Abstract
A dish assembly includes a pair of folding panels having a preset angular relationship, the panels also including plate holding unit structures that are linearly offset along the rising extent of the structure, for greater single object support stability. The panels are hinged at one or more points more closely adjacent lateral support structure on adjacent the plate holding unit structure openings. The panels fold for flat storage, or open to form a stable angled structure with the angular degree of open deployment stabilized by any method, including a limiting hinge, a guide base, or other structure.
Claims18
A panel opening useful to support in a cantilevered manner at least one dish, comprising:
- at least one slot opening is formed in at least one vertical member, said slot opening having an upper curved surface and a substantially straight lower surface, said upper curved surface having at least a portion of which is a segment of an arc, said upper curved surface located opposite said substantially straight lower surface, said substantially straight lower surface having a length, said upper curved surface having a height from a top end thereof to said substantially straight lower surface, said length is divided by said height to produce a constant, said constant having a value of between 1.3 to 5.0, wherein a suitable length is chosen, said height is calculated by dividing said length by said constant;
- and
- a radius of said upper curved surface is generated by squaring said constant, an integer having a value of one is added to said squared constant to provide a constant product, said constant product is multiplied by said height and divided by the integer two, an axis of said radius is located on the same line as said height, wherein said slot is used to support at least one dish in a cantilevered manner.
