Benefits of technology

[0004]The present invention addresses these needs by providing, in one embodiment, a device for organizing a plurality of objects, the objects containing at least one aperture there through. The device allows one to easily and efficiently inspect and access the organized objects. Additionally, certain embodiments this invention enable a user to transport the organized objects effectively from one location to another and may also enable a user to store the objects in a primary location.
[0007]Another embodiment of this invention is a method for organizing objects, each of the objects forming at least aperture there through, the method comprises providing a device comprising an elongated strand comprising a first end and a second end, a support member integral with or attached to the first end respectively, and a retention member integral with or attached to the second end respectively; inserting the retention member and at least a portion of the elongated strand through the at least one aperture of each of the objects; and disposing the retention member so that at least one dimension of the retention member is greater than the largest diameter of the at least one aperture of a last object to thereby retain a plurality of the objects on the elongated strand.
[0008]Still further, in an alternate embodiment, this invention is a method for organizing objects, each of the objects forming at least aperture there through, the method comprises providing a device comprising a plurality of elongated strands, each elongated strand comprising a first end and a second end, a support member integral with or attached to the first ends of the plurality of elongated strands in a fixed arrangement, and a plurality of retention members, each integral with or attached to a respective second end of one of the plurality of elongated strands; inserting at least one of the retention members and at least a portion of the elongated strand through the at least one aperture of each of the objects; and disposing the at least one of the retention members so that at least one dimension of the retention member is greater than the largest diameter of the at least one aperture of a last object to thereby retain a plurality of the objects on the elongated strand.

Problems solved by technology

However, particular problems may arise if the objects are of certain dimensions, need to be inspected or counted quickly, or transported on short notice.
Additionally, the organized objects may not be easily accessible and may require substantial time to access particular objects when they are stored amongst a plurality of different objects.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]As stated above, this invention comprises a device for organizing objects containing at least one aperture there through. FIG. 1 shows the invention generally comprising an elongated strand 10, a support member 12, and a retention member 14. Elongated strand 10 comprises a first end 16 and a second end 18. Support member 12 is either integral with or attached to first end 16. Retention member 14 is either integral with or attached to second end 18. Retention member 14 is sized and configured so that retention member 14 may be threaded through the aperture 20 of each of objects 22 in a manner in which at least a portion of elongated strand 10 also is threaded through aperture 20 of each of objects 22 and thereafter at least one dimension (shown by line A-A) of retention member 14 is of a sufficient magnitude relative to a largest diameter (shown by line B-B) of aperture 20 formed by a last one of objects 22 through which retention member 14 is threaded that retention member 14 ...

Abstract

This invention relates to a novel device for organizing objects containing at least one aperture there through and an accompanying efficient method for storing the objects using the device. In one of its embodiments, this invention comprises an elongated strand comprising a first end and a second end, a support member integral with or attached to the first end, and a retention member integral with or attached to the second end. Furthermore, the retention member is sized and configured so that the retention member may be threaded through the aperture of each of the objects in a manner in which at least a portion of the elongated strand also is threaded through the aperture of each of the objects and thereafter at least one dimension of the retention member is of a sufficient magnitude relative to a largest diameter of the aperture formed by a last one of the objects through which the retention member is threaded that the retention member is inhibited from threading back through the aperture formed by the last one of the objects.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to devices for organizing a plurality of objects, the objects defining at least one aperture there through, and related methods for storing objects.BACKGROUND[0002]Conventional approaches to organizing objects have varied greatly in the past depending on the type and size of the objects and the purpose for organizing the objects. Popular solutions to the organization of objects include the placement of objects in bins or other like compartments within a partially enclosed structure. However, particular problems may arise if the objects are of certain dimensions, need to be inspected or counted quickly, or transported on short notice. Additionally, the organized objects may not be easily accessible and may require substantial time to access particular objects when they are stored amongst a plurality of different objects. This is especially true for objects which, by their nature, share common characteristics but come in a wide variety of sh...
