- the dimension L is preferably in a range between about 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) and about 1.50 inch (38.1 mm), and more preferably in a range between about 0.75 inch (19.05 mm) and about 1.25 inch (31.75 mm), and most preferably is about equal to 1.00 inch (25.4 mm).
- the dimension A is preferably in a range between about 0.75 inch (19.05 mm) and about 1.25 inch (31.75 mm), and more preferably in a range between about 0.90 inch (22.86 mm) and about 1.10 inch (27.94 mm), and most preferably is about equal to 1.031 inch (26.1874 mm).
- FIG. 9 shows a hanging device 150 according to another embodiment wherein elements common to the various embodiments are given like reference numbers.
- the two arms 86 and 88 are replaced by a single arm 152 that is preferably (although not necessarily) centered between the sides 90, 92 of the hanging device 150.
- the hanging device 150 includes all other aspects of the embodiment shown in FIG.
- a user positions a box, such as the box 24, such that the arm 152 extends into one of the slots 37-42 in exactly the same way as described above with reference to the device of FIG. 1. However, the box is suspended from the single arm 152.
- the box 24 need only include a single slot or multiple individual slots as opposed to pairs of slots, if desired, in this embodiment.
- a hanging device 160 according to a further embodiment is shown.
- the integral projection 80 of the device of FIG. 1 is not present; however, two projections 162,164 taper or bulge outwardly on each side 90, 92 of the raised portion 52 of the lower section 56 and a small tab 166 is integrally formed on the back side 168 of the flexible panel section 61.
- the projections 162, 164 abut and support the panel 30 (or another of the panels 28, 29 and 31-33) of the box 24.
- This contact causes the flexible panel section 61 to move past the edge of the panel 29 and allow the panel 29 to establish the above- described interference fit between the suspended box 24 and the flexible panel section 61.
- a force is applied against the flexible panel section 61 to move same rearwardly into the opening 60.
- double sided adhesive tape 170 the thickness of which is exaggerated in FIG. 11 for clarity
- such movement may cause the tab 166 to contact a first side 171 of the double sided adhesive tape 170; however, the size of the tab 166 is sufficiently small to prevent substantial adhesion of the flexible panel 61 to the adhesive tape 170.
- FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate yet another holding device 190 according to another embodiment.
- the holding device has a somewhat different hinge structure 192 as compared to the previous embodiments that results in the flexible panel section 61 being offset as well as inclined with respect to the base surface 50 when in the undeflected position (as seen in FIGS. 12 and 13).
- a raised flange 194 extends away from the base surface 50 in the form of roughly a figure-eight shape and includes a projection in the form of a lower portion 196 that is raised still farther away from the base surface 50, as seen in FIG. 13.
- FIG. 14 illustrates a holding device 210 according to yet another embodiment which is identical to the embodiment of FIGS. 12 and 13, except that the flexible panel section 61 is replaced by a static (i.e., non-movable) central panel section 212 that does not interfere with any portion of the box 24 when the box 24 is mounted on the holding device 210.
- the box 24 is retained on the holding device 210 solely by the interference between the surface 198 and the inner surfaces 200, 202 of the arms 86, 88.
- FIG. 15 illustrates three slot groups 220, 222, and 224 disposed in the panel 29 of the box 24.
- Each slot group 220, 222, and 224 includes slots 220a-220c, 222a-
- the slots 220a-220c, 222a-222c, and 224a-224c are all identical and have the dimensions noted above with respect to FIGS. 1-2B.
- the slot 220a is defined by a score line 226 and a perforated section 228.
- the score line 226 extends at least a portion, and more preferably, the full extent of a linear side portion 229 of the slot 220a whereas a remainder of the slot 220a, including curved end portions 230, 232, comprise the perforated section 228.
- the perforated section 228 separates from the remainder of the panel 29, and the resulting separated portion folds about the score line 226 and remains attached to the panel 29.
- the separated portion(s) of the panels(s) 28-33 that are punched through to form the opening(s) remain attached to the box 24 so that undesirable litter is not formed.
- the box 24 may be disposed on any of the holding devices illustrated and described above, in which case, the arm(s) of the holding device extend into a like number of slot(s) in the box 24 to suspend the box 24 thereon.
- a holding device identical to any of the preceding embodiments, but having three arms could be used to suspend the box 24 illustrated in
- FIG. 15 illustrates a box 24 having single openable portions 230 and 232 in one of the panels 28-32, for example, the panel 31.
- the openable portions 230 and 232 may be (although they need not be) substantially identical in size and shape. In the illustrated embodiment, the openable portion 230 is disposed adjacent the end panel 32 and is spaced the distance A therefrom.
- the openable portion 232 is disposed adjacent the panel 30 and is spaced the distance A therefrom.
- Each openable portion 230, 232 further has a first dimension equal to the dimension L discussed above and a second dimension W.
- the dimension W is in a range between about 1.25 inch (31.75 mm) and about 2.30 inch (58.42 mm), and more preferably is in a range between about 1.50 inch (38.1 mm) and about 2.05 inch (52.07 mm), and most preferably is equal to about 1.781 inch (45.2374 mm).
- the openable portions 230 and 232 are preferably defined by score lines 234, 236 and perforated sections 238, 240, like the slots 220, 222, and 224 described above.
- any of the holding devices described above may be used to support the box illustrated in FIG. 16. Specifically, a user first determines which of the openable portions 230 or 232 is to be opened to permit support of the box 24. The user then pushes in the desired portion 230 or 232, thereby causing separation of the perforated section 238 or 240 from the balance of the panel 31 and bending of the openable portion about the score line 234 or 236. The arms of any one of the holding devices described above can then be inserted into the resulting opening such that the arms are disposed at outer side sections of the opening and extend inside the box and engage an inner surface of the panel 31. The flexible panel section 61 (if present) eventually moves into interfering engagement with either the end panel 32 or the panel 30 to lock the box 24 on the holding device. The box 24 can thereafter be released from the holding device as noted above.
- the hanging device of the present invention can be made from any suitable rigid material such as plastic, glass, metal, wood and similar substances. The only important features of the materials of construction are that they be relatively rigid, inexpensive, and can be readily formed into a desired shape. Suitable plastic materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, styrene, nylon, and a wide variety of other similar homopolymers and copolymer materials. Any suitable molding technique can be used to form these devices, including injection molding and thermoforming. [0056]
- the hanging device allows a user to address a variety of home storage problems. First, the hanging device enables a user to store and organize boxes to fully utilize available storage space. For example, in a closet, pantry, cabinet, or the like the present invention allows a user to hang boxes from the underside of a surface, thus freeing up the shelf surface space for the storage of other items.
- the hanging device of the present invention may be of any suitable shape, such as polygonal (triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc.), circular, regular, or irregular shape.
- the hanging device may be packaged in the box in combination with the product stored therein, or the hanging device may be separately provided, as desired.
- Fastening means such as a section of double-sided adhesive tape, screws, hook and loop fasteners, etc... may also be provided in the box or may be provided separately, as desired.
