Abstract: A portable rack sized to fit in the trunk of a car has a back, base, sides and several partitions forming compartments for minimizing the movement of articles placed therein while being transported in a vehicle between point of purchase and point of utilization. All connections between the wire-form or rod-form parts of the rack are hinged so that when not in use or when packaged for shipment or sale the rack can be folded into a compact flat break-down configuration.
