  • Patent number: 4403701
    Abstract: A rack consists of plural sections including at least one section having square tubing vertical corner posts and horizontal shelves secured to the posts. Beneath each shelf are guides which grip the top longitudinal edge wires of conventional locker baskets in such manner that the baskets may be slid rearward from the front of the rack and secured against vertical or transverse displacement by pairs of guides. The shelving has a downturned rear flange, which limits rearward sliding of the baskets, and an upturned front flange having rings which may be padlocked to corresponding rings on the baskets. Sections of rack may be assembled by inserting smaller square tubing pieces into the tops and bottoms of the posts of the sections. A coat rack section may be attached to a rack section in similar telescopic fashion. Such coat rack section preferably has a transverse bar at the rear with at least one horizontal bar extending forward from the transverse bar.

  • Patent number: 4220245
    Abstract: A rectangular frame formed of spaced-apart, parallel metal rods with a plurality of vertical compartments open along the front, each compartment adapted to hold horizontally disposed and vertically stacked wine bottles. A metal restraining rod extends horizontally across the open front of the frame slightly above the bottom thereof, for restraining and tilting upward the lowermost bottles in each stack, to thereby tilt the entire stack and prevent any of the bottles from sliding out. Four hollow metal tubes are vertically disposed along the edges of the frame, the lower ends of each tube having reduced cross-sectional portions so they can be inserted into the upper ends of a similar rack, to increase the height of the rack or for stacking purposes.
