Abstract
The invention comprises an article of manfacture made principally of two lengths of chain in which the lengths, arranged either circularly or semi-circularly, have had their links welded together to form a pair of diverging units connected together at their upper ends by welding either to the under side of a top plate or to other connecting elements. Legs have been welded to the bottom portions to support the unit on a floor or other under surface. The units may be utilized to hold a quantity of logs adjacent a fireplace or if of proper size might be used as magazine racks or as holders of any other kind of relatively rigid material that could be placed thereon.
Claims3
An article of manufacture comprising
- a first length of chain in which the links are arranged in a curved pattern and each link has been welded to each next adjacent link to form a first rigid curved chain element,
- a second length of chain in which the links are arranged in a curved pattern and each link has been welded to each next adjacent link to form a second rigid curved chain element,
- means rigidly connecting the said chain elements together at their upper portions to provide a pair of downwardly extending curved chain elements spaced at their lower portions,
- supporting means welded to the lower portions of each chain element adapted to rest on an underlying surface and to maintain said connected curved chain elements in a stable condition on said surface,
- each of said rigid curved chain elements extending through substantially a semi-circle,
- the means rigidly connecting the said chain elements together comprising a pair of rings to which said chain elements are welded.
An article of manufacture comprising,
- a first length of chain in which the links are arranged in a substantially semi-circular planar pattern and each link has been welded to each next adjacent link to form a first rigid curved chain element,
- a second length of chain formed substantially identical to said first length of chain thereby to provide a pair of rigid curved chain elements,
- said first and second rigid curved chain elements being positioned with respect to each other at downwardly diverging angles from a vertical plane located therebetween,
- the upper ends of said first and second chain elements being welded to common connecting means in the form of rings,
- a plurality of supporting members welded to the intermediate portions of said chain elements, said supporting members having their lower ends lying in a common plane that does not intersect said chain elements,
- the aforesaid structure providing a rigid unit in which the semi-circular portions of said first and second chain elements may act as supports for articles placed there across.
