Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holder, and more specifically to a rotatable holder which includes orifices in a variety of sizes that may be used to support one or more objects having a variety of sizes.
  • some holders are sized to hold one type of item, such as writing utensils, test tubes, and other such devices. This is problematic, since sometimes a user would desire that the holder be sized to hold a variety of items having various sizes. Additionally, other times a user would like to hold more items of a first size and fewer items of a second size than the holder is typically configured to hold.
  • a rotatable holder includes a plurality of sections rotatably coupled with each other along respective end sides of each section.
  • each section has a plurality of peripheral sides. Additionally, at least one of the peripheral sides forms an orifice for receiving an object.
  • a rotatable holder has first and second sections. The first section has a plurality of first peripheral sides connected to each other and first and second end sides, each end side formed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to the plurality of first peripheral sides.
  • a rotatable holder including a first section has at least four first peripheral sides connected to each other, each peripheral side formed in its own plane which is generally perpendicular to the planes of adjoining sides.
  • the first section has first and second end sides which are generally square in shape, each end side formed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to the plurality of first peripheral sides.
  • the rotatable holder also includes a second section having at least four first peripheral sides connected to each other, each peripheral side formed in its own plane which is generally perpendicular to the planes of adjoining sides.
  • the second section has third and fourth end sides which are generally square in shape, each end side formed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to the plurality of second peripheral sides.
  • the first section includes a reinforcement wall extending between opposite first peripheral sides of the first section and spaced from the other first peripheral sides.
  • a rotational protrusion is connected along an approximate center of an edge of the reinforcement wall. The rotational protrusion couples with a cavity formed in one end side of the first section. At least one of the peripheral sides forms an orifice for receiving an object.
  • Fig. 1 is a right-front isometric view of a rotatable holder.
  • Fig. IA is an isometric view of a section of Fig. 1.
  • the holder includes orifices in a variety of sizes that may be used to support one or more objects having a variety of sizes.
  • the orifices may hold pencils, pens and other writing instruments.
  • the orifices may support vials of different sizes. These vials may include test tubes and other vessels capable of holding liquids.
  • the vials may hold water so that fresh flowers may be supported and displayed.
  • the sections of the holder rotate to provide access to orifices of different sizes, provide the holder with greater stability, and arrange the manner and orientation with which the holder may display and/or hold items.
  • Orifices 113 are the largest, with the remaining orifices descending in size in the following order: 119, 117, and 115.
  • any individual or combination of orifices may include threads to accommodate rings or other structures with corresponding and opposite threads.
  • the shape, number, size and arrangement of the orifices on each side of each section 110, 130, 150, 170 are the same, the shape, number, size, and arrangement of the orifices may vary on a single side, or from side to side, or from section to section.
  • Sections 130, 150 and 170 are virtually identical in shape to section 110, and number, size, shape and arrangement of the orifices are also identical to section 110.
  • the sections 110, 130, 150, 170 may be of different shapes and have differing numbers of sides, individually or in any combination.
  • FIG. 2 the entire rotatable holder 100 has been rotated from its position in Fig. 1 so that the end side 180 of section 170 is shown.
  • the sections 110, 130, 150 and 170 are individually rotatable.
  • sections 110, 130, and 150 have been rotated individually from their positions in Fig. 1 around the horizontal axis A (or vertical axis if the rotatable holder 100 is in a vertical orientation) that extends longitudinally through the rotatable holder 100 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
  • Fig. 1 the horizontal axis A (or vertical axis if the rotatable holder 100 is in a vertical orientation) that extends longitudinally through the rotatable holder 100 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
  • Sections 110, 130, 150, 170 may be separate pieces that are coupled together using a coupling member to form the rotatable holder 100. hi order to couple two adjoining sections 110, 130, 150, 170 to each other, at least one of the adjoining sections 110, 130, 150, 170 includes a coupling member.
  • the coupling member may be any device used to couple two adjoining sections 110, 130, 150, 170 to each other, and includes devices such as, snap-fit members, VELCROTM, nails, glue, magnets, clamps, and screws.
  • the rotational protrusion 147 couples with a cavity 162 in the end side 160 of section 150 for example, in a snap-fit or frictional engagement.
  • the rotational protrusion 147 of section 130 and the cavity 162 of section 150 are each shown in Fig. 3 as having a generally cylindrical shape, the rotational protrusion 147 and the cavity 162 may include any shape that allows sections 130 and 150 to be fixedly or removably and rotatably coupled together.
  • rotational protrusion 147 of section 130 and the cavity 162 of section 150 may be replaced with a pair of magnets.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un support rotatif qui comprend une première et une seconde section. La première section comprend une pluralité de premières faces périphériques reliées mutuellement, et une première et une seconde face d'extrémité, chaque face d'extrémité étant formée dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à la pluralité de premières faces périphériques. La seconde section comprend une pluralité de seconde faces périphériques reliées mutuellement et une troisième et une quatrième face terminale, chaque face terminal étant formée dans un plan qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la première et à la seconde face périphérique. La première et la seconde section sont assemblées de manière rotative l'une à l'autre le long des bords terminaux correspondants de chaque section. Au moins une des faces périphériques forme un orifice permettant le passage d'un objet.
