Shower caddies are often used in showers to provide organized shelving for personal hygiene products, such as shampoo, conditioner and soap. Common shower caddies include a rod or rods that extend from the shower basin to the ceiling and are fixed in position by applying pressure on the basin and the ceiling. The rods support shelves along their extent. The shelving is used to support personal hygiene products for easy access.
One known shortcoming of common shower caddies is that they are not adjustable such that they can be placed in either a corner, along a side wall, or in the center of the shower enclosure. Another known shortcoming is that the shelves tend to slide down the rods and their position along the rods needs to be reset. As a result, the amount of weight the shelves are able to hold is limited without increasing the tendency of the shelves to slide down the rods.

The shower caddy includes a main rod 18, a secondary rod 20 and an optional secondary rod 22. The assembled rods 18, 20 (and optionally rod 22) include a bottom end cap 24 and a top end cap 26 that engage a shower basin 28 and a ceiling 30, respectively. Barrels 32 are adjustable along the rods 18, 20 (and optionally rod 22) to a preferred height. The barrels 32 support baskets 34 and shelves 36. The caddy 10 is more stable due to fewer rod sections when compared to other caddies. The barrels 32 provided enhanced gripping so that the baskets 34 and shelves 36 may support more weight than other caddies. The rods 18, 20 and 22 may be made of metal, such as steel or aluminum. The baskets 34 and shelves 36 may be made of metal, such as aluminum.

The insert 38 is generally cylindrical in shape and includes a ribbed portion 42 for insertion into the main rod 18 and a threaded portion 44 that threads into the bottom end cap 24. The ribbed portion 42 includes longitudinally extending ribs 46 equally spaced from one another. As illustrated, there may be six ribs. The ribs 46 engage an inner sidewall of the main rod 18 to provide a friction fit with the main rod 18. A terminal end 48 of the ribbed portion 42 includes an annular chamfer 50 to assist in the insertion process. The threaded portion 44 includes right-hand threading 52. The ribbed portion 42 and the threaded portion 44 are separated by an annular flange 54 that engages the end of the main rod 18 to limit insertion into the main rod 18 to only the length of the ribbed portion 42. By way of example only, the insert 38 may have a length of 1.654 inches, the flange 54 may have an outer diameter of 1.010 inches, and the threading 52 may have an outer diameter of 0.830 inches.
The rod collar 40 has a generally cylindrical shape with a tubular body 56 and a terminal end 58 with an annular chamfer 60 and a step 62 that extends radially outward. The step 62 stops insertion of the rod collar 40 into the main rod 18 when the main rod 18 abuts step 62. By way of example only, the step 62 may have an outer diameter of 1.0 inches, the tubular body 56 may have an outer diameter of 0.875 inches, and annular chamfer 60 may have a longitudinal length of 0.220 inches. The collar 40 may be made of plastic, such as polyproplylene.
With reference to
A terminal end 76 of the bottom end cap 24 defines a recess 78. The recess 78 may receive a rubber pad or the terminal end 76 may fit into a rubber pad 80. The rubber pad 80 provides increased frictional engagement with the shower basin 28 to limit or prevent the shower caddy 10 from walking and/or sliding on the shower basin 28 during installation and provides a secure installation. The rubber pad 80 can be glued to the terminal end 76. A bottom 81 of the rubber pad 80 includes radially extending channels 83 to enable water and/or air to escape during the installation process and after being installed. A top 85 of the rubber pad 80 includes a circular recess 87 that receives the terminal end 76 of the bottom end cap 24. By way of example only, the rubber pad 80 may be 2.240 inches in diameter, the circular recess 87 may be 2.00 inches in diameter, and the thickness of the rubber pad 80 may be 0.275 inches.
An end cap seal 90 seals the clearance between the main rod 18 and the upper portion 66. The end cap seal 90 includes a cylindrical body 92 defining a central passage 94 and a terminal end 96 with a chamfer 98 and a step 100. The step 100 stops insertion of the seal 90 into the body 64 of the bottom end cap 24 when step 100 abuts the end the upper portion 66. By way of example only, the end cap seal 90 may have a height of 0.407 inches and an inner diameter of 1.0 inch. The chamfer 98 at the step 100 may have a diameter of 1.291 inches.

The lock assembly 102 includes a lock ramp 104, a secondary rod insert 106, and a lock sleeve 108. The lock ramp 104 and the secondary rod insert 106 may be molded from any rigid material, including a rigid plastic material. The lock sleeve 108 also may be molded from any rigid material, including plastic, but must be flexible enough to expand as it moves along the lock ramp 104 and provide a sufficient frictional engagement with an inner surface of the main rod 18 to secure the rods 18, 20 against relative movement.
