Contractible storage apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus for storing multiple items or clothing comprises a base vertical support mounted to an existing door or location and a variable vertical support that contracts toward and extends away from the base vertical support. Telescoping units attach between the vertical supports and provide for storage of items. A cord extends the length of the respective telescoping units when such units are completely extended, whereby extending the telescoping units separates supports holding stored items. Attachment means attaching the cord to the storage supports holding stored items cause the storage supports attached to the cord to become spaced apart when the telescoping units are extended. The cord folds when the apparatus contracts and the storage supports move closer in relation to one another.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A contractible storage apparatus comprising:
 a. a base vertical support;   b. a variable vertical support;   c. a telescoping unit having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the telescoping unit is attached to the base vertical support and the second end of the telescoping unit is attached to the variable vertical support;   d. storage supports supported by the telescoping unit; and   e. a cord having a first cord end and a second cord end; and   f. said cord being attached to the storage supports and said first cord end is attached to the base vertical support or the first end of the telescoping unit and said second cord end is attached to the variable vertical support or the second end of the telescoping unit.
