Modular Cabinet Storage System For Toilets

Abstract

A modular cabinet storage system for toilets that has a modular outside design that allows it to be mounted onto a standard toilet water tank, and is shaped to match the tank so that it blends well with the existing toilet design for aesthetics. Its outside modular design also allows other modular cabinet storage units to be stacked above or below it. The modular cabinet storage system is modular internally as well, providing the means to allow a wide variety of modular subassemblies to be installed inside it, such as shelving, bins, drawers and panels. These subassemblies allow the storage system to provide storage space for articles and to help organize them for easy retrieval.

       10 . A modular cabinet storage system for toilets with structural features to allow a plurality of said cabinets to modularly fit and be stacked together for expandability and with other structural features to allow said cabinet to be internally modular as well for versatility, and then to be removably stacked onto a toilet water tank, comprising a modular cabinet housing having a top side with a modular rimmed edge and bottom side with a modular mounting guide and defining an interior modular compartment and modular subassembly, comprising:
 a) said modular rimmed edge that is shaped to allow the engagement of a mating modular mounting guide that protrudes from a similar modular cabinet (or the original water tank lid) for the purpose of the engagement, positioning and secure mounting of said similar modular cabinet (or said tank lid) thereof and whereby said cabinet system can then expand externally and also have the capability to reuse said original tank lid;   b) said modular mounting guide that protrudes from said bottom side of said modular cabinet housing that is shaped to allow the engagement, positioning and secure mounting of a mating top modular rimmed edge from a similar modular cabinet (or the rim of said water tank) thereof and whereby said cabinet system can securely mount onto said toilet water tank;   c) said modular interior compartment that provides space for the storage of articles and that is shaped for the mounting and integration of modular subassemblies in order to provide the ability to subdivide its space into a variety of ways to more efficiently organize, store and retrieve articles, comprising:
 i) a means to gain access to said modular interior compartment; 
 ii) a modular cabinet subassembly that is shaped to allow the engagement, positioning and secure mounting within said modular interior compartment, comprising:
 (a) at least one subassembly interior compartment with a method to gain access to said compartment; 
 (b) a means for fastening said cabinet subassembly to into said interior compartment of said cabinet housing to form a complete cabinet assembly; 
 (c) whereby said subassembly can modularly engage and securely fit within said cabinet interior compartment and enables the storage and retrieval of articles; 
 
 iii) whereby said modular interior compartment can be accessed to store and retrieve articles; 
 iv) whereby said modular interior compartment's subassembly can be installed and secured, and can be accessed to store and retrieve articles; 
   d) whereby said cabinet housing exterior forms a modular structure so that other modular cabinet housings can be engaged, positioned and securely mounted thereof for expandability;   e) whereby said cabinet housing can be securely and removably mounted onto said water tank while retaining the ability to reuse the original toilet water tank lid;   f) whereby said cabinet housing interior forms a modular structure so that modular cabinet subassemblies can be installed therein for versatility and efficient optimization of space;   
   
   
       11 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said modular cabinet housing is shaped to fit and blend in with said water tank for aesthetics. 
   
   
       12 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said cabinet is shaped in a generic package to fit a wide variety of water tank designs for the versatility of a universal fit. 
   
   
       13 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby a lid adapter can be utilized as part of said modular cabinet system to keep said water tank covered thereby enabling said cabinet assembly to be removed from said lid adapter thereby enabling said cabinet's mobility for its remote usage from the bathroom, comprising a lid with a top planar side with a modular rimmed edge and a bottom side with a modular mounting guide, comprising;
 a) said modular rimmed edge that is shaped to allow the mating of a modular mounting guide that protrudes from said modular cabinet for the purpose of engaging, positioning and securely mounting said cabinet onto said rimmed edge;   b) said modular guide that is shaped to protrude from said bottom side of said lid adapter and is shaped to engage the rim of said water tank for the purpose of engaging, positioning and securely mounting said lid adapter onto said tank;   c) whereby said lid adapter can securely mount onto said water tank and provide a base for said modular cabinet housing to be securely mounted upon it;   d) whereby said lid adapter enables said cabinet assembly to be removed from said lid adapter thereby allowing its mobility for the remote usage of said cabinet while keeping said water tank covered.   
   
   
       14 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said cabinet interior compartment is formed to accommodate shelves, bins, drawers, panels or any combination thereof. 
   
   
       15 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said cabinet subassembly compartments are formed to accommodate shelves, bins, drawers, panels or any combination thereof. 
   
   
       16 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said modular cabinet interior subassembly is removable. 
   
   
       17 . The modular cabinet storage system of  claim 10  whereby said means of attachment of said cabinet interior subassembly into said cabinet includes glue, staples, nails and fasteners.
