Drawer Liner

Abstract

Disclosed is a flexible drawer liner with raised projections, which allows for orderly arrangement of items—between the projections. Cut to size, it fits in any/all drawers and boxes, and can be used in kitchen, office, bathroom, workroom . . . wherever. It replaces existing rigid organizers such as kitchen silverware trays, or other organizational boxes. And, no need for a separate drawer liner—as the invention is a cushioned liner and organizer all in one. It just gets measured and cut to fit any drawer or box. Arrange your silverware or other items on the liner, and you're done. It's time to throw away those drawer organizers that don't fit, and just don't do the job very well. The invention can also be used in sinks, as a draining mat, leaning dishes on end to dry. This is a clever household organization solution—and is a great fit for existing products such as cooking and eating utensils, hand tools, et cetera.

1 . A storage mat for useful articles, wherein the mat comprises a base and a plurality of
 projections stemming from the mat, and arranged in an orderly manner along two directions, so as to provide a means for organizing said articles in either a corresponding or a facilitated orderly manner.   
   
   
       2 . The storage mat in  claim 1  whose base is of a material and form that it may easily be trimmed to custom size, and fitted to the bottom of a sink, so as to act as a convenient strainer for drying washed dishes. 
   
   
       3 . The storage mat in  claim 1  wherein said articles are hand tools, craft supplies, or flatware. 
   
   
       4 . The storage mat in  claim 1  whose projections are shaped with a cross-sectional area that is greatest at some pre-determined distance from the base, so as to keep articles in position and prevent them from shifting. 
   
   
       5 . The storage mat in  claim 1  whose projections are of a material and form that they may easily be severed selectively, so as to define one or more clearances fitted to one or more said articles. 
   
   
       6 . The storage mat in  claim 5  wherein said articles are hand tools, craft supplies, or flatware.
