Furniture accessory storage system with height adjustment mechanism

Abstract

A furniture accessory storage system includes an outer basket receptacle, an inner basket liner, and a support extension piece that is configured to selectably couple with the outer basket receptacle and provide adjustable support by holding the system in place adjacent to the interstitial space of a furniture item. The furniture accessory storage system is useful for storing and organizing commonly used household accessories near a bedside, living room couch, or other furniture item. An adjustable riser allows the receptacle to be selectively elevated in relation to the support. A pivoting locking pawl engages a vertical-strung gear-rack, such that to adjust elevation, a user manually withdraws the pawl, lifts or lowers the receptacle, and reengages the pawl with the gear-rack.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . An adjustable furniture accessory storage system, the system comprising:
 a receptacle having
 a rectangular outer sidewall defining a rectangular inner volume, 
 a first tongued track, 
 a second tongued track parallel to the first tongued track, and 
 a geared-rack disposed between the first tongued rack and the second tongued track; 
   an inner basket liner insertable into the rectangular inner volume of the receptacle; and   a mount having
 a panel, 
 a riser affixed to the panel at an angle between sixty and one-hundred and twenty degrees, the riser having a first-edge engagable with the first tongued track and a second-edge engagable with the second tongued track, the first-edge and the second-edge being parallel to each other, such that the riser rides between the first tongued track and the second tongued track, 
 an indexer pivotably connected to the riser, the indexer including
 a tooth able to engage the geared-rack when the indexer is pivoted towards the geared-rack, and 
 a lever rigidly affixed to the tooth and able to rotate the indexer about the pivot-axis when manually manipulated by a user. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The adjustable furniture accessory storage system of  claim 1 , wherein the inner basket liner further comprises
 an underside including
 a belly able to nest within the rectangular inner volume of the receptacle, 
 a first-rectangular channel having a first-aperture, and 
 a second-rectangular channel having a second-aperture; 
   an upperside opposite the underside, the upperside including
 a length separating a bottom-edge and a top-edge, 
 a width separating a right-side and a left-side, 
 an outer-sidewall bounding the upperside, 
 a first-longitudinal subcompartment along the right-side, 
 a second-longitudinal subcompartment along the left-side, the second-longitudinal subcompartment paralleling and mirroring the first-longitudinal subcompartment, 
 a circular cupholder disposed proximally to the bottom-edge and between the first-longitudinal subcompartment and the second-longitudinal subcompartment, 
 a third-longitudinal subcompartment disposed between the circular cupholder and the top-edge, and 
 a fourth-longitudinal subcompartment disposed between the circular cupholder and the top-edge, 
 wherein the first-longitudinal subcompartment, the second-longitudinal subcompartment, the third-longitudinal subcompartment, and the fourth-longitudinal subcompartment are each rectangular in shape and each are parallel to each other; and 
   a perimeter-lip delineating where the underside and the upperside meet, the perimeter-lip extending outwardly from the upperside and able to nest over the rectangular outer sidewall of the receptacle.
