Concealing lavatory supply storage caddy
Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to an apparatus for storing and/or concealing lavatory and/or hygienic products. Specifically, the disclosed technology is directed to a housing having an at least partially hollowed interior portion. The interior portion is adapted to store, enclose and/or conceal a toilet stoppage release tool, such as, for example, a plunger or force cup. Any shape and/or style of plunger may be stored in the housing, including, but not limited to a standard plunger, a toilet plunger, a sink plunger, an accordion plunger and/or a taze plunger. The housing may also include a narrow shaft portion which may correspond and conform to the shaft of the plunger. The narrow portion may be adapted to receive and store toilet paper rolls such that the hollow core of the toilet paper rolls is axially disposed around the shaft.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An apparatus for storing a plunger and concealing a plunger, comprising:
an exterior cylindrical enclosure having a top end, a bottom end and a circuitous side wall; an interior cylindrical conduit disposed within said exterior cylindrical enclosure, said interior cylindrical conduit and said exterior cylindrical enclosure sharing a common vertical axis further wherein said exterior cylindrical enclosure is longer than said interior cylindrical conduit along said vertical axis; a hollow compartment disposed at said bottom end of said exterior cylindrical enclosure, said hollow compartment adapted to receive a cup portion of said plunger therein, wherein said interior cylindrical conduit terminates and opens into a top end of said compartment; and a handle disposed on an exterior portion of said apparatus.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said bottom end of said exterior cylindrical enclosure defines an opening such that said plunger rests on an exterior surface.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said bottom end of said exterior cylindrical enclosure defines a flat interior surface onto which said plunger rests.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said interior cylindrical conduit is adapted to receive a plurality of toilet paper rolls axially disposed thereon, said toilet paper rolls being encased within said exterior cylindrical enclosure.
5 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a bottom roll of said plurality of toilet paper rolls abuts a top surface of said hollow compartment.
6 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
a toilet paper dispensing compartment disposed at said top end of said exterior cylindrical enclosure such that said toilet paper dispensing compartment is an extension of said exterior cylindrical enclosure, a cross section of said toilet paper dispensing compartment having a diameter equal to a cross section of said exterior cylindrical enclosure.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a fastener for removably affixing said dispensing compartment to said exterior cylindrical enclosure.
8 . A method for selectively storing and withdrawing lavatory supplies, the method comprising:
placing a plunger on a flat surface; placing an enclosure atop said plunger such that a handle of said plunger is disposed within a narrow interior cylinder of said enclosure; axially stacking on or more toilet paper rolls around said narrow interior cylinder within said enclosure; and detachably affixing a modular toilet paper dispenser onto said enclosure by fastening a latch, said modular toilet paper dispenser having a handle disposed thereon.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising a step of lifting said enclosure by said handle in a direction substantially away from said flat surface such that said plunger is exposed and accessible.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising a step of releasing said latch and lifting said modular dispenser by said handle such that said toilet paper rolls are accessible.
11 . A lavatory supply storage tower comprising:
a plunger having a cup with an elongated handle extending therefrom, wherein an open end of said cup is stood onto a surface such that said handle extends orthogonally away from said cup and said surface; an enclosure placed over said plunger, said enclosure having a first exterior cylinder and a second interior cylinder disposed inside said exterior cylinder, wherein said handle of said plunger is inserted into a base orifice of said interior cylinder; and a plurality of toilet paper rolls disposed between said first cylinder and said second cylinder such that said second cylinder extends axially through each toilet paper roll of said plurality of toilet paper rolls.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
