Abstract
An adjustable rack is provided which comprises a plurality of hook members for hanging articles attached to a jointed frame comprised of members which are pivotably attached to one another by pin joints. The pin joints comprise elements which are integral with the members. The hook members additionally serve as a component of the pin joints. The aforementioned construction results in an inexpensive adjustable rack which can be advantageously formed from injection molded plastic and which can be assembled in a short amount of time without the use of special tools.
