Abstract

The present invention is directed at the mobile customizable shelf that is comprised of a vertical back shelf surface attached in any manner to the shelf planar surface. The vertical shelf surface and planar surface are both customizable, allowing personal customization of objects, letters, numbers, pictures, etc., to encompass any type of customization. The mobile customizable shelf has holes in the vertical back shelf portion to allow for webbing strap with a plastic adjuster/connector sewn to it to be threaded through, thus allowing the shelf to be attached to any sort of support object—i.e., house column, power pole, swing set support, tree, etc. The mobile customizable shelf does not have any piece or cleat or clamp that digs or cuts into the support, thus allowing it to be used and moved around without causing damage.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION AND CLAIM OF PRIORITY

This application is based on provisional application Ser. No. 63,091,949 filed Oct. 15, 2020, for Michael Alton Moore and Laura Adelle Moore, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference and to which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. 120.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a mobile customizable shelf. While there has been a portable tree shelf previously invented it was not constructed of plastic, also having a vertical back shelf area attached to a planar shelf surface, and customizable in whatever personal way one chooses to do, i.e., customized with a name, saying, word, symbol, etc. The mobile customizable shelf also is unlike other portable shelves because it does not have any area on the back of the shelf that digs into the object it is supported by, allowing it to be used and moved between many types of support objects—i.e., columns of homes, swing set supports, poles, trees, etc., without causing any damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a mobile customizable shelf comprising a vertical back shelf surface attached inferiorly to a planar shelf surface. The vertical back shelf surface has two openings, one on the left lateral side and one on the right lateral side, that allow for a webbing strap, sewn to a strap adjuster, to be pulled, in turn allowing the mobile customizable shelf to be attached to any sort of object or structure—i.e., pole, column, tree, swing set, etc. The posterior side of the vertical portion of the present invention is smooth, allowing it to be used on anything it can be attached to without causing any damage—this in turn makes the mobile customizable shelf able to be used almost anywhere. It should be clear that the vertical back shelf surface along with the planar shelf surface can be customized in any way—with letters, objects, numbers, holes, etc., allowing for personalized customization choices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a mobile customizable shelf. This shelf is made from hard plastic but is not limited to this material, it can be made from varying types of materials that are customizable including wood, metal, other plastics, and all types of material. The vertical back shelf surface will run parallel to the object or structure that the mobile customizable shelf is attached to by the webbing strap and connector.
The vertical back surface has holes on the left and right lateral sides that allow a webbing strap to be run through and behind the vertical portion of the shelf, in turn allowing the shelf to be attached to an object—i.e., pole, tree, column, etc. The strap then has an end that is attached to a plastic strap adjuster/connector, being threaded through one side and out the other, and then sewn upon itself. This secures the shelf and strap to the plastic strap adjuster/connector, allowing it to then be tightened to the object that is supporting the shelf. The planar portion of the shelf has two slightly indented round circular areas, one on the lateral superior left side and one on the lateral superior right side, that allow a cup, juice box, can, bottle, etc. to be placed onto and kept secure. In between these two round circular indentions there is a flat area in the superior side of the shelf that can be used to hold items, such as keys, mobile phone, sunglasses, toys, etc.
The back of the vertical surface of the shelf is smooth and does not have any sort of spike or cleat that would dig into the object it is sitting against, therefore allowing the mobile customizable shelf to be safe for use on all objects with no damage occurring. The inferior posterior edge of the vertical portion of the shelf contains four holes. These four holes go through the entire depth of the inferior portion of the vertical back of the shelf. The four holes align with four holes that are located on the posterior portion of the planar surface of the shelf. The four holes that are located on the posterior portion of the planar surface each contain a heat-set insert of plastics M4×0.7 MM THRD SZ, 7.9 mm installed length. The vertical back surface is then attached to the posterior planar surface with 4 Flat Philips machine M4−0.70×12 inserted through each hole and screwed into the base.

Claims

I claim:

1. a mobile customizable shelf comprising:

a vertical surface that is customizable to allow for customization such as a name, symbol, image, etc.

a planar surface that is customizable and consists of two circular indentations to allow for drinks to be placed securely on the planar surface.

a posterior surface that does not contain any barb or cleat so that the shelf lays flush against the object it is attached as to not cause any damage.

a hole on either lateral side of the vertical surface that allows for a webbing strap to be placed through and subsequently around the object that the shelf is attached to, ultimately being secured with a plastic connector or object of similar function as an adjustor.

2. The mobile customizable shelf of claim 1, wherein the said shelf has 4 holes located in the posterior portion of the planar surface which subsequently line up to 4 holes located on the inferior portion of the vertical surface to allow for 4 screws to be placed through the vertical surface and into the planar surface to allow the said shelf to be held together.

3. The mobile customizable shelf of claim 1, wherein the circular indentations have small holes in the middle to allow for liquids or other moisture to drain through the planar surface.

4. The mobile customizable shelf of claim 1, wherein said shelf is comprised of a PLA polymer but can be produced using any sort of material that allows for the vertical surface and/or planar to be customized.

5. The mobile customizable shelf of claim 1, wherein said shelf can be easily removed from its current object where it is located and moved to another location without causing damage to the objects.
