spools. The construction includes a base
78.
Base
78 has a convex upper surface
79. The curvature of upper surface
79 facilitates the support by surface
79 of bobbins have differing
diameters, and also minimizes the surface area of
79 that contacts the bottom
of a bobbin
35A. Minimizing the area of surface
79 contacting the
bottom of a bobbin facilitates rotation of the bobbin on stationary surface
79.
An upstanding rod
34A is fixedly connected to base
78 and slidably
rotatably receives bobbins
35A. A second base
78 can be provide with
a cylindrical opening formed in the bottom of base
78 so it can be removably
slidably stacked on and removed from top
34B of rod
34A. Base
78
can be mounted on the distal end of arm
32 or can be mounted or positioned
at any other desired location in the apparatus of FIG.
1.
The bowl storage container
82 illustrated in FIG. 7 includes front
82A,
back
82B, sides
83 and
86, and bottom
85. U-shaped,
generally semi-circular edge
89 is formed in front
82A. Container
82 is shaped and dimensioned such that when a bowl
90 is inserted
in the container in the manner indicated by dashed lines
90A, the upper
lip
94 of bowl
90 rests against back
82B, a portion of outer
wall
92 seats on edge
89, and the bottom
91 and the bottom
circular edge
93 of bowl
90 extend outwardly away from front
82A.
If desired, the portion of side
83 intermediate dashed line
88 and
bottom
85 can be cut out and discarded such that there is an opening in
container
82 between dashed line
88 and bottom
85. Similarly,
the portion of side
86 between dashed line
87 and bottom
85
can be cut out and discarded such that there is an opening in container
82
between dashed line
87 and bottom
85.
The cylindrical cup storage panel member
95 illustrated in FIG. 8 includes
upper circular surface
97 and circular groove
96 formed therein.
Groove
96 is shaped and dimensioned that the circular lip
99 of a
cup
100 slidably removably fits in groove
96. Groove
96 is
preferably, but not necessarily, shaped and dimensioned such that lip
99
fits snugly in groove
96 and will not come out of groove
96 until
cup
98 is grasped and pulled from groove
96. When lip
99 is
securely anchored in groove
96, cup
98 functions as an anchor that
securely holds other cups
100 that are stacked and nested on cup
98.
As indicated in FIG. 9, member
95 can be mounted on shaft
32A connected
to arm
32.
A grate panel
12 can be adapted in the manner indicated by reference character
12A in FIG.
10. Panel
12A has the same general structure as
panel
12 and—like panel
12—includes bars
55,
57,
65. However, in panel
12A the length of some of the horizontal
bars is—in the manner of bar
56A—shortened and one of the
vertical bars is eliminated such that vertically oriented bars
102 and
103
can be utilized to form a vertically oriented opening
101 extending between
bars
55 and
65. Opening
101 permits paper bags
104
to be pulled outwardly (or inwardly) from inside the apparatus of FIG.
1
and through opening
101 in the manner indicated by arrow H. U-shaped member
41 can also, if desired, be utilized to store and dispense paper bags
104.
For example, paper bags can be inserted in (and removed from) member
41
through an open side in the manner indicated by arrow E. Or, an opening—indicated
by dashed lines
101A in FIG.
2—can be formed through the top
of member
41 to permit paper bags or other articles to be inserted in and
removed from member
41. Similarly, an opening(s) can be formed through side
43 to permit the insertion and removal of paper bags from member
41.
A grate panel
12 can be adapted in the manner indicated by reference character
12B in FIG.
11. Panel
12B has the same general structure as
panel
12 and—like panel
12—includes bars
55,
57,
65. However, in panel
12B portions of certain horizontal
and vertical bars in panel
12 are eliminated to form U-shaped opening
105
and rectangular vertically oriented opening
107. Vertical opening
107
is bounded in either side by vertical bars
108 and
109. U-shaped
opening
105 is bounded by arcuate bar
110 on the top and by arcuate
bars
111 and
112 on the bottom. The arcuate shape of opening
105
prevents napkins stored within panels
10 to
14 from easily sliding
out through opening
105. Napkins can not easily slide through opening
105
because the opening
105 is arcuate and the napkins are flat. A user inserts
his or her fingers through opening
105 and/or
107, grasps one or
more napkins
106, bends the napkin
106 with her and her fingers into
an arcuate U-shape illustrated by dashed lines
106 in FIG. 11 so that the
napkin will readily pass through opening
105, and withdraws the napkin
106
outwardly through opening
105 in the direction indicated by arrow J.
FIG. 12 illustrates a container
113 adapted to store plates and bowls.
Container
113 includes front
114, back
115, and bottom
117.
Arcuate lip
116 is formed in front
114. Lip
116 and back
115
function in a manner similar to that of the bowl holder of FIG. 7, i.e., when a
bowl is stored in container
113, the upper lip
94 of the bowl contacts
back
115 and the bottom
91 of the bowl extends outwardly past lip
116 such that the bottom of the bowl nests adjacent lip
116. Elastic
mesh or netting
121 can be resiliently stretched outwardly in the direction
of arrow P when a bowl is stored in container
113 and can also support plates
placed on edge on bottom
117 in a vertical orientation. Elastic member
118
can be stretched in the directions of arrows M and K. Elastic member
119
can be stretched in the directions indicated by arrows L and N. Front
114
can pivot about line of weakening
120 in the direction indicated by arrows
O. When front
114 pivots in the direction of arrows O, members
118
and
119 stretch in the directions indicated by arrows K and L, respectively.
When oversized plates are placed in container
113, member
118 and
119 can be stretched in the direction indicated by arrows M and N, respectively,
to accommodate the plates unless the plates are unusually large.
Having described my invention in such terms as to enable those of skill in
the art to make and practice it, and having described the presently preferred embodiments thereof.
