DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new organizer device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.


As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the garment organizer assembly 10 generally comprises a pair of boxes 12 for storing garments 14. The garments 14 may comprise socks, undergarments or other garments that typically do not requiring ironing. Each of the boxes 12 has a front wall 16, a bottom wall 18, a back wall 20, a first lateral wall 22, a second lateral wall 24 and a top side 26. The top side 26 of respective boxes is open into an interior of the respective box 12. Each of the boxes 12 has a plurality of dividers 28 each extending between the front wall 16 and the back wall 20 of respective boxes to define a plurality of compartments 30 in the respective box 12. Moreover, the dividers 28 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed between the first lateral wall 22 and the second lateral wall 24 of the respective box 12.


The front wall 16 of each of the boxes 12 has a plurality of slots 32 each extends therethrough to facilitate garments 14 in the boxes 12 to be visible. In this way a user can determine when the garments 14 in each compartment 30 have become depleted. The slots 32 in respective boxes 12 are spaced apart from each other and are vertically distributed on the front wall 16 of the respective box 12, and each of the slots 32 is aligned with a respective one of the compartments 30 in the respective box 12. The back wall 20 of respective boxes 12 extends upwardly beyond the top side 26 of the respective box 12. The back wall 20 of respective boxes 12 has a pair of first holes 34 each extending therethrough and each of the first holes 34 is positioned above the top side 26 of the respective box 12 to receive a support on a door for suspending the respective box 12 from the door.


Each of the boxes 12 has a trough 36 extending forwardly from the front wall 16 of a respective box 12. The trough 36 is open into the respective box 12 to facilitate garments 14 to be removable from the respective box 12. The trough 36 has a top end 38 that is open and a forward side 40 that is spaced from the front wall 16 of the respective box 12. The trough 36 is aligned with the bottom wall 18 of the respective box 12 and each of dividers 28 in the respective box 12 extends into the trough 36 and intersects with the forward side 40 of the trough 36. The back wall 20 of each of the boxes 12 extends downwardly beyond the trough 36. Additionally, the back wall 20 of each of the boxes 12 has a pair of second holes 42 each extending therethrough and the second holes 42 are positioned beneath the trough 36 on a respective box 12.


The first lateral wall 22 of each of the boxes 12 has a plurality of first cutouts 44 extending therethrough. The first cutouts 44 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed between the bottom wall 18 and the top side 26 of a respective box 12. Each of the first cutouts 44 has a leg 46 and a foot 48. Additionally, each of the first cutouts 44 is bendable outwardly from the first lateral wall 22 of the respective box 12 having the foot 48 on each of the first cutouts 44 being vertically oriented. In this way garments 14 can be suspended from the first cutouts 44.


The second lateral wall 24 of each of the boxes 12 has a plurality of second cutouts 50 each extending therethrough. The second cutouts 50 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed between the bottom wall 18 and the top side 26 of a respective box 12. Each of the second cutouts 50 has a leg 52 and a foot 54. Each of the second cutouts 50 is bendable outwardly from the second lateral wall 24 of the respective box 12 having the foot 54 on each of the second cutouts 50 being vertically oriented. In this way garments 14 can be suspended from each of the second cutouts 50.


A plurality of hooks 56 is each coupled to a respective one of the boxes 12 and each of the hooks 56 can have a hat suspended thereon. Each of the hooks 56 has a first end 58 and a second end 60, and the first end 58 of each of the hooks 56 is coupled to the back wall 20 of the respective box 12 having each of the hooks 56 extending toward the front wall 16 of the respective box 12. Each of the hooks 56 is positioned above a respective one of the compartments 30 in the respective box 12 and each of the hooks 56 curves upwardly between the first end 58 and the second end 60. Additionally, each of the hooks 56 has a ball 62 coupled to the second end 60 to enhance engaging the hat.


A pair of grapples 64 is each coupled to and extends upwardly from a respective box 12 to engage an upper edge 66 of a door 68 for suspending the respective box 12 on the door 68. Each of the grapples 64 comprises a middle portion 70 extending between a front portion 72 and a back portion 74. The front portion 72 extends upwardly from the back wall 20 of the respective box 12 having the middle portion 70 being horizontally oriented. Thus, the middle portion 70 rests on the upper edge 66 of the door 68 having the back portion 74 extending downwardly on the door 68. The pair of boxes 12 includes a first box 76 and a second box 78, and each of the grapples 64 is positioned on the first box 76. Each of the second holes 42 in the first box 76 receives a coupler 80 that engages a respective one of the first holes 34 in the second box 78 for suspending the second box 78 from the first box 76. As is most clearly shown in FIG. 6, a bag 82 is provided, possibly comprised of a mesh material, for receiving soiled garments. The bag 82 can be suspended with couplers 84 that engage each of the second holes 74 in the second box 78.


In use, second box 78 is suspended from the first box 76 and the first box 76 is suspended on the door 68. The garments 14 are placed into respective compartments 30 in the respective first box 76 and second box 78 for storage. Each of the first cutouts 44 and the second cutouts 50 can be bent outwardly for hanging garments 14 thereon. Hats, or any other garment, can be suspended on each of the hooks 56. The slots 32 in each of the boxes 12 facilitate the level of garments 14 in each compartment 30 in each of the boxes 12 to be visible. Moreover, each of the garments 14 can be retrieved through the trough 36 in each of the boxes 12 for use and the slots 32 facilitate the level of garments 14 in each compartment 30 in each box 12 to be visible.


With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.


Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
