Abstract
A new storage and dispenser rack is provided for quasi-cylindrical containers such as bottles, wherein the ends of the containers are of different dimension but with a belly portion of the container being substantially of the same size and shape as the large end of the container. The rack is made of molded plastic parts that are constructed and designed to snap together. The rack includes a pair of upright panels that define a bay and provide thereon tiers of tracks, each for supporting one end of the quasi-cylindrical containers. A plurality of transverse spacer shafts that connect with the pair of panels operate to provide a free-standing structural grid for the rack. The spacer shafts are of an axial length selected for the size of the containers to be supported on the rack. An add-on track member is provided for support of quasi-cylindrical containers, with means provided on the underside of the track member arranged for snap-on connection with male snap-on members provided in female sockets provided on, and located intermediate the ends of, the transverse spacer shafts.
