Abstract

In some embodiments, a device may include a mounting base and a slidable rack. The mounting base may be configured to couple to a structure and may include a guide extending from the mounting base. The slidable rack may be movably coupled to the guide of the mounting base. The slidable rack can include a substantially triangular base and a member including a proximal end coupled to the substantially triangular base and including a distal end. The slidable rack may further include a first arm assembly coupled to the member and extending adjacent to the substantially triangular base. The first arm assembly includes a plurality of notches that open toward the substantially triangular base. The slidable rack further includes a second arm assembly coupled to the distal end of the member. The second arm assembly may include a plurality of notches that open outward.

Claims (24)

1. A device comprising:

a triangular prism-shaped support; and

a slidable rack configured to slide back and forth along the triangular prism-shaped support, wherein the slidable rack comprises:

a triangular base extending in a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the structure and configured to slide back and forth along the triangular prism-shaped support;

a member including a proximal end coupled to the triangular base and including a distal end, the member extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction being substantially vertical and parallel to the surface;

a first arm assembly comprising a plurality of first notches spaced along a length of the first arm assembly, wherein the first arm assembly is coupled to the member and extends in the first direction proximate to the triangular base, and the plurality of first notches open toward the triangular base; and

a second arm assembly coupled to the distal end of the member, the second arm assembly including a plurality of second notches.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first arm assembly comprises:

a first u-channel structure on a first side of the triangular base and including a first plurality of first notches that open toward the triangular base; and

a second u-channel structure on a second side of the triangular base and including a second plurality of first notches that open toward the triangular base.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular prism-shaped support comprises a first sliding mechanism coupled to a guide.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular base includes first and second sloped surfaces, each of the first and second sloped surfaces may be configured to engage an elongate item.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first notches, the plurality of second notches, and the triangular base cooperate to secure an elongate item within the slidable rack.

6. The device of claim 1 , comprising a mounting base configured for attachment to the triangular prism-shaped support.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the mounting base comprises at least one of a hook or a z-clip.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular base is disposed between the triangular prism-shaped support and the first arm assembly.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular base comprises a beveled tip.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second notches are spaced along a length of the second arm assembly.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of first notches face one direction and the plurality of second notches face an opposite direction.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the member comprises a V-shaped bend.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular prism-shaped support comprises an inclined guide.

14. The device of claim 13 , comprising a wheel configured to engage the guide.

15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the guide comprises a u-shaped structure.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first arm assembly comprises a u-channel structure.
