Abstract
A container storage device may include a rectangular rigid member that may include multiple apertures distributed throughout. The container storage device may include multiple flexible members affixed to the rectangular rigid member where a center point of the multiple flexible members is configured to align with a center point of the multiple apertures. The multiple flexible members may be configured to hold recyclable objects within the multiple apertures. The container storage device may include at least one elongated vertical support member affixed to the rectangular frame. The container storage device may include a base portion affixed to the at least one elongated vertical support, configured to maintain the at least one elongated vertical support in a vertical orientation.
Claims19
A container storage device, comprising:
- a rectangular rigid member;
- a plurality of apertures distributed throughout the rectangular rigid member;
- a plurality of flexible members affixed to the rectangular rigid member, wherein a center point of the plurality of flexible members is configured to align with a center point of the plurality of apertures, such that one flexible member of the plurality of flexible members is associated with one aperture of the plurality of apertures, wherein the plurality of flexible members are configured to hold recyclable objects within the plurality of apertures;
- a rectangular frame comprising:
- a top side including a slit that spans a lengthwise portion of the top side;
- a first side including a first medial edge that contains a first groove;
- a second side including a second medial edge that contains a second groove;
- and
- a bottom side including a third medial edge that contains a third groove,
- wherein the first side is substantially parallel to the second side, the top side is substantially parallel to the bottom side, the first side and the second side are substantially perpendicular to the top side and the bottom side, and
- wherein the slit is sized and configured to allow the rectangular rigid member and the plurality of flexible members affixed thereto to pass through, and the edges of the rectangular rigid member are received into the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove;
- at least one elongated vertical support member affixed to the rectangular frame;
- and
- a base portion affixed to the at least one elongated vertical support, configured to maintain the at least one elongated vertical support in a vertical orientation.
A container storage device, comprising:
- a rigid member comprising a plurality of apertures therethrough;
- a frame sized and shaped to encase the rigid member, the frame comprising:
- a top side including a slit that spans a lengthwise portion of the top side;
- a first side including a first medial edge that contains a first groove;
- a second side that is parallel to the first side and has a medial edge that contains a second groove;
- and
- a bottom side that is parallel to the top side and has a medial edge that contains a third groove,
- wherein the first side and the second side are perpendicular to the top side and the bottom side, and
- wherein the first side, the second side, the top side, and the bottom side are substantially planar;
- a plurality of flexible members configured to attach to the rigid member, wherein a center point of the plurality of flexible members is configured to align with a center point of the plurality of apertures, the plurality of flexible members being sized and configured to receive a plurality of recyclable containers;
- and
- at least one vertical support configured to attach to the frame.
