Universal support hook
A universal support hook includes an elongated pin having a plurality of juxtaposed hangers rotatably mounted thereon. Each hanger includes a C-shaped gripping member with a hinge barrel at an upper end thereof. The hinge barrel includes a central, transverse bore that receives the pin to allow the hanger to freely rotate within a 360-degree range. When any desired number of hangers are raised to a vertical position, their C-shaped gripping members can be secured to a tubular or thin support structure, such as a passenger-seat tray, a closet rod, a chair frame or a shopping-cart handle. The remaining hangers freely hang from the pin to provide a hook for suspending handbags, jewelry items, garments and other similar personal items from the support structure.
Portable pocket
A pocket attachable to a pillow case or in the vicinity of a place of rest is convenient for keeping small electronic devices close to a user's head and hands so that the device can be used or kept close by while resting with a pillow. The bottom of the pocket includes an aperture so that a charging or data cable may be attached to the device in the pocket. By inserting a finger in that aperture the device may be easily displaced from below and removed from the pocket. The invention is useful for users who wish to durably affix a pocket to a pillow case or anywhere in the vicinity of a place of rest without resorting to sewing or home improvement skills and tools or machines which they may not possess nor desire to own.
Cabinet system
According to one embodiment, a system includes a cabinet and an apparatus. The cabinet includes a cabinet housing, a door coupled to the cabinet housing to form a cabinet storage compartment, and a support member mounted in the cabinet storage compartment, the support member having a front surface having a first mounting element. The apparatus has a second mounting element and a locking element. The locking element is alterable between: (1) an unlocked state in which the second mounting element of the apparatus can be coupled and decoupled from the first mounting element of the support member of the cabinet; and (2) a locked state in which the second mounting element of the apparatus is prohibited from being decoupled from the first mounting element of the support member.

Organizing device with flexible ties
An organizing device with rubberized twist ties. The organizing device includes a body piece and a back piece designed such that the back piece fits into the body piece to form an enclosed unit. The back piece can be fitted with various attachment devices, such as a suction cup or a magnet, for mounting the organizing device to different types of surfaces. The organizing device further includes small rubberized twist ties, threaded through the body piece, which can be used for hanging or securing small items from or securing items to the device.

HOOK FOR SUSPENDING ITEMS
A ligature resistant hook for supporting a personal article from a wall or door or other vertical support surface. The hook includes a pivot arm that is biased into a retracted, substantially vertical position and moveable between the retracted position, an over-extended positon and an extended position located between the retracted and over-extended positions. The pivot arm is biased so as to prevent movement of the pivot arm into the over-extended position until exceeding a threshold weight applied to the pivot arm.
