Hanging Accessory Storage System

Abstract

A hanging accessory storage system for supporting and organizing personal items can include a rectangular frame constructed from a rigid material consisting of parallel lower and upper extremities and parallel side supports. The space between the parallel side supports and the parallel upper and lower extremities can define the interior of the rectangular frame, wherein a plurality of organizational support structures are anchored to the rectangular frame on their respective side supports. A hanging mechanism can be located such that the hanging mechanism is mounted on the rectangular frame, wherein in one embodiment the hook is a hanging mechanism mounted to the upper extremity. The side supports, support structures, and upper/lower extremities can be perforated by a plurality of apertures for hanging earrings or other small items of various sizes.

         8 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame is rectangular. 
     
     
         9 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame is triangular. 
     
     
         10 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame is plastic. 
     
     
         11 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame is wood. 
     
     
         12 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 d. a light. 
 
     
     
         13 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1  wherein said second extremity is perforated by a second plurality of spaced apertures. 
     
     
         14 . A hanging accessory storage system for supporting and organizing earrings comprising;
 a rectangular frame constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of plastics, metals, and organic matter consisting of parallel lower and upper extremities and parallel side supports anchored at their corresponding vertices to form said rectangular frame, the space between said parallel side supports and parallel upper and lower extremities defining the interior of said rectangular frame,   a plurality of five parallel, evenly distributed, lateral organizational support structures having ends, said ends being anchored to said rectangular frame on their respective side supports, where said organizational support structures are disposed within the interior of said rectangular frame and parallel to the minor axis of the rectangular frame,   said organizational support structures being perforated by a plurality of spaced apertures for hanging earrings, wherein the three organizational support structures closest in proximity to the lower extremity of the rectangular frame have a wider, uniform spacing of apertures for hanging larger earrings than the remaining two organizational support structures closest in proximity to the upper extremity of the rectangular frame, which have a narrower spacing of apertures for hanging smaller earrings,   said parallel upper and lower extremities being perforated by a plurality of spaced apertures for hanging earrings, wherein the spacing of said apertures is that of the spacing of the apertures for hanging earrings in the two organizational support structures in closest proximity to said upper extremity,   said parallel side supports being perforated by a plurality of spaced apertures such that there are two apertures between each consecutive pair of intersections defined by the connection of either the upper extremity, lower extremity, or any of the organizational support structures to said side supports, wherein said apertures are spaced equidistant from the nearest of said intersections,   a hanging mechanism consisting of a hook having a central axis perpendicular to the minor axis of said rectangular frame and intersecting the center of an arc defining said hook, constructed from the same material as said rectangular frame, and located such that said hanging mechanism is mounted on the upper extremity and the central axis of said hook is in line with the major axis of said rectangular frame.   
     
     
         15 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 (d) a rear flap; and   (e) a lower tray.   
     
     
         16 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , further comprising a counterweight system, wherein said counterweight system comprises a sliding counterweight mounted directly to a lower extremity, and able to slide in a groove. 
     
     
         17 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , further comprising a counterweight system, wherein said counterweight system consists of at least one magnetic weight and a plurality of magnetic strips mounted to said hanging accessory storage system. 
     
     
         18 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , further comprising a counterweight system, wherein said counterweight system comprises a counterweight able to rest in a at least one provided notch in said hanging accessory storage system. 
     
     
         19 . The hanging accessory storage system of  claim 1 , further comprising a counterweight system, wherein said counterweight system comprises a sliding counterweight mounted to a mounting strut affixed to said hanging accessory storage system.
