DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] While several variations of the present invention have been illustrated by way of example in particular embodiments, it is apparent that further embodiments could be developed within the spirit and scope of the present invention. However, it is to be expressly understood that such modifications and adaptations are within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and are inclusive, but not limited to the following appended claims as set forth.

[0029] As illustrated in FIGS. 1-4, the subject invention discloses the Store-A-Roll™ decorative hanging toilet paper holder 1 and storage unit. The holder 1 is elongated, vertical housing 2 composed of a soft, lightweight fabric. The housing 2 contains three or four open pockets 3 for individually storing three to four rolls 4 of toilet paper in an easily accessed, yet out-of-the-way, soft, and attractive hanging unit. The holder 1 contains a loop 5 for hanging the holder 1 on any vertical surface protrusion, such as rack, anchor, hook, or nail.

[0030] In other embodiments of the subject invention, the holder 1 may have more than five to ten pockets 3, each pocket 3 capable of receiving and holding an individual roll of toilet paper.

[0031] A user may access and retrieve toilet paper rolls 4 through the pocket 3 openings of the holder 1. To restock the holder 1 a user may slide additional toilet paper rolls 4 into the pocket 3 openings.

[0032] In embodiments of the subject invention, the holder 1 may be composed of chenille fabric, shaggy materials, fur, leather, wood, steel, or plastic. In further embodiments of the subject invention, the Store-A-Roll holder 1 may be 24 to 36 inches in length and 8 inches.

[0033] The edges of these each pocket 3 are lined for a smooth finish. The bottom portion of the holder may feature several decorative tassels 6 lined in a row as an embellishment. The top loop 5 allows the Store-A-Roll holder 1 to be hung anywhere—on the wall or behind a bathroom door.

[0034] The Store-A-Roll holder 1 can be used for bathrooms, home, office, lodging facilities, and more. The holder 1 is easily maintained and machine washable. The holder 1 can save consumers money by storing extra rolls 4 of toilet paper in the dry holder 1 away from water which can ruin toilet paper rolls, especially when normally stored under the sink where leaks can occur and space is limited.

[0035] The Store-A-Roll holder 1 is available in a variety of colors or printed patterns to match any bathroom décor and adapted according to the taste and style of the end-user or a particular desired combination.
