Abstract

Disclosed is a system for storing various bakeware items in an organized and efficient manner. The bakeware caddy may include a short divider orthogonal to a left wall, a right wall, and a bottom surface; and a long divider orthogonal to the short divider and the bottom surface. Accordingly, the caddy may comprise one or more pockets, for example a rear pocket, a left pocket, and a right pocket, formed by disposition of the one or more walls and dividers. A strap may be disposed on the outer circumference of the caddy, the strap comprising one or more ends magnetically engaged. Thus, reversible magnet adherence of the strap ends may enable withdrawal and placement of bakeware items within the caddy. The caddy and the components thereof may be composed of various materials to enable rigidity and support and may be further covered in fabric to prevent damage to the bakeware items.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bakeware storage system comprising:
a caddy comprising:
a left wall, a right wall, a rear wall, a bottom surface, and a front wall, the rear wall forming a first juncture with the left wall and a second juncture with the right wall, both the first juncture connecting the rear wall to the left wall and the second juncture connecting the rear wall to the right wall at an angle between 85 and 95 degrees so that the rear wall is substantially orthogonal to the left and right walls, the front wall forming a third juncture with the left wall and a fourth juncture with the right wall, both the third juncture connecting the front wall to the left wall and the fourth juncture connecting the front wall to the right wall at an angle between 85 and 95 degrees so that the front wall is substantially orthogonal to the left and right walls,
the left wall, the right wall, the rear wall, the bottom surface, and the front wall covered in a fabric covering;

a top gap defined by a first space between a top portion of the left wall and a top portion of the right wall;
a front gap defined by a second space between a proximal end of the left wall and a proximal end of the right wall,
the top gap and the front gap being uniform along a length of the caddy;

a short divider covered in the fabric covering, having a short divider length, the short divider orthogonal to the left wall, the right wall, and the bottom surface,
wherein the short divider length is defined by a first distance between the right wall and the left wall;

a long divider covered in the fabric covering, having a long divider length, the long divider orthogonal to the short divider, the front wall, and the bottom surface,
wherein the long divider length is defined by a second distance between the short divider and the front wall,
wherein the short divider length is less than the long divider length, and
wherein the long divider tapers from the short divider to the front wall;

a left pocket formed by the left wall, long divider, front wall, short divider, and bottom surface, the left pocket being a rectangular cuboid in shape, having five sides, being open to the atmosphere on the remaining side;
a right pocket formed by the right wall, long divider, front wall, short divider, and bottom surface, the left pocket being a rectangular cuboid in shape, having five sides, being open to the atmosphere on the remaining side;
a rear pocket formed by the left wall, the right wall, the bottom surface, the rear wall, and the short divider, the rear pocket being a rectangular cuboid in shape, having five sides, being open to the atmosphere on the remaining side; and
a strap covered in the fabric covering traversing the front gap, the strap comprising:
a first segment,
a first magnet embedded within the first segment,
a second segment,
a second magnet embedded in the second segment,
wherein the first magnet is configured to reversibly adhere to the second magnet across the front gap to enable opening and closing of the strap.

2. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the long divider interfaces with a vertical bisection of the short divider, wherein the left pocket comprises a left pocket volume and the right pocket comprises a right pocket volume, and wherein the left pocket volume and the right pocket volume are equal.

3. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the short divider is disposed in proximity to a distal end of the caddy, wherein the rear pocket comprises a rear pocket volume, and wherein the rear pocket volume comprises no less than 20% of a caddy volume.

4. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the left wall and the right wall comprise a thickness greater than that of the short divider.

5. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , further comprising a rear loop formed by the strap and the rear wall.

6. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the strap is secured, via a plurality of vertical stitches and a plurality of horizontal stitches, to the right wall and the left wall.

7. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the right pocket and the left pocket are greater than 8 inches in length, wherein the rear pocket is greater than 3 inches in length and 5 inches in width.

8. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the long divider and the short divider are removable.

9. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the strap further comprises a plurality of vertical stitches, disposed a distance from the third juncture and the fourth juncture, to anchor the strap to the right wall and the left wall.

10. The bakeware storage system of claim 1 , wherein the fabric covering is waterproof.

11. A bakeware storage system comprising:
a caddy comprising:
a left wall, a right wall, a rear wall, a bottom surface, and a front wall, the rear wall forming a first juncture with the left wall and a second juncture with the right wall, both the first juncture connecting the rear wall to the left wall and the second juncture connecting the rear wall to the right wall at an angle between 85 and 95 degrees so that the rear wall is substantially orthogonal to the left and right walls, the front wall forming a third juncture with the left wall and a fourth juncture with the right wall, both the third juncture connecting the front wall to the left wall and the fourth juncture connecting the front wall to the right wall at an angle between 85 and 95 degrees so that the front wall is substantially orthogonal to the left and right walls,
the left wall, the right wall, the rear wall, bottom surface, and the front wall covered in a fabric covering;

a top gap defined by a first space between a top portion of the left wall and a top portion of the right wall;
a front gap defined by a second space between a proximal end of the left wall and a proximal end of the right wall,
the top gap and the front gap being uniform along a length of the caddy;

a first long divider covered in the fabric covering, having a first long divider length;
a second long divider covered in the fabric covering, having a second long divider length,
wherein the first long divider and the second long divider taper from the rear wall to the front wall, and
wherein the first long divider and the second long divider are orthogonal to the front wall, the rear wall, and the bottom surface,
wherein the first long divider length and the second long divider length are defined by a distance between the front wall and the rear wall;

a left pocket formed by the left wall, the first long divider, the front wall, and the rear wall;
a center pocket formed by the first long divider, the second long divider, front wall, and the rear wall;
a right pocket formed by the second long divider, the right wall, the rear wall, and the front wall; and
a strap covered in the fabric covering traversing the front gap, the strap comprising,
a first segment,
a first magnet embedded within the first segment,
a second segment,
a second magnet embedded in the second segment,
wherein the first magnet is configured to reversibly adhere to the second magnet across the front gap to enable opening and closing of the strap.

12. The bakeware storage system of claim 11 , wherein the first long divider interfaces with a vertical bisection of the rear wall; wherein the second long divider is disposed equidistant between the first long divider and the right wall.

13. The bakeware storage system of claim 11 , wherein the left wall and the right wall comprise a greater thickness than that of the first long divider and the second long divider.
