Aquatic garment care assembly

Abstract

Briefly, apparatuses, assemblies, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be implemented, in whole or in part, for aquatic garment care, such as to facilitate and/or support more effective and/or more efficient liquid removal, aquatic garment drying, and/or aquatic garment storage, for example, among other aspects.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a receptacle having a substantially continuous sidewall;   a receiving portion positioned within the receptacle and having a surface area to support at least an aquatic garment;   one or more support members coupled to the receiving portion to adjust the surface area relative to liquid to be expelled from the aquatic garment;   a drainage portion at least partially integrated with a platform; and   a reservoir portion proximate to the drainage portion and having a volume sufficient to retain the liquid to be expelled from the aquatic garment.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , and further comprising an anti-slip coating on the surface area. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more ribs. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more pillars. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members are connected to the receiving portion via one or more joints having arcuate profiles. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more channels to connect one or more neighboring regions of the reservoir portion. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members comprise an array to elevate the surface area. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the drainage portion comprises an array of one or more interstitial voids passing through the receiving portion and are in fluid communication with the reservoir portion. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the receiving portion is to at least partially correspond to a perimeter of the substantially continuous sidewall of the receptacle. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion comprises a flange, the flange comprising a perimeter to conform, at least in part, to the substantially continuous sidewall of the receptacle. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more support members comprises a mating-type structure to couple to an extension receiving portion. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , and further comprising a lid to fit the receptacle, the lid comprising a storage member. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the lid comprises a drain portion. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , and further comprising a storage member coupled to an outer sidewall of the substantially continuous sidewall of the receptacle. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a receiving portion of a receptacle, the receiving portion having a substantially continuous sidewall and positioned within the receptacle, the receiving portion to support at least an aquatic garment;   one or more support members coupled to the receiving portion to adjust a surface area relative to liquid to be expelled from the aquatic garment;   a platform;   a drainage portion at least partially integrated with the platform; and   a reservoir portion proximate to the drainage portion and having a volume sufficient to contain the liquid to be expelled from the aquatic garment.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , and further comprising an anti-slip coating substantially placed on the surface area. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more ribs. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more pillars. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more support members are connected to the receiving portion via respective joints having arcuate profiles. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more support members comprise one or more channels to connect one or more neighboring regions of the reservoir portion. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more support members comprise an array to elevate the surface area. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the drainage portion comprises an array of one or more interstitial voids passing through the receiving portion and are in fluid communication with the reservoir portion. 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein a perimeter of the receiving portion is to at least partially correspond to a perimeter of the substantially continuous sidewall of the receptacle. 
     
     
         24 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the receiving portion comprises a flange, the flange comprising a perimeter to conform, at least in part, to the substantially continuous sidewall of the receptacle. 
     
     
         25 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the one or more support members comprises a mating structure to couple to an extension receiving portion.
