ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to storage devices and, more particularly, to a storage device for storing suspenders.
Braces are relatively expensive items of clothing that are typically stored in drawers or boxes. Storing suspenders in drawers or boxes often causes wrinkling and creasing and may otherwise adversely affect the appearance of the suspenders. Suspenders may also become wrinkled, creased, or otherwise damaged when packed for traveling in suitcases or other types of luggage.
Other similar devices in the art provide a means for storing a single pair of suspenders for display in stores. However, these devices cannot store more than one pair of suspenders at a time. Furthermore, such devices are constructed of a thin, flexible plastic which gives the devices a plain, inexpensive appearance. Such devices also are impractical for everyday storage because they have insufficient means for holding suspenders for storage and have small hook portions that are insufficient for hanging the device on a standard closet pole.
It would be advantageous to provide a device which overcomes the problems described above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An objective of the present invention is to provide a device for storing suspenders that prevents wrinkling, creasing, or other damage to the suspenders that is often caused by storing the suspenders in drawers, boxes or other storage means. Another objective of this invention is to provide a device for storing a plurality of pairs of suspenders. Still another object is to provide a device which is useful for storing suspenders while traveling.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a storage device for storing a pair of suspenders comprising an upstanding, flat and substantially rigid base having at least one pair of elongate member cantilevers extending outwardly and perpendicular to the surface of the base and a hook portion mounted at the top of the base for hanging the storage device.
