Benefits of technology

The present invention is a rotatable spray bottle rack device that efficiently uses storage space, handles a wide variety of spray bottles, is portable, stable, and can be easily moved or fixed installed. It is also affordable and reliable. The device comprises a wire rack member mounted on a central shaft that can be adjusted in length for different spray bottle heights. Slowly rotating, the wire rack member displays spray bottles around its periphery. The device is suitable for use in closets, cabinets, and other confined areas. Each rack member is made from a plurality of radial spokes centrally connected to a hub member at inner ends of the spokes and connected to a circularly shaped outer ring at their outer ends. Slowly rotating, the wire rack member displays spray bottles around its periphery.

Problems solved by technology

Household storage space for items such as cleaning and lawn care articles is generally found to be insufficient in present homes and apartments.
Consequently, the typical condition of insufficient storage space results in disorganized and inefficient storage of spray bottles within already congested storage spaces, making selection difficult and tending to cause accidental upset and spillage of their contents by the user.
While being effective in promoting the more efficient use of cabinet and closet space and in providing accessibility to a larger variety of contents, these solutions have presented difficulties in their installation and their adaptability for use in a variety of confined spaces.
In particular, it is still common for spray bottles to be stored together side-by-side in such storage solutions so that labels and contents largely obscured and the bottles have to be serially searched to find a particular product, leading to the potential for upset and spillage.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the spray bottle rack and illustrates the features of the device. The spray bottle rack 100 provides an outer ring 101 attached to an inner rotatable hub 102 using spokes 103. The attached outer ring is supported above fixed base 104 by a fixed support tube 105 and is rotatably attached to a fixed inner shaft (not shown) using finial 106 which attaches to the threaded end of the inner shaft (not shown.) The diameter of base 104 is equal to or larger than the diameter of outer ring 101 in order to provide for the stability of the spray bottle rack when loaded with full spray bottles, and the base may contain additional weights to further improve the stability of the rack. In another embodiment (not shown) the finial is shaped to form a carrying handle with finger grips.

[0021]FIG. 2 illustrates the storage of spray bottles using the embodiment of FIG. 1. Spray bottles 201 and 202 are conveniently stored by suspending them from ...
