AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about an apparatus for suspending objects from a support surface. The apparatus includes a frame with four segments, and a web made of elastic bands between the segments. The elastic bands are organized into two pairs, with one pair extending around the first and second segments, and the other pair around the third and fourth segments. The elastic bands form continuous loops and are arranged in a way that they surround each other. The apparatus can be easily removed from its framework. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a simple yet effective way to suspend objects from a support surface."

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the objects are often misplaced and / or collect undesirable dirt or grime.
However, such containers tend to obscure at least portions of the objects from a user's sight, and the objects may undesirable fall out of the container if the container is inadvertently tipped or knocked over.

Abstract

An apparatus for suspending at least one object from or above a support surface includes a frame having a first segment, a second segment, a third segment and a fourth segment. The first segment extends generally parallel to the second segment and the third segment extends generally parallel to the fourth segment. The first segment extends generally perpendicularly to the second segment. A web formed by elastic bands extends between the segments of the frame. The web includes at least a first pair of the elastic bands extending generally parallel to each other and at least a second pair of the elastic bands. Opposing ends of each of the first pair of the elastic bands extend around the first and second segments of the frame. Opposing ends of each of the second pair of the elastic bands extend around the third and fourth segments of the frame.
