Abstract
A collapsible foldable rack includes left and right scissors-type frames with dowel rods extending between the scissors-type frames. The dowel rods are attached to inner arms of the scissors-type frame by brackets that allow the rods to rotate relative to the frame. The brackets on one side of the frame allow the rods to rotate in one direction, whereas the brackets on the opposite frame member allow the rods to rotate in the opposite direction. The brackets also space the rods relative to each other to prevent adjacent rods from interfering with each other when the structure is folded. The device both collapses into a rectangular structure and then folds upon itself to provide a very compact structure for storage and reduce freight costs.
