Abstract
An improved rack for holding a plurality of balls in a compact array comprises a plurality of planar support members. These support members are carried on two elongated vertical rods for movement as a unit. The support members have a plurality of ball receiving recesses and can be spaced apart with the balls being received in aligned recesses on adjacent support members. Springs surrounding the rods bear against the support members to force them together to firmly retain the balls in place. However, the support members can be moved against the force of the springs to allow the balls to be placed in or removed from the rack.
