Compact Folded Garment Storage Display and Dispensing Device

摘要

This compact storage, display, and dispensing system for folded garments comprises a plurality of stackable, flexible trays, each of which may hold a uniformly-folded garment, and vertical rails to which each tray may attach individually by magnets in single reinforced tray edges. Trays have nonslip upper surfaces so the garments do not slide off. Users view and select a desired garment, then remove the appropriate tray without disturbing adjacent garments or trays by simply pulling to overcome the magnetic force holding that tray attached. The remaining trays remain attached, and the force of gravity causes them to slide down the rails to occupy the space previously occupied by the now removed tray. Empty trays can either be added to the top of the stack, or removed for refilling. Due to the force of the magnets, removed trays remain in neat vertical stacks, either when empty or refilled.

主权项

1. A device for compactly and neatly storing, displaying, and dispensing uniformly sized folded garments, comprising:
a plurality of thin, flexible, substantially planar, substantially horizontal, stackable trays; a means providing nonslip qualities to a portion of the upper side of each of said trays, chosen from the group of a textured finish, a material having the property of high friction with garments it contacts, and a combination of the two first members of the group; a reinforced tray edge on each of said trays; a plurality of parallel, substantially vertical, elongated rails attached to the environs, composed of a material to which a magnet attracts; a plurality of permanent magnets made a part of each said reinforced tray edge as a means for temporarily attaching each said reinforced tray edge to said vertical support rails.
