BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]Individuals need a number of products when tending to tasks and chores in the kitchen. Many keep a dish sponge, brushes, soap, plants, and other necessary items around the sink. This clutter can cause confusion, never mind the fact it is unsightly. A method for keeping items conveniently situated in an easy to access manner would be appreciated.

[0002]I got my idea to make my `Kitchen Sink Shelf Helper` when I got home from visiting my son and daughter-in-law's home back in 1997. In their home they have a window in their kitchen that extends out above their sink about 2 or so feet. It has 2 shelves on it. This make it handy for them to put sponges, small brushes in a basket, long handled brushes, soap, and several plants on the shelves. One day I was out at Home Depot looking around, and I came upon their vinyl white wire shelving, and my mind got to working about my sink shelf. The only thing they didn't have was a six inch piece in width on display. I asked the clerk if they had anything in six inch width? The clerk said no, that the companies do not make anything in that width. So I looked their 12 inch width piece over and I noticed that the support wire down the middle was the same diameter as the outside support wire, and measured six inches from the outside of the main support wire to the outside of the middle wire, I can cut down the outside of the middle wire. Then I will have a six inch piece in width which is what I want to make my shelf that will set on the back side and over the faucet on the sink.
