  • Patent number: 6193081
    Abstract: A holder for cylindrical articles is provided that comprises an open frame design. The slanted, article supporting base extends somewhat further than the length of the articles to be stored allowing for the retention of potential spillage of material from the articles while in an upright position. Attached to the base are two side panels. The first side panel includes a slot for permitting the inserting and withdrawing of articles that are stacked upon the base. Additionally, the first side panel may contain a means of closure such as a gate to insure retention of the articles in the holder regardless of the position of the holder. The opposing side panel has a smaller slot to receive the narrow end of the articles that are inserted into the holder thereby retaining the articles, and, with the assistance of the slanted base, effectively sliding the articles toward this second panel.
