Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shower caddy comprising:
 a clamp assembly including a generally U-shaped first portion configured to be positioned on a pipe, a fastener configured to restrict movement of the first portion with respect to the pipe, and a second generally U-shaped portion having first and second ends, each pivotally coupled to the first portion; and   a shelf assembly coupled to the second portion of the clamp assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a resilient material positioned along an internal surface of the first portion.   
     
     
         3 . The shower caddy of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the fastener secures the resilient material to the pipe.   
     
     
         4 . The shower caddy of  claim 2 , wherein the resilient material comprises:
 a rubber layer.   
     
     
         5 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion further comprises:
 a first pin extending from a end of the first portion and a second pin extending from a second end of the first portion; and   wherein the second portion includes a first slot configured to receive the first pin and a second slot configured to receive the second pin.   
     
     
         6 . The shower caddy of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second slots are angled upward such that when the clamp assembly is mounted on a pipe, the pins are positioned at an end of the slots. 
     
     
         7 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf assembly is coupled to the second generally U-shaped member. 
     
     
         8 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a rubber tipped screw. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion can pivot in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of the first portion. 
     
     
         11 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf assembly comprises:
 a rod; and   a plurality of baskets coupled to the rod.   
     
     
         12 . The shower caddy of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf assembly comprises:
 first and second wires; and   a plurality of baskets coupled to the first and second wires.   
     
     
         13 . A clamp assembly configured to be mounted to a pipe, the clamp assembly comprising:
 a first generally U-shaped portion configured to be positioned on a pipe, a fastener configured to restrict movement of the first portion with respect to the pipe, and a second generally U-shaped portion having first and second ends, each pivotally coupled to the first portion, wherein the second portion can pivot in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of the first portion.   
     
     
         14 . The clamp assembly of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a resilient material positioned along an internal surface of the first portion.   
     
     
         15 . The clamp assembly of  claim 14 , wherein:
 the fastener secures the resilient material to the pipe.   
     
     
         16 . The clamp assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the resilient material comprises:
 a rubber layer.   
     
     
         17 . The clamp assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the first portion further comprises:
 a first pin extending from a first end of the first portion and a second s in extending from a second end of the first portion; and   wherein the second portion includes a first slot configured to receive the first pin and a second slot configured to receive the second pin.   
     
     
         18 . The clamp assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the first and second slots are angled upward such that when the clamp assembly is mounted on a pipe, the pins are positioned at an end of the slots. 
     
     
         19 . The clamp assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the fastener comprises a rubber tipped screw. 
     
     
         20 . (canceled)
