Problems solved by technology

This design appears to be somewhat awkward and can result in the shelves being skewed or slanted.
No mention is made nor is there any suggestion about selectively adjusting the location or height of the shelves but even if, speculatively, they can be, it is questionable how reliable it would be considering the amount of water and soap, shampoo, etc. that would be used frequently in the shower.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Referring initially to FIGS. 1-4, a shower caddy 10 comprises an upper or hanger member 11 having a pair of transversely spaced vertical rigid legs 11A and 11B joined together at one end which, in use, is referred to as the upper end, by a rigid arch 12, preferably an arcuately-shaped arch. One way in which the caddy is mounted so that it will hang down along a wall of the shower stall is by virtue of a cutout or recess 13 on arch 12 for engaging and resting on a pipe, not shown, for a showerhead, not shown. Typically hanger member 11 may have a shelf 16 attached between parallel transversely spaced legs 11A and 11B on which shower paraphernalia, such as soap, shampoo, lotion, etc. (not shown) rests for use by the person using the shower. Typically, with no limitation thereto intended, shelf 16 is fixedly attached to legs 11A and 11B. The manner in which the shelf 16 is attached to hanger 11 is not considered to be an essential element of the instant invention but after it is ...

Abstract

A shower caddy is made up of a hanger section which is mounted within a shower stall to extend downwardly and has parallel transversely spaced legs which are telescopically engaged with corresponding legs on an extension member with adjustable stops such that the extension member can be selectively moved up and / or down to be placed at desired elevations.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention is directed toward shower caddies which extend downward along or parallel to a wall of a shower stall and which contain shelves or hooks or similar members for holding accessories normally used in a shower stall. More particularly, the invention is aimed at providing a vertically adjustable shower caddy whereby the shelves or hooks or the like can be selectively placed at different heights or elevations to accommodate the height of the user of the shower and / or provide suitable distance between shelves on the shower caddy to accommodate different sized containers or the like.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]U.S. Pat. No. 6,520,351 by Zadro illustrates a shower caddy which is supported by the shower head pipe and hangs down therefrom and has shelves and other items which are attached to the descending legs or stanchions by tubular members which are welded to the back of the shelves with appropriate thumb screws used for selectively sliding t...
