Abstract: A rack for positioning food slabs in a horizontal cooking area such as over a grill includes a rectangular frame which carries a plurality of bent rod food slab supports at a rearward tilt. Each support includes a pair of outer risers having interned lower ends. The outer risers extend over opposite sides of the frame, with the interned ends extending through apertures in the frame sides. Between the outer risers, the rod is bent in a digital waveform and includes forwardly extending lower cradle having upwardly sloped shoulders for engaging the bottom of a food slab. Notches are provided in the upper edge of the frame sides forwardly of each aperture and a notch engaging post extends from the cradle shoulders which are adjacent each outer riser. The ends of the frame are lapped and hinged, so that the frame may be folded along a longitudinal axis for compact storage, with the slab supports nested within the folded frame.

Abstract: A foldable support system includes a sheet metal flange depending from a table and a sheet metal leg. A pivot pin extends through a slot in the flange and an aperture in the leg so that the leg may rotate and slide relative to the flange. The flange includes a bent tab which extends toward and beyond the leg and the leg includes an arcuate cut out channel having a mouth at a side edge of the leg and a cut out receptacle at its inner end. The bent tab is received in the receptacle to lock the leg in an unfolded position when the pivot pin is at the top of the slot, while the bent tab is within the channel to permit the leg to be rotated to a folded position, when the pivot pin is at the bottom of the channel.
