Spice rack and bracket assembly

Abstract

A spice rack and bracket assembly whose rack is adapted to hold an array of bottles containing different spices and whose bracket is selectively adapted to support the rack in any one of these modes, whereby one may hang the rack on a wall, or cause it to lie flat on a counter or to stand thereon. The rack is constituted by a staircase frame having a series of steps, each formed by a landing and a wall normal thereto, the step landing having a row of semi-circular notches therein, each of which lies in registration with a row of semi-circular wells projecting rearwardly from the associated wall to define one half of a bottle-receiving socket which is completed by a semi-circular shield projecting forwardly from the wall. The uppermost landing and lowermost wall of the frame are provided with slots which cooperate with tongues formed on the triangular sides of the bracket to support the rack in any desired mode.
