An implement rack having upper and lower slotted members mounted on a support. The slots are so shaped and disposed as to receive, from the front of the rack, knife blades at off-vertical angles, the knives then resting on the upper member at the bases of their handles and swinging toward vertical positions. Tongues between the members prevent the blades from being withdrawn forwardly from the rack in their vertical or more nearly vertical positions. Such operation of the rack is predicated upon the utilization of knives having their centers of gravity in the blades. The rack also can be used for culinary utensils. The invention further encompasses a unique method of inserting such knives and implements into the rack, of retaining the knives within the rack in a manner which reduces the likelihood of accidental release, and of permitting convenient removal of the knives from the rack. This invention is intended for use as a fixture to be affixed to a vertical surface.

A toy comprising a hollow body member having a plurality of differently configurated openings and a plurality of block members corresponding in cross-sectional configuration to the openings. In a preferred embodiment the hollow body member is formed as two halves joined together by a spring means which permits the member to be 'broken apart' to release the individual pieces. The holes in the hollow body member are located on plane defining portions which are in turn located adjacent curvilinear surface portions of said hollow body member. The block members can be used individually as molds or foodstuff cutters, stacking blocks, etc.

Openable curvilinear openings of different geometrical shapes
