Three axis corner bracket

A corner bracket for use as a part of a support system wherein a plurality of said brackets is used in combination with connecting members to complete said system, said corner bracket comprising:

• a first substantially planar wall portion defining a first opening lying within a first plane, said first opening being suitably sized and shaped for receipt of a first connecting member;
• a second substantially planar wall portion defining a second opening lying within a second plane, said second substantially planar wall portion being substantially parallel to said first substantially planar wall portion and said second plane being substantially parallel to said first plane;
• a third substantially planar wall portion defining a third opening lying within a third plane, said third opening being suitably sized and shaped for receipt of a second connecting member and said third substantially planar wall portion being substantially perpendicualr to said first substantially planar wall portion and said third plane being substantially perpendicular to said first plane;
• said first and second openings being aligned with each other and of substantially the same size and shape;
• and
• said first, second and third wall portions defining an interior, hollow channel, said hollow channel being suitably sized and shaped for receipt of a third connecting member.

An adjustable support rack for receiving articles such as firewood, said adjustable support rack comprising:

• an arrangement of four corner brackets, each bracket arranged so as to define three channel-like passageways, a first one of said passageways being nonintersecting with the second and third passageways and said second and third passageways intersecting each other;
• an arrangement of eight connecting members, there being one corresponding connecting member received within the first passageway of each corner bracket and one corresponding connecting member received within the second passageway of each corner bracket, said corner brackets arranged in aligned pairs wherein the connecting member received within the second passageway is common to the corresponding aligned pair of corner brackets, said aligned pair being movable along said common connecting member in order vary the spacing between said aligned pair;
• and
• said arrangement of four corner brackets being configured with one disposed at each corner of said rack and said eight connecting members being configured wherein four of said eight connecting members interconnect the four corner brackets and four of said eight connecting members are arranged such that one each extends upwardly from each of the four corner brackets.
