Abstract

The shower caddies may also include vertically and horizontally movable baskets that are independently adjustable by a mechanism, which allows the user to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the basket.
Claims14
A tilt-resisting shower caddy assembly comprising:
- a tilt-resisting support hook comprising a generally U-shaped upper portion and first and second downwardly extending side legs;
- a vertical support structure connected to at least one of the downwardly extending side legs supporting at least one basket;
- a snap clip engaging the generally U-shaped upper portion comprising an upper curved portion and first and second legs having bulbous gripping ends, the snap clip having an interior surface defining a generally cylindrical shower pipe receiving channel having a radius (R) and defining a centerline height (Cc);
- and
- at least one threaded fastener extending into one of the legs of the snap clip and through one of the first and second downwardly extending side legs of the tilt-resisting support hook at a height (H) measured downward from the centerline height (Cc) of from 0 to 60 percent of the radius (R) of the generally cylindrical shower pipe receiving channel structured to thereby resist tilting of the shower caddy assembly when installed on the shower pipe.
