ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to bathroom accessories, and more particularly, to bathroom accessories securable to a bathroom wall having at least one chamber for toiletry items and orifices for receiving toothbrushes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A typical household bathroom is a small and confined place. Accordingly, there is a limited amount of available storage space for items needed while in the bathroom. As a result, most household bathrooms quickly become disorganized and cluttered, making it difficult, time-consuming and inconvenient to locate items that are needed while in the bathroom. Moreover, the bathroom becomes increasingly difficult to maintain and clean.
The present invention overcomes these and other drawbacks and provides accessories which can be conveniently stored in a bathroom and which allow for efficient use of existing bathroom space.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a bathroom accessory securable to a generally vertical surface. The accessory comprises a wall member locatable adjacent to the generally vertical surface to which the accessory is to be secured, and one or more suction cups engageable with the wall member for securing the accessory to the generally vertical surface. The suction cups have a head portion attachable to the wall member and a resilient, concave member having a circular projection. The suction cups are compressable against the generally vertical surface to secure the bathroom accessory to the generally vertical surface. The invention according to this application is a bathroom accessory which is made from plastic, and includes walls defining at least one chamber for holding toiletry items, transverse walls defining orifices for toothbrush handles or razor handles, and a rear engagement wall for holding suction cups to secure the accessory to a vertical wall.
It is an object of the present invention to provide bathroom accessories which make efficient use of space available in a bathroom.
It is another object of the present invention to provide bathroom accessories which are suitable for use inside a shower.

An object of the invention is to provide a bathroom accessory for attachment to a vertical surface having at least one chamber for holding toiletry items and vertical orifices for holding toothbrushes and/or razors.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a shower basket for holding various bathroom items, which is conveniently securable to a generally vertical surface.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a shower and tub caddy which is conveniently securable to a generally vertical surface.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a shower and tub organizer which is conveniently securable to a generally vertical surface.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush storage unit which is conveniently securable to a generally vertical surface.
