A clothing article sorting apparatus comprising:
- a panel that defines a channel extending therethrough and having a shoulder extending from a periphery of the channel and configured for receivably engaging an open end of a first article,
- wherein the apparatus includes a first mode in which the shoulder receivably engages the open end of the first article and a second mode in which a second article is positioned proximal the first article and ingressed with the first article through the channel;
- wherein the container is cylindrically shaped and comprises a bottom panel for forming an enclosure, and further wherein the panel is engaged with an upper portion of the container and the panel is rotatable about the container.
A sock sorting apparatus comprising:
- a container having a bottom and a longitudinally extending sidewall extending therefrom;
- and
- a cylindrically-shaped panel aligned and engaged with an upper portion of the container, the panel defining a radially extending channel having a shoulder extending from a periphery thereof and configured for receiving an open end of a first sock,
- whereby a second sock is positioned proximal the first sock and inserted into and through the channel and disposed into the container;
- wherein the cylindrically-shaped panel is configured for rotatable movement about the container.
A sock sorting apparatus comprising:
- a container having a bottom and a longitudinally extending sidewall extending therefrom;
- and
- a panel positioned proximal the container and that includes a cylindrically shaped shoulder extending therefrom and defining a channel in alignment with the shoulder and that extends through the panel for allowing pass-through of a matched pair of socks,
- wherein the cylindrically shaped shoulder is configured for receiving an open end of a first sock,
- whereby a second sock is positioned proximal the first sock and inserted into and through a respective channel and disposed into the container;
- wherein the panel is cylindrically shaped and the channel is formed on a surface of the panel, wherein the container is cylindrically shaped and the panel is engaged with an upper portion of the container, and the panel is rotatable about the container.
A clothing article sorting apparatus comprising:
- a panel that defines a channel extending therethrough and having a shoulder extending from a periphery of the channel and configured for receivably engaging an open end of a first article,
- wherein the apparatus includes a first mode in which the shoulder receivably engages the open end of the first article and a second mode in which a second article is positioned proximal the first article and ingressed with the first article through the channel;
- and
- wherein the panel further defines a plurality of channels extending therethrough, each channel having a shoulder extending from a periphery thereof and configured for receivably engaging an open end of an article.
