  • 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.
