Abstract
The rack has wire shelves that slide into grooves moulded into the side walls of a plastic body. The free-standing body is hollow, and is formed by rotation-moulding. The body is a very rigid structure, easily able to withstand the usual abuse of a public sales-location. The side-walls extend only half way along the shelves, leaving half the shelves protruding from the side walls, and as a result, although the rack is strong and substantial, the rack is attractive in appearance, and the newspapers are presented for sale in an accessible manner. Notches in the grooves comprise detents whereby the shelves are retained in the grooves.
