Abstract
A rotatable organizer includes a container having a circular flat bottom, a circumferential cylindrical side wall secured at the outer periphery of the flat bottom, and a plurality of compartments formed on the flat bottom and within the side wall; a main pivot nub formed centrally on the flat bottom for rotatably supporting and spacing the container from a support surface; and a plurality of spaced apart, off-center support nubs on the flat bottom in surrounding relation to the pivot nub for raising the flat bottom off of the surface during rotation of the container and for reducing the area of contact of the rotatable organizer with the support surface during rotation thereof, the support nubs being positioned on the flat bottom in at least one concentric circle with the main pivot nub at the center of each the concentric circle, so as to reduce the area of contact of the rotatable organizer with the support surface and to provide an air cushion between the undersurface of the bottom wall and the support surface.
