  • Patent number: 4494788
    Abstract: A hand portable bottle rack for carrying and storing narrow-necked bottles includes a generally vertically oriented front panel having a plurality of openings therein, and a generally vertically oriented divider panel attached to the front panel to be perpendicular therewith. The openings in the front panel are positioned on each side of the joint of the divider panel and front panel. Below and toward the outside edge of each hole is a support peg which extends rearwardly of the front panel and generally parallel to the divider panel. The pegs are spaced from the divider panel a distance less than the diameter of the bottles to be supported. The openings in the front panel are of sufficient size to receive the necks of bottles so that when the neck of a bottle is inserted into an opening, the body of the bottle rests upon a corresponding peg and against the divider panel.

  • Patent number: 4482065
    Abstract: A bottle rack for compactly storing and displaying narrow-neck bottles in an easily accessible manner. An upright panel has a plurality of holes passing therethrough. The holes are sized to receive the neck of a bottle inserted therein. Below each hole is a pair of spaced-apart support pegs that transversely protrude out from the panel so as to support the weight of the bottle. The support pegs are spaced apart a distance less than the body diameter of the smallest bottle to be stored or displayed in the rack. The holes are spaced apart approximately the same distance as the largest diameter of the bottle bodies. The holes are also arranged in a desired pattern, such as rows and columns, so that the bottles may be stored in an orderly fashion. In one embodiment, the support pegs protrude out from both sides of the panel and, accordingly, bottles may be inserted into the rack from either side of the panel.
