Toy organizer pole

Abstract

A support pole holds and organizes a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and types of toys in a vertical array. Two vertical shaft sections screw together to form a vertical pole with elasticized loops attached along the length of the pole in four vertical arrays at cardinal points around the pole. Four triangular support brackets act as legs screwed onto the bottom of the pole at cardinal points aligned with the loop arrays. Each of two opposing pairs of triangular support brackets are screwed onto the pole with the same pair of screws. The support pole may be can be knocked down for compact shipping and storage.

1 . A support pole device for holding and organizing a number of toys in a vertical array, the device comprising:
 a vertical pole comprising a rigid shaft with a series of elasticized loops attached in a spaced array by a means for permanently attaching the elasticized loops to the vertical pole around a perimeter of the pole along the length of the pole and a portion of the pole adjacent to a bottom of the pole having a plurality of pairs of holes transversely through the pole;   a plurality of triangulated support brackets attached to the pole adjacent to the bottom of the pole by a plurality of elongated fasteners through the support brackets and through the pairs of holes to secure the support brackets to the pole to maintain the pole in a vertical upright position on a level surface.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the means for permanently attaching the elasticized loops to the vertical pole comprises a rivet through each of the elasticized loops into the pole. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein four triangulated support brackets are attached to the pole at cardinal points around the pole and the elasticized loops are attached to the pole in four spaced vertically arrays positioned at cardinal points around the pole aligned with the four triangulated support brackets to maintain the balance of the pole in a vertical position with the elasticized loops fully loaded. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the pole has two pairs of holes transversely through the pole, each pair of holes orthogonal to the other pair of holes and spaced apart vertically on the pole and a pair of support brackets attached on each of two orthogonal sides of the pole aligned with one of the pair of holes so that a single pair of elongated fasteners passes through both support brackets of each pair of support brackets and through one of the pair of holes to attach each pair of support brackets to the pole. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the vertical pole comprises two sections of pole interconnected by a threaded coupling to form the rigid shaft which may be disassembled for storage and transport. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the elasticized loops are each formed from a strip of elasticized material having a high elasticity so that the loop can expand to encompass a wide range of sizes of toys secured to the pole by the loop.
