  • Publication number: 20170209888
    Abstract: This invention is a sturdy door rack that can easily be disassembled for shipping and storage and reassembled for use. It comprises stackable blocks that fit over each other in Leggo™ fashion to form supporting columnar stacks each stack supported by a base plate. Each block is configured on its top surface with a groove having a rectangular cross section. A cylindrical anchor inserted inside each groove is screwed into the edge of a door, thereby supporting the door. The rack can be configured with four stacks, thereby supporting the door at four points. The rack can also be configured with two stacks, thereby supporting the door at two points, thereby allowing the door to be easily rotated around an axis defined by these two points. Anchors located between two blocks in a stack are held firmly in place by the blocks, thereby achieving greater mechanical strength.
