AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new and useful invention for a household implement holder. It is designed to store items like fly swatters that have handles. The holder has a vertical shaft that is attached to a base. The implement can be hung from a hook or peg on the holder. The vertical shaft can be attached to a wall or the holder can be supported by its base and be free-standing. The holder has a concealment shield that is attached to the base. The bottom of the implement rests in the concealment volume behind the concealment shield when it is hung from the hook or peg. The holder can be made from different materials like wood, plastic, metal, or any combination of these.

Problems solved by technology

One problem that arises with the use of certain household implements such as fly swatters is that they are unsightly and unsanitary.
Yet, there is no good place to store them when not in use.
In some cases, the household implements are left out, where they are unsightly and can create a disease hazard due to their unsanitary nature.
In other cases, they are stored somewhere in the house, and they are inconvenient when most needed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a household implement holder and, more specifically, to a household implement holder having a concealment shield attached to a base to hold a household implement having a handle while concealing a bottom portion thereof.[0003]2. The Prior Art[0004]One problem that arises with the use of certain household implements such as fly swatters is that they are unsightly and unsanitary. Yet, there is no good place to store them when not in use. In some cases, the household implements are left out, where they are unsightly and can create a disease hazard due to their unsanitary nature. In other cases, they are stored somewhere in the house, and they are inconvenient when most needed. It would be advantageous to provide a unit in which the household implement could be safely and cleanly stored when not in use, but where the household implement is readily available for use.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVEN...
