Abstract:
1. A magnetic storage device capable of retaining a plurality of products, each product having a magnetic affinity, said magnetic storage device comprising: a) a tray having a lower surface having a hollow area, an upper surface, and a longitudinal central axis, said upper surface having a plateau with an outer periphery and an upwardly extending member located completely within said outer periphery, said upwardly extending member rising upward above said plateau and having at least two cavities formed therein which are aligned along said longitudinal central axis, each of said cavities extending downward towards said lower surface, and each of said cavities having a configuration which enables one of the plurality of products to be at least partially retained therein; b) a base having a lower surface and an upper surface, at least a portion of said upper surface of said base engaging with said tray to completely enclose said hollow area; and c) a magnetic member positioned within said hollow area, said magnetic member exerting a sufficient magnetic attraction on the plurality of products when each is inserted into one of said cavities to temporarily retain the plurality of products therein, and said magnetic member exerting a sufficient magnetic attraction through said lower surface of said base to releasably attach said magnetic storage device to a magnetically attractive surface.
