Abstract
Shower caddies with vertically and horizontally movable baskets are disclosed. Each basket is independently adjustable by a mechanism including a front plate, a rear plate and a draw fastener, which allows the user to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the basket from a single control point for simple and easy operation. The shower caddies may also include a tilt-resisting locking mechanism that resists rotation of the caddies when supporting an uneven load.
Claims20
A shower caddy assembly comprising:
- a vertical support structure comprising a first and a second vertical support rod;
- at least one basket coupled to the vertical support structure;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism comprising:
- a front plate having a left rear facing surface extending inwardly from an outermost left side edge, a right rear facing surface extending inwardly from an outermost right side edge, and a planar central surface parallel with the first and second vertical support rods, and first and second vertical guide channels, wherein the first vertical guide channel is between the left rear facing surface and the planar central surface, and the second vertical guide channel is between the right rear facing surface and the planar central surface;
- a rear plate having a left front facing surface extending inwardly from an outermost left side edge, a right front facing surface extending inwardly from an outermost right side edge, a planar central surface parallel with the first and second vertical support rods, and first and second vertical guide channels, wherein the first vertical guide channel is between the left front facing surface and the planar central surface, and the second vertical guide channel is between the right front facing surface and the planar central surface;
- and a draw fastener,
- wherein the left and right rear facing surfaces of the front plate are spaced from the left and right front facing surfaces of the rear plate when the first and second support rods are clamped between the front and rear plates to thereby restrict relative vertical movement between the adjustment mechanism and the first and second vertical support rods.
