Abstract
The rack is formed by spaced apart upper and lower rack members with a plurality of spaced apart slots formed in the upper member from a front edge and a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed in the lower member with each aperture aligned with a portion of an associated slot. Each slot has an entrance leading to a neck which extends to a bend. The bend leads to a closed end spaced inward from the upper member edge and which is located laterally from the entrance with the distance between the upper member front edge and the closed end being less that the distance between the upper member front edge and the bend. An elastic cord extends across the neck of each slot inward from and parallel to the edge of the upper member at about the position of the closed ends of the slots.
Claims8
A rack for holding an elongated rod, comprising:
- a frame comprising first and second spaced apart members each having an edge facing in a given direction,
- a slot formed in said second member from said edge of said second member,
- said slot having an entrance which leads to a closed end defining a receiving space with said closed end being spaced inward from said edge of said second member and located along a line from said edge of said second member which line is spaced laterally from said entrance such that said slot defines path which has a bend between said entrance and said closed end with the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said closed end being less than the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said bend,
- an aperture formed in said first member in line with said receiving space defined by said closed end, and
- an elastic cord extending along said second member which crosses said slot between said bend and said edge of said second member and which is located near said closed end to allow a portion of the rod to be located in said aperture and a portion of the rod located in said slot and moved around said bend to said closed end and held against said closed end by said cord.
A rack for holding an elongated rod, comprising:
- a frame comprising first and second spaced apart members each having an edge facing in a given direction,
- a plurality of spaced apart slots formed in said second member from said edge of said second member,
- each of said slots having an entrance which leads to a closed end defining a receiving space with said closed end being spaced inward from said edge of said second member and located along a line from said edge of said second member which line is spaced laterally from said entrance such that said slot defines a path which has a bend between said entrance and said closed end with the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said closed end being less than the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said bend,
- a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed in said first member with each of said apertures being separately in line with one of said receiving spaces, and
- an elastic cord extending along said second member which crosses each of said slots between its said bend and said edge of said second member and which is located near its said closed end to allow a portion of a rod to be located in one of said apertures and a portion of the rod located in said slot associated with said one aperture and moved around said bend to said closed end and held against said closed end by said cord.