The lock ramp 104 includes a frusto-conical wedge portion 110 at one end and a threaded portion 112 with a right-hand thread 114. The wedge portion 110 includes a groove 116 extending longitudinally along the length of the wedge portion 110. A head 118 is at the other end of the lock ramp 104 and includes a stop 120 (see
The secondary rod insert 106 has a generally hollow cylindrical shape and includes a male component 122 and a female component 124. When the male component 122 and the female component 124 are mated to form the insert 106, the components 122, 124 define a passage 126 through the insert 106. The insert 106 fits with a friction fit in one end of the secondary rod 20 (see, e.g.,
The male component 122 includes protrusions 128, a first circumferential flange 130, a second circumferential flange 132, an annular groove 134 formed between the first circumferential flange 130 and the second circumferential flange 132, a threaded portion 136 having left hand threads 138, and exterior longitudinally extending ribs 140, which aid in providing better friction fit between the insert 106 and the secondary rod 20.
The female component 124 includes recesses 142, a first circumferential flange 144, a second circumferential flange 146, an annular groove 148, a threaded portion 150, having left hand threads 152, exterior longitudinally extending ribs 154, which provide a friction fit between the insert 106 and the secondary rod 20, and a stop 156, which engages the stop 120 of the lock ramp 104 upon unlocking the lock assembly 102.
The recesses 142 of the female component 124 receive the protrusions 128 of the male component 122, such that the components 122, 124 may be combined to form the insert 106. The protrusions 128 may have a friction fit in the recesses 142 or may be glued or welded in the recesses 142. While four are shown, there may be less or additional protrusions 128 and recesses 142.
The second circumferential flanges 132, 146 combine to form a single annular flange that extends about a perimeter of one end of the insert 106 for engaging an end of the secondary rod 20, such as a bottom end 158 of the secondary rod 20 (see
The first circumferential flanges 130, 144 combine to form a single annular flange. The lock sleeve 108 includes an annular groove 160 that receives the annular flange formed by the first circumferential flanges 130, 144 of the insert 106. The lock sleeve 108 includes an interior flange 162 which is received in a single annular groove formed by the annular grooves 134, 148 of the insert 106, thus connecting the insert 106 and the lock sleeve 108. As the threaded portion 112 of the lock ramp 104 is turned into the insert 106, the insert 106 moves closer to the wedge portion 110 of the lock ramp 104. This causes the lock sleeve 108 to move along the wedge portion 110, causing the lock sleeve to expand and thereby lock the rods 18, 20 against movement relative to one another. The expansion of the lock sleeve 108 is not to an extent that would cause the attachment between the lock sleeve 108 and the insert 106 to become disconnected.
The lock sleeve 108 has an elongated slot 164 along its entire axial length to form a split configuration. This enables the lock sleeve 108 to be expanded from a first state that allows relative movement of the rods 18, 20 to a second state to lock the rods 1, 20 against relative movement. The lock sleeve 108 includes a longitudinally extending rib 166 on its interior that is offset 180 degrees from the slot 164. The lock sleeve 108 receives the wedge portion 110 of the lock ramp 104 with the rib 166 in the groove 116 of the lock ramp 104.
The stop 156 is on the portion of the insert 106 facing the head 118 of the lock ramp 104. The stop 156 is configured as a ramp with a stepped surface 168 and a ramped surface 170. The stop 120 is on the head 118 of the lock ramp 104 at the end of the threaded portion 112. More specifically, the stop 120 is formed by a radial flange 172 about a portion of the head 118. The radial flange 172 may extend about 180 degrees around the head 118.
The insert 106 and the threaded portion 112 of the lock ramp 104 reside in the secondary rod 20, and when locking the main rod 18 and the secondary rod 20, the stop 156 of the insert 106 disengages the stop 120 of the lock ramp 104. If the locking assembly 102 is in the fully unlocked position, the radial flange 172 may slide along the ramped surface 170 during the first and/or additional twists of the threaded portion 112 in the locking direction so that the flange 172 does not get caught on the stop 156 as the stop 120 rotates away from the stop 156.
