Problems solved by technology

It has been noticed that storing packaged products in such cabinets is undesirable because the products are stored out of sight and forgotten only to become unused.
Furthermore, it has also been noticed that simply placing products in cabinets does not represent a particularly efficient means of storage.
Storing packaged products, including bottled products, so that they may be easily and conveniently accessed has, therefore, long been a problem in the art of storage and containing.
However, current storage solution efforts have yielded shelving and other storage devices that while adequate are difficult to make, expensive, difficult to construct, and inefficient, thus necessitating the continuing and ongoing improvement in the art.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Turning now to the drawings, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout the several views, attention is first directed to FIG. 1 in which there is seen a perspective view of a display and storage apparatus 20 constructed and arranged in accordance with the principle of the invention, which is shown as it would appear positioned on a counter top 21 and against a vertical wall 22 fashioned with a backsplash 23, which extends upward from countertop 21 being exemplary of a wall and countertop arrangement commonly found in kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops, vanity countertops, etc. Apparatus 20 includes a backboard 30 having opposed upper and lower extremities 31 and 32, opposed sides 33 and 34, and a plurality of tiered steps 35 between upper end lower extremities 31 and 32, and between sides 33 and 34. Steps 35 define opposed front and rear faces 36 and 37 of backboard 30, which is best depicted in FIG. 7, which is a vertical, side sect...

Abstract

A display and storage apparatus includes a backboard having opposed upper and lower extremities, opposed sides, and a plurality of tiered steps between the opposed upper end lower extremities and the opposed sides and defining opposed front and rear faces of the backboard. The steps each have a generally vertical wall, and a generally horizontal wall extending forwardly of the generally vertical wall. Opposed, substantially coextensive, upstanding sidewalls are attached to the opposed upper and lower extremities of the backboard and the opposed sides of the backboard. The rear face of the backboard and inner faces of the sidewalls form a cavity. Backsplash receiving recesses are formed into lower portions of the sidewalls.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to devices for displaying and storing selected objects. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Vitamins, medications, and spices are but a few of the categories of consumer products that most people use on a daily basis. Such products, among others, are typically packed in relatively small, lidded containers, which are usually stored in cabinets, such as medicine cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and kitchen cabinets. It has been noticed that storing packaged products in such cabinets is undesirable because the products are stored out of sight and forgotten only to become unused. Furthermore, it has also been noticed that simply placing products in cabinets does not represent a particularly efficient means of storage. [0003] Storing packaged products, including bottled products, so that they may be easily and conveniently accessed has, therefore, long been a problem in the art of storage and containing. Accordingly, skilled artisans...
