Outfits may then be created by combining two or more of the fashion items. In some embodiments, the Virtual Closet system can create recommended outfits based on weather, season, or the user's calendar. The Virtual Closet system can allow a vendor to send recommended fashion items that may complete an outfit to a user for potential purchasing. In some embodiments, a social networking Virtual Closet can be provided. The social networking Virtual Closet can allow friends to see each other's Virtual Closets, recommend outfits to one another, recommend fashion items to buy, recommend fashion items to get rid of, recommend outfits to wear at a particular event, share and borrow each other's fashion items, or can otherwise suitably provide a social networking environment through the Virtual Closet.

A garment refreshing system includes an enclosure having a top, a bottom, a sidewall, an air inlet and an air outlet, and a hook or other element on the top to facilitate hanging in a closet or other location. An electrical fan at the air inlet is operative to bring air into the enclosure and past the clothing to the air outlet, and a filter supported at the air outlet for collecting odors removed from the clothing: The preferred configuration further includes a support within the enclosure to receive clothing on hangers, and the sidewall includes a closable opening to place clothing into, and remove clothing from the enclosure. The use of a low-voltage D.C. fan, such as a 12-VDC fan, facilitates use in a vehicle. As a further option, a material associated with the air inlet to introduce a deodorizer or fragrance into the enclosure. For example, an absorbent material may be provided to receive a deodorizer or fragrance in liquid form.

A system for organizing a closet which comprises one or more pairs of slide rail assemblies and an appropriate number of baskets for mounting therebetween. Each rail assembly having an elongate mounting rail having at least one surface constructed and arranged to engage a partition, and an elongate slide rail, the elongate slide rail having at least one inner surface constructed and arranged to slidingly engage the elongate mounting rail. The elongate slide rail has an outer surface with a plurality of basket engaging hooks extending therefrom. The baskets have a double rim construction with one rim constructed and arranged to allows the baskets to be removingly secured to the hooks. A second rim being compatible with a U-channel slide. The basket may also be equipped with a pair of cross members which could be used to allows the basket to be received onto a roller slide. The hooks being flexibly adjustable so as to provide greater ability in securing a basket between the slide rails despite a lack of precise slide rail installation.

An automatic laundry washing machine that is suitable for use in living units having no area set aside for laundry facilities is achieved by replacing the heavy bulky parts of the currently popular automatic washing machine design with a light flexible bag. A large portion of the volume of any washing machine is the vessel for containing the laundry solution and articles to be washed. That vessel is a flexible bag made of modern durable material so as to be collapsible both while in use and for storage. The method of use includes the complete process of washing, rinsing, and extracting excess water in an automatic cycle analogous to standard automatic washing machines popular today. The vessel containing the items being laundered is a waterproof laundry bag with automatic washing apparatus attached. Items are automatically washed in that bag. The automatic process includes cycles of filling, washing, rinsing and extracting such that the clothes are ready for a drying process such as hanging out to dry or putting into a tumble dryer. The agitating of the washing and rinsing cycles is accomplished without the familiar bulky agitator thereby reducing the volume requirements and the traditional wear and tear on the garments. By eliminating the bulky agitator and the spin water extraction method, the heavy transmission is also eliminated. The water extraction cycle is done in a much less violent way than the conventional spin cycle by allowing atmospheric pressure to collapse the washing vessel and press the water from the articles as the water and air are pumped from the vessel in the draining portion of the cycle. The cleaning ability of the water is enhanced by built in ionic processing of the water thereby reducing the required amount of laundry detergent. The agitating in the non-electrically conductive vessel generates static electric charges in the process and ions thus produced further enhance the cleaning ability of the water. Cavitation produced in a multi-frequency washing action further enhances the washing ability of the water. The washing machine is light, compact and collapsible and is as portable as a piece of luggage. The set up procedure is simple and no assembly is required beyond attaching a quick connect fastener to a water faucet and plugging in a power cord. The washing machine is light and takes little storage space. It can be put in a small closet or on a shelf when not in use. The minimum capacity of the washing machine is a single garment. The normal capacity of the washing machine is comparable to that of a standard household washing machine.

An enclosure (100) for distributing optical fibers for communications includes a housing to house at least one optical fiber from a distribution cable and at least one drop fiber and an extractable fiber organizer (130) disposable in the housing. The extractable fiber organizer includes at least one splice tray (151a, b) rotatably coupled to a fiber ramp (140), the fiber ramp being detachably disposed in the housing. A fiber slack storage unit is disposed within the housing, the fiber slack storage unit including a fiber slack storage tray (122) configured to spool fiber slack. The ramp is configured to receive a distribution fiber (106a, b) and a drop fiber (108) from the fiber slack storage unit and guide the optical fibers to the at least one splice tray. The enclosure with the extractable fiber organizer allows the installer or service technician to work on fiber splices in a comfortable position, especially for an enclosure located in a riser closet or underground chamber.

An engaging structure of the drawer of a closet includes a fixing element on any one of the two opposite sides of the drawer that have sliding rails. One end of the fixing element is provided with a first guiding part corresponding to the end edge of the lift handle disposed on the front side of the drawer. The other end of the fixing element has an engaging part to engage with a stopping part when the drawer is put into the closet. To pull or push the drawer out of or into the closet, the user uses the lift handle to control the engagement or departure between the engaging part and the stopping part.

Disclosed is a large capacity piece of luggage that complies with the maximum size requirements of the airlines with a plurality of special features. These include an infinitely variable position handle used to either pull or push the luggage on two large curb climbing wheels. The handle can rotate in a horizontal plane from one of its supporting vertical members to provide a temporary closet rod for hanging clothes from hangers. The handle also includes hooks to hang clothes from. Also included is a telescoping integral luggage cart with steerable auxiliary wheels. Other features include fixed, but removable identification plaques that are externally visible, an externally visible large figure digital travel alarm clock, an integral fold out table disposed within the cover of the luggage and supported thereby, and an externally accessible freshen kit and utility drawer. The invention further includes a chest of drawers feature which allows interior bags to be used either as drawers or to be removable from the parent bag and used as separate luggage to double the capacity of the original piece of luggage. Finally, on the back of the luggage is a pouch type of an enclosure similar to that which are on the backs of front car seats which may be accessed from the upper side to store a newspaper, magazines and the like.

A modular shelving system has modular members in which upper and lower links along corresponding sides of the rectangle are joined by uprights in the form of pairs of columns whose pins engage in holes of the links. The holes are provided in pairs at each corner so that four equivalent holes are disposed in a row when two modular members lie in the same plane and adjoin at the respective corners. The columns can interconnect the modular members.
