Abstract
A shelving system can include adjustable shelves. The shelves can be adjustable in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The shower organizer can have a hinged clamp which can include a tapered gasket configured to secure the shelving system to a shower head pipe. The shelving system can be further fitted with a suction cup attached to its lower end to further secure the organizer to a wall. The suction cup can be rotatably mounted to the lower end of the shower organizer so that the position of the suction cup may be adjusted such that the suction cup is positioned over a flat surface.

23. A shower caddy comprising:
-
an elongated central support member defining a longitudinal axis, the central support member having an I-shaped cross section comprising at least a first flange with first and second lateral edges; at least first and second shelves, each of the first and second shelves having at least first and second cross members extending generally laterally across the respective shelves; at least first and second clamp mechanisms releasably connecting the first and second shelves, respectively, to the central support member, each of the first and second clamp mechanisms comprising a clamp body defining first and second hooks configured to engage the first and second lateral edges of the first flange, a clamp plate disposed at least partially in the clamp body and configured to rest against the first and second cross members, and a level member having a cam, the lever member being configured to pivot between locked and unlocked positions, wherein in the locked position, the cam presses the clamp plate against the cross members and causes the first and second hooks to press against the first and second lateral edges, respectively, with sufficient force to support the weight of the shelf, a first connector device disposed at an upper end of the central support member, the first connector having a first portion fixed to the upper end of the support and a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion so as to be pivotable between open and closed positions, the first and second portions defining an aperture configured to fit around a shower head pipe when in the closed position; and a second connector device comprising a suction cup pivotally mounted to a lower end of the central support member so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
