AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0016]The primary object of the present invention is to provide a storage compartment mounted within the thickness of an existing door, wherein articles may be stored therein while reducing utilized space within a dwelling.

[0018]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved hollow door storage system with multiple levels of storage, along with a fold out panel that increases usable surface area for storage of articles.

[0020]Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved hollow door storage system that allows a user to utilize the system for the organization of fashion accessories or similar articles.

Problems solved by technology

These devices, however, are not optimally structured to maximize the amount of storage for the space provided, nor do they provide an improved means of organizing fashion accessories or similar articles.

They similarly do not allow for viewing of articles within the storage space itself prior to removal thereof.

The Matselboba device does not extend rearwardly from the closet door, which significantly limits storage space, while its door entry is a door gate that opens using two doors that spread apart to gain access to the hollow interior.

The door closet and closet box both have handles that are similar to that provided in the Matselboba device, which are less than ideal given the additional space that the handles take up within the room.

The storage space is located only against the back wall of the storage container, which does not maximize the space within the storage container.

The devices disclosed in the prior art do not address the need for maximizing the storage space that is available through a storage space within the hollow of a door.
