Stackable and nestable racks

In rack constructed of wire components formed to permit stacking and nesting when at least two of said racks are employed, the improvement comprising:

• substantially vertically erect leg members formed of wire and provided at each end of the rack, a substantially horizontally extending foot extending substantially entirely across each end of the rack, formed of wire, provided respectively at the lower ends of the leg members at each end of the rack;
• a substantially elongated wire structure extending the length of the rack and interconnecting and retaining the leg members fixedly at opposite ends of the said wire structure, said wire structure formed to support articles thereon, said wire structure having apertures provided proximate each of its corners, each horizontally extending foot being connected to the leg members at a respective end of the rack by a pair of foot portions, each pair of foot portion is in an offset position provided for inserting through and turning under the formed apertures of said wire structure of an adjacent rack there below so that the racks will be vertically stacked while having the horizontally extending foot at each end of the rack resting upon the elongated wire structure of the subjacent rack that is arranged there below;
• each foot portion disposed a distance below said wire structure so as to provide space under said wire structure to accommodate articles stored there below on the wire structure of the subjacent rack;
• and
• each foot portion of said rack that cooperates with the apertures of the wire structure of the subjacent rack is arranged to provide for an engaging securement of the pair of racks when stacked, and each wire leg member has sufficient flex to provide for its bending during an engagement of said foot portion in the wire structure of the subjacent rack.