When the user loosens the main rod 18 and the secondary rod 20 by rotating the secondary rod 20 counterclockwise thereby operating the threads 138, 152 of the insert 106, the stop 156 of the insert 106 moves toward the head 118 of the lock ramp 104. The insert 106 rotates until the stop 156 engages the stop 120 of the head 118. The stops 120, 156 are rigid and prohibit further rotation of the insert 106 and the lock ramp 104 relative to one another. The relative circumferential location of the stop 120 and the lock ramp 104 may be positioned to leave a small gap 174 between the insert 106 and the head 118 when the insert 106 is rotated to its fully unlocked position. This ensures that the insert 106 and head 118 will not become stuck together and may resist or even prevent rotation in the locking direction.
Additional details of the lock assembly 102 are contained in U.S. application Ser. No. 16/297,357, filed Mar. 8, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
As shown in
To secure the lock assembly 180, the main and secondary rods 18, 20 may be turned in opposite directions which causes the wedge 186 to be tightly seated between the main rod 18 and the rod insert 184. In situations where the bottom and top end caps 24, 26 are adjustable, additional inward force on the main and secondary outer rods 18, 20 caused by the end caps 24, 26 during their adjustment can cause the main and secondary rods 18, 20 to inadvertently adjust relative to one another.
As shown in
With reference to
The wedge shaft 182 extends through the internal passage 212, and the threading 196 of the wedge shaft 182 engages with the threaded portion 216 of the rod insert 204. An outer surface 218 of the threaded portion 216 is cylindrical, and the outer surface 220 of the smooth portion 214 is conical. An annular step 222 transitions the cylindrical outer surface 218 with the conical outer surface 220. The step 222 engages an end of the secondary rod 20 to limit insertion of the rod insert 204 into the secondary rod 20 beyond the cylindrical outer surface 218.
As shown in
The adjustment gap 190 of the lock assembly 180 is formed because the longitudinal length of the annular recess 232 of the wedge 186 is slightly larger than the thickness of the annular flange 200 of the wedge shaft 182. In one embodiment, the longitudinal length of the annular recess 232 may be 0.350 inches, and the thickness of the annular flange 200 may be 0.254 inches, creating an adjustment gap 190 of 0.096 inches. Overall, the adjustment gap 190 allows the compressive force to further move the rod insert 184 and the wedge 186 towards one another to increase the locking force of the lock assembly 180. This prevents the rods 18, 20 from unintentionally slipping relative to one another. This assists users that may not be strong enough to initially set the lock assembly 180.
More specifically, to set the lock assembly 180, the rods 18, 20 are pulled apart to set the desired length. Once the length is set, at least one of the rods 18, 20 is turned relative to the other to activate the lock assembly 180. For instance, the main rod 18 can be held stationary in one's left hand, while the secondary rod 20 can be turned with one's right hand towards the user's body. This causes the rod insert 184 to move closer towards the wedge 186 which prevents the wedge 186 from rotating because an outer surface 238 of the wedge 186 has a friction engagement with an inner surface 240 of the main rod 18. Alternatively, instead of holding the main rod 18 stationary, it also can be turned with one's left hand away from one's body simultaneously with turning the secondary rod 20. In either case, this will cause the rod insert 184 to turn and the threading 196 on the wedge shaft 182 to engage the threaded portion 216 of the rod insert 184. This, in turn, will cause the annular flange 200 of the wedge shaft 182 to shift to the inner side of the annular recess 232 to draw the wedge 186 toward the rod insert 184. The annular conical surface 236 of the wedge 186 will ride along the conical outer surface 220 of the rod insert 184. This forces the wedge 186 to lodge with a tight friction fit between the main rod 18 and the rod insert 184 to prevent the rods 18, 20 from moving relative to one another. The longitudinally extending gap 224 along the wedge 186 will widen as the wedge 186 moves along the rod insert 184.
The adjustment gap 190 will allow the use of adjustable end cap systems, such as assemblies 24, 26, to further drive the wedge 186 onto the conical outer surface 220 of the rod insert 184 to provide further locking force. More specifically, as the adjustable end assemblies 24, 26 are activated by turning the rods 18, 20 together in the same direction, such as towards the user, the end assemblies 24, 26 extend from the rods 18, 20 and will apply a compressive force on the rods 18, 20. This compressive force will cause the wedge 186 to automatically shift further along the conical outer surface 220 of the rod insert 184 to lodge even further between the main rod 18 and the rod insert 184 to provide an even tighter friction fit between the main rod 18 and the rod insert 184 to prevent the rods 18, 20 from moving relative to one another.
The rib 234 of the wedge 186 sits in the longitudinally extending gap 202 of the annular flange 200 of the wedge shaft 182. This keys the wedge shaft 182 to the wedge 186 to prevent rotational movement between the two.
