Abstract

Apparatus and methods for storing and carrying personal item. In one embodiment, the storage container is nested within a pair of opposing hooks in a stowed position. In a deployed position, the container can be rotated relative to each of the hooks. Further, one of the hooks can be moved to a deployed position such that the apparatus can be hung from the deployed hook, and further such that an object such as a coat or a purse can be suspended from the second hook.

1 . An apparatus for storing objects, comprising:
 a container having an interior and first and second ends, an opening providing access to the interior, and a repeatedly releasable cap covering the opening;   a support member rotatably coupled to said container, said member having two ends, one of the ends being generally in the shape of a first hook; and   a second hook having an opened end, said second hook being coupled to said support member proximate the other end of said support member and movable between first and second positions relative to said support member, wherein in the first position the opened end of said second hook can receive therein an end of said container, and in the second position said second hook and said first hook have the general shape of an “S”;   wherein one of said first hook or said second hook is adapted and configured to vertically support said container such that said container and the other of said first hook or said second hook are located below the one hook.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first hook is fixed in position relative to said support member. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said second hook is rotatable relative to said support member. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said second hook is slidable relative to said support member. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the second hook is adapted and configured to vertically support said container. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said container is generally cylindrical, the opening is a first opening at an end of said cylinder, and said container includes a second lengthwise opening. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus for storing objects, comprising:
 a container having an interior and first and second ends, an opening providing access to the interior, and a repeatedly releasable cap covering the opening; and   first and second hooks each having an opened end and each said hook extending from said container, said first hook being positionable to support said container from a first object, said second hook being positionable to support a second object from said container;   wherein said container is rotatable relative to said first and second hooks, and each of said first and second hooks are positionable such that each end of said container fits within the opened end of a different respective hook.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the first object is a door, and said first hook is adapted and configured to fit over the top of the door. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said container has a shape established by a generally rigid material. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said first hook is positionable such that the opened end of said first hook receives therein the first end of said container, and said second hook is positionable such that the opened end of said second hook receives therein the second end of said container. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said container is generally cylindrical. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein the end of each said hook is adapted and configured to receive therein a different end of the cylindrical container. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein the opening is at one end of said cylindrical container, and the cap is generally circular. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said first hook, said second hook, and said container each extend from a support member. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein said first hook is slidable to the support position relative to said support member.
