Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for storing items. The apparatus may include a base comprising a base surface and a rim. One or more columns may be attached to the base surface. Additionally, the apparatus may include at least one central column, wherein the height of the at least one central column may be greater than the height of the one or more columns. This configuration may allow for efficient storage of items. The apparatus may provide a versatile and space-saving solution for organizing and storing various items.

Claims (52)

1 . An apparatus for storing items, the apparatus comprising:

a base including a base surface and a rim;

one or more columns,

wherein the one or more columns are attached to the base surface, and

wherein the one or more columns includes at least one central column;

and

a plurality of structures, each of the one or more structures including a top segment, a bottom segment, and a plurality of elongated members traversing a length between the top and bottom segments,

wherein the top segment defines a top aperture, and the bottom segment defines a bottom aperture,

wherein the bottom aperture abuts the base,

wherein at least half of a length of each of the elongated members is approximately straight,

wherein each of the one or more structures is disposed upon at least one of the one or more columns, and

wherein a height of the at least one central column is greater than a height of the one or more structures.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base is circular.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the base surface is rotatable about an approximate center of the base.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more columns are removably attached to the base surface.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further including one or more ornaments.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the one or more ornaments are permanently attached to a top surface of the one or more columns.

7 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the one or more ornaments are removably attached to a top surface of the one or more columns.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base is quadrilateral.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base is hexagonal.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the base is removably attached to one or more adjacent bases.

11 . An apparatus for storing items, the apparatus comprising:

a base including a base surface and a rim;

one or more columns,

wherein the one or more columns are attached to the base surface, and

wherein the one or more columns includes at least one central column;

and

one or more structures, each of the one or more structures including a top segment, a bottom segment, and a plurality of elongated members traversing a length between the top and bottom segments,

wherein the top segment defines a top aperture, and the bottom segment defines a bottom aperture,

wherein each of the plurality of elongated members are mechanically joined to one another via a plurality of ring members disposed along at least each of the circumference of the top aperture and the circumference of the bottom aperture,

wherein the bottom aperture abuts the base,

wherein at least half of a length of each of the elongated members is approximately straight, and

wherein a height of the at least one central column is greater than a height of the one or more structures.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the base is circular.

13 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more columns are removably attached to the base surface.

14 . The apparatus of claim 11 , further including one or more ornaments.

15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the one or more ornaments are permanently attached to a top surface of the one or more columns.

16 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the one or more ornaments are removably attached to a top surface of the one or more columns.

17 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the base is quadrilateral.

18 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the base is hexagonal.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the base is removably attached to one or more adjacent bases.

20 . An apparatus for adjustable column width, the apparatus comprising:

At least one structure including a frame including one or more wires, each structure including a top segment and a bottom segment,

wherein the one or more wires traverse a length between the top and bottom segments,

wherein the top segment defines a top aperture, and the bottom segment defines a bottom aperture,

wherein the one or more wires are mechanically joined via a plurality of ring members disposed along at least each of the circumference of the top aperture and the circumference of the bottom aperture,

wherein at least half of a length of each of the one or more wires is approximately straight; and

a base including a base surface and a rim,

wherein the rim extends around a circumference of the base,

wherein the rim is raised perpendicularly to the base surface,

wherein the bottom aperture abuts the base, and

wherein the structure is disposed upon the base surface.
