Abstract: A rack comprises at least one wire mesh panel comprising a first array of parallel wires and a second array of parallel wires, the wires of the first and second arrays being in transverse, angular relation and being bonded to each other at at least a substantial number of wire crossing points. The panel defines opposed, parallel side edges which are substantially defined by first individual wires of the first array. Third wires are respectively bonded to the panel and positioned parallel to and adjacent to the first individual wires of the first array. The third wires are spaced from the first individual wires by crossing wires of the second array. A plurality of such wire mesh panels may be secured together at their opposed parallel edges by clamp members to provide a modular rack system. Hanger wires may be carried by clamp members, each end of the hanger wires defining a transversely (upwardly) extending wire portion terminating in a hanger hook so that the rack may be hung from a site above the rack.

The panel defines opposed, parallel side edges which are substantially defined by first individual wires of the first array. Third wires are respectively bonded to the panel and positioned parallel to and adjacent to the first individual wires of the first array. The third wires are spaced from the first individual wires by crossing wires of the second array. Retaining walls are defined by adjacent, upturned end portions of the first array of parallel wires and an end wire interconnecting the end portions, preferably extending from opposite ends of each wire mesh panel. A plurality of such wire mesh panels may be secured together at their opposed parallel edges by clamp members to provide a modular rack system.
