Abstract
A stackable and nestable rack including a surface platform, formed of lateral and/or longitudinal wires, a perimeter frame at least formed along the sides of the formed platform, the rods forming the perimeter frame are bent downwardly, into the configuration of legs, and the legs are integrally bent or formed extending outwardly, and incorporate integral transverse rods formed of the feet to provide structure for stacking of two or more racks one upon the other, but with their integral rod formed of the feet assuring that a pair of stacked racks will remain erected, when stacked and assembled. In addition, a pair or more of the racks may be nested, together, into a very snug configuration, when stored. In a modification, the legs may include the protrusions, that bias against the rods forming the sides of the surface platform for a rack, so that the protrusions of the legs may encounter the surface platform, and more particularly its side rods, when a pair or more of the racks of this modified design are stacked one upon the other.
