Wall-mountable caddy

Abstract

A wall-mountable organizer or caddy comprises an article or tool-retaining portion including an open sided basket portion formed in part with a plurality of upright article holders, and a depending hanger portion from which one or more articles, such as a hose, can be hung. The front and sides of the basket portion are defined by plural U-shaped basket frame members lying generally in a horizontal plane when the organizer is mounted on a vertical support, such as a wall. The basket includes a shelf formed in part by a plurality of L-shaped article holding members. Each of the holders includes a vertically extending upright or front leg, which is attached or otherwise mounted in fixed relation to the front leg of at least one of the basket frame members, and a rearwardly extending cantilevered bottom leg portion forming part of the shelf. The upright legs of some of the holders are not attached to the front legs of the basket frame members, but are spaced forwardly of the front legs of the other basket frame members. This permits the holders to receive and retain articles having hollow tubular portions placed over the ends thereof. Each end of the caddy is unobstructed so as to permit a long object, such as a wand, to be transversely inserted therethrough while being supported on the shelf of the basket portion.
