BOTTLE STORAGE DEVI CE Filed Oct. 24, 1965 INVENTOR. Eowm' S. CRosby L.|o- EL. TEFF-T ATTORNEY United States Patent f 3,365,068 BOTTLE STORAGE DEVICE Edwin S. Crosby, Victorville, Calif. (700 E. Taft Ave., Apt. 43, Orange, Calif. 92667) Filed Oct. 24, 1965, Ser. No. 504,514 1 Claim. (Cl. 211-74) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for storing bottles or containers by slidingly suspending their caps from a holder which is mounted to a cabinet or the like. Each cap projection is inserted into a slidable retainer which in turn is slidably contained within the holder.
This invention relates to storage devices for bottles, tubes and containers of any kind.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a suspension means for bottles and the like.
Another object of the invention is in the provision of a bottle or container cap that is insertable in a retainer for storage.
The fundamental theory of the present invention is to provide a novel device for sustaining bottles, tubes, containers and the like in such manner that they are retained in a position for easy removal. The caps may be of any kind but each has a projection that is insertable in a slot in a retainer and then twisted or rotated into its storage position. A cam action may be used to tighten the bottle in the retainer. Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it is contemplated that the elements may be inverted to accomplish the same result.
Yet another object of the invention is in the provision of a bottle cap having a projection that fits into a retainer by rotary twist.
A further object is to provide a separate slide for the retainer.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, herewith, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a schematic view;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of the device;
FIGURE 3 is a plan view of the cap; and
FIGURE 4 is an edge view of FIGURE 3.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings. It makes little difference how the bottles, containers and the like are suspended and their position. It is important that a projection or vice versa is easily insertable in a slotted retainer and rotated to storage position. The retainer holding a number of elements may be attached in a cabinet in any manner. It may be used for laboratory purpose and in many other ways. It is es- 3,365,068 Patented Jan. 23, 1968 sential that the containers be easily inserted in the retainer and rotated for storage. A plurality of containers may be storage suspended in the retainer and the retainer contained in a separate slide which will permit their removal 5 as a unit.
An elongated retainer is slotted longitudinally at 12. The retainer 10 may be attached to any type of cabinet. A bottle, tube or container of any character 14 has a cap 16 of any kind. It is important that from the cap 10 there is a projection 18 that is substantially flat for insertion in the slot 12. The projection 18 has ears 20 which when rotated in the slot provide the suspension means. The projection 18 may be cam fashioned at 22 to provide a retainer tightening means.
The device may be used as heretofore described or the retainer 10 may be disposed in a surrounding slide 24. In this case the retainer With plural suspended bottles may be withdrawn as a unit. The slide 24 may be attached at 26 to a cabinet or the like.
The operation of the device is relatively simple and the storage of containers in any position inverted or otherwise is easily and handily accomplished. A single bottle may be quickly withdrawn or an entire tray removed from the slide. The form of the cap projection may be 5 changed in many ways. It is also possible to reverse the elements Without changing the operation.
While I have described in considerable detail what I ..believe to be the preferred form of my invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various 30 changes may be made in the shape and arrangement of the several parts without departing from the broad scope of my invention as defined in the following claim.
I claim: 1. A storage device for bottles, tubes, containers and the like, comprising:
a retainer having a longitudinal slot on its underside; a removable container cap; a projection from said cap fashioned in a manner for insertion in said slot and storage suspension from said retainer when rotatably twisted; and
a separate holder in which said retainer is removably disposed.
