Abstract
Disclosed is a stroage rack system for cylindrical cans which has a limted number of standardized component parts that allow assembly into a rack of any capacity desired. There are at least two rectangular panels each of which in its disassembled state has both of its major surfaces grooved with mortises. Flexible elongated moldings have tenon portions which are insertable in the panel mortises to form can-supporting rails. The assembled rack includes at least two upright panels, horizontally spaced apart and laterally aligned, with horizontally extending rod connectors supporting the panels in their spaced relationship. Shorter pairs of the flexible moldings are inserted in mortises of the upright panels to form short rail pairs and, similarly, longer pairs of the flexible moldings are inserted in the upright panels to form longer rail pairs, which longer and shorter rail pairs cooperate to provide a serpentine, downward passage for a cylindrical can placed on a shorter rail pair at the uppermost location of a shorter rail pair. Suitable stop means are provided at the front of the lowermost longer rail pair to retain cans in the rack, but the lowermost can may be readily lifted out as required.
