Room and shop organizer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing organizer devices fail to effectively store and organize elongated, bulky items on walls, leading to clutter and tripping hazards in living and work spaces, while being user-friendly, safe, and cost-effective.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted horizontal track with attachable, adjustable rings, comprising a base member with a channel and connector members, allows for secure and adjustable attachment of items of varying sizes, made from durable ABS plastic, preventing items from lying on the floor and keeping spaces clutter-free.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If elongated items are stored on the floor, then they are easily accessible, but they create clutter and tripping hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions item storage from the horizontal plane (floor) to the vertical plane (wall-mounted track), effectively moving items to another dimension. This vertical wall storage system allows elongated items to be hung above floor level while remaining accessible, thereby eliminating tripping hazards and floor clutter while maintaining ease of access.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a fixed shelf is used to store items, then items are kept off the floor, but the shelf cannot accommodate items of varying sizes and positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic wall-mounted track system with movable ring holders that can slide along the track to different positions. This dynamic configuration allows the storage system to adapt to items of varying sizes and shapes, enabling flexible adjustment of holder positions and orientations while keeping items elevated off the floor.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage system is divided into separate modular components: a wall-mounted track and multiple independent ring holders. This segmentation allows each holder to be independently positioned and adjusted along the track, providing versatility for accommodating different item configurations while maintaining the benefit of wall-mounted storage.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a customizable storage system with multiple adjustable components is used, then items of varying sizes can be accommodated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the ring holders as universal components that can perform multiple functions: they can be positioned at different locations along the track, oriented in different directions, and used to hold various types of elongated items. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components, thereby managing device complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

AI summary
A room and shop organizer comprising a wall-mounted horizontal track with attachable, adjustable rings for holding stored items structured and arranged for storing and organizing elongated, bulky items on a wall, instead of keeping such items lying around on the floor to provide both homeowners and trades workers with a simple and effective means of keeping these items neatly stored above floor surfaces, keeping small living and work spaces free of clutter while avoiding dangerous tripping hazards.