To undo the locking assembly 180, the rods 18, 20 are turned in the direction opposite to the locking directions. In this operation, the annular flange 200 of the wedge shaft 182 engages the annular stop 230 at the other side of the annular recess 232 of the wedge 186 and drives the wedge 186 down the conical outer surface 220 of the rod insert 184.
Additional details of the lock assembly 180 are contained in U.S. Application No. 62/880,483, filed Jul. 30, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

With reference to
A terminal end 272 of the top end cap 26 defines a recess 274. The recess 274 receives a rubber pad or fits into the rubber pad 80 to provide increased frictional engagement with the ceiling 30. This aids to prevent the shower caddy 10 from walking and/or sliding on the ceiling 30 of the shower caddy 10 during installation and provides a secure installation. The rubber pad 80 may have the same structure as and be secured to the end cap 26 as the rubber pad 80 described above.
An end cap seal, such as end cap seal 90, may be fitted into the clearance between the secondary rod 20 (or the extension rod 22). The end cap seal 90 is not required at either the bottom end cap 24 or the top end cap 26 but can be used at either or both.

The socket portion 280 includes internal threads 288 that mate with the external threads 256 of the connection insert 242 this is fitted into the end of the secondary rod 20. The socket portion 280 further includes an annular internal stop 290 that engages the stop flange 258 of the connection insert 242 to prevent over insertion of the threaded portion 248 of the connection insert 242 into the socket portion 280.
By way of example only, the length of the extension rod insert 276 may be 2.087 inches, the length of the socket portion 280 may be 1.337 inches, the outer diameter of the socket portion 280 may be 1.022 inches, and the inner diameter of the socket portion 280 may be 0.866 inches.
Turning to
The top end portion 294 includes an inner annular smooth portion 306, an interrupted threaded portion 308 and an annular landing 310 at the base of the interrupted threaded portion 308. The interrupted threaded portion 308 may include four arcuate projections 316 with external threads that form a threading for a top cap 318. The end portion 294 includes arcuate ledges 320 between the arcuate projections 316. A recess 322 defined by the end portion 294 extends longitudinally inward from each ledge 320. The ledges 320 and recesses 322 are used in mounting the baskets 34 and shelves 36. Thus, the illustrated barrel 32 can support up to four baskets 34 and/or shelves 36. The barrel can be scaled to support additional or less baskets and/or shelves. The bottom end portion 296 includes internal threading 324 that is used to mount a bottom cap 326.

The sidewall 337 also defines longitudinal channels 340 on the outside for gripping and turning the bottom cap 326. The bottom cap 326 also includes a top portion 342 extending from the annular sidewall 337. An annular bead 344 extends from the side wall 337 at a transition between the externally threaded portion 338 and the longitudinal channels 340. The inside of bottom cap 326 includes a cylindrical segment 346 and a conical segment 348.
By way of example only, the bottom cap 326 may have a maximum length of 1.102 inches and a maximum outer diameter at the annular bead 344 of 1.524 inches. The externally threaded portion 338 may have a length of 0.392 inches measured from the annular bead 344. The cylindrical segment may have a diameter of 1.025 inches. The conical segment 348 may have an outward taper angle of 20.1 degrees and a maximum diameter of 1.146 inches at a terminal end.
Each barrel 32 is used with either a large wedge insert 350 or a small wedge insert 352. The large wedge insert 350 is used to mount the barrel 32 to the main rod 18, and the small wedge insert 352 is used to mount the barrel 32 to the secondary rod 20 or the optional rod 22. The wedge inserts 350, 352 are disposed in a conical section 297 of the bottom end portion 296 of the barrel body 292 and the conical segment 348 of the bottom cap 326. As the bottom cap 326 is threaded onto the barrel body 292, the wedge inserts 350, 352 apply pressure to the main rod 18 or the secondary or optional rods 20, 22 to lock the barrel 32 in a desired position along the rods 18, 20, 22.
The large wedge insert 350 includes an annular ring 354. The ring 354 includes two ends 356 that define a gap 358 therebetween. The gap 358 allows the ring 354 to be tightened onto the main rod 18. An inner surface 360 of the ring 354 is cylindrical, and an outer surface 362 forms a taper from a center apex 364 to terminal edges 366. By way of example only, the large wedge insert 350 may have a height of 0.400 inches, an inner diameter of 0.5 inches and a maximum outer diameter of 0.580 at the apex 364.
