Bathroom accessory holder and method therefor

Abstract

A bathroom accessory holder and method therefor, comprising a base member adapted to be suction-coupled to a surface, and a bathroom accessory handle receiving member having a cavity capable of retaining the bottom handle portion of a bathroom accessory, such as a toothbrush, securely in a perpendicular direction relative to a substantially planar surface.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A bathroom accessory holder comprising in combination: 
 a base member having a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, said concave inner surface adapted to be suction-coupled to a substantially planar surface; and    a bathroom accessory handle receiving member coupled perpendicularly to said convex outer surface of said base member, said bathroom accessory handle receiving member defines a cavity dimensioned to retain a bottom handle portion of a bathroom accessory by frictional engagement so that said bathroom accessory extends substantially perpendicular to said substantially planar surface, said base member and said bathroom accessory handle receiving member forming a one-piece assembly.    
     
     
         2 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  wherein said cavity being substantially cylindrical.  
     
     
         3 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 2  wherein said substantially cylindrical cavity being approximately 1.5 centimeters in depth.  
     
     
         4 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 2  wherein said substantially cylindrical cavity comprises a rim having a thickness of approximately 2 millimeters.  
     
     
         5 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  wherein said base member being approximately 3 centimeters in diameter.  
     
     
         6 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  wherein said base member is constructed of rubber.  
     
     
         7 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  wherein said base member is constructed of pliable plastic.  
     
     
         8 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  wherein said cavity has an inner diameter of approximately 1 centimeter.  
     
     
         9 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 1  further comprising a bathroom accessory.  
     
     
         10 . The bathroom accessory holder of  claim 9  wherein said bathroom accessory is a toothbrush.  
     
     
         11 . A method for holding a bathroom accessory comprising, in combination, the steps of: 
 providing a base member having a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface;    providing a bathroom accessory handle receiving member coupled perpendicularly to said convex outer surface of said base member, said bathroom accessory handle receiving member defines a cavity dimensioned to retain a bottom handle portion of a bathroom accessory by frictional engagement so that said bathroom accessory extends substantially perpendicular to a substantially planar surface, said base member and said bathroom accessory handle receiving member forming a one-piece assembly;    suction-coupling said concave inner surface of said base member to said substantially planar surface; and    inserting said bathroom accessory handle into said bathroom accessory handle receiving member.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cavity being substantially cylindrical.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said substantially cylindrical cavity being approximately 1.5 centimeters in depth.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said substantially cylindrical cavity comprises a rim having a thickness of approximately 2 millimeters.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said base member being approximately 3 centimeters in diameter.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said base member is constructed of rubber.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said base member is constructed of pliable plastic.  
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cavity has an inner diameter of approximately 1 centimeter.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of providing a bathroom accessory.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein said bathroom accessory is a toothbrush.
