    Abstract: A first in, first out, gravity-feed can organizer is assembled from a plurality of support panels and spacer dowels which interconnect the support panels in a spaced-apart, parallel relationship. Each support panel has right and left faces, and each face is equipped with at least one supply rail which slopes downward from the front to the back of the panel, and a retrieval rail beneath the supply rail, from which it is fed, and which slopes downward from back to front. Two adjacent, spaced-apart support panels provide sets of opposed rails, which form at least one supply track and one retrieval track for storing cans. At least three spacer dowels interconnect each adjacent pair of support panels. The end of each dowel is inserted into an interconnection aperture in a support panel and rotated 90 degrees to lock it in place.
