Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This document relates to the technical field of (and is not limited to) a storage organizer including (having) a fabric assembly that is stretchable and flexible (and/or a method therefor).

BACKGROUND

FIG. 1 depicts a perspective view of an embodiment of the PRIOR ART. A storage assembly 900 may include a drawer 902. The drawer 902 is configured to be received (at least in part) into the dresser 904. The drawer 902 is configured to receive an article 906 (such as a clothing item, a sock, etc.).

SUMMARY

It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing storage organizers (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution have been identified (at least in part) and are articulated (at least in part) as follows:
Existing storage organizers are made to be received in a storage assembly. Once an existing storage organizer is received in the storage assembly, a first interior portion (a first interior space) of the storage assembly accommodates (receives) the existing storage organizer, while a second interior portion (second interior space) of the storage assembly remains empty. The second interior portion (of the storage assembly) becomes wasted but potentially available space (within the storage assembly) that could be more completely utilized for receiving and organizing additional articles.
What may be needed is a storage organizer configured to utilize as much of the available interior space of a storage assembly as possible so that little (preferably none) of the interior space of the storage assembly is wasted (that is, not used for storage purposes), and most (preferably all) of the potentially available interior space (within the storage assembly) is (completely) utilized for receiving and organizing of additional articles to be received and stored.
To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a storage organizer.
The storage organizer includes a fabric assembly. The fabric assembly is stretchable and flexible. The fabric assembly provides article receivers. The fabric assembly is configured to be securely positioned at anchor positions located in a storage assembly.
A preferable technical advantage of the storage organizer is that the storage organizer is configured to utilize as much of the available interior space of the storage assembly as possible so that little (preferably none) of the interior space of the storage assembly is wasted, and most (preferably all) of the potentially available interior space (within the storage assembly) is (preferably completely) utilized for receiving and organizing the articles (to be received and stored).
To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) a method.
The method is for storing articles in a storage assembly. The method includes and is not limited to (comprises) placing a storage organizer within the storage assembly; the storage organizer includes a fabric assembly that is stretchable and flexible. The fabric assembly provides article receivers. The fabric assembly is configured to be securely positioned at anchor positions located in a storage assembly. The method also includes securely positioning the fabric assembly at anchor positions located in the storage assembly.
