Plate stand for random assortment of plates

An assembly comprising:

• a first and a second panel each defined by an inner panel edge and an outer panel edge extending between a generally transverse upper and lower panel edge for supporting dishes in a cantilevered manner, each said dish being defined by a generally circular base surface and a periphery spaced from said base surface, a plurality of recess cut-outs extending from said inner edge of each said first and second panel in substantially matching spaced increments therein, each said cut-out being defined by an upper and a lower cut-out edge spaced for opposing contact respectively with the periphery and the bottom surface of a selected one of said dishes, an upper and lower generally planar extension projecting distally of said inner edges of each said first and second panel adjacent the corresponding upper and lower panel edges, the upper and lower extensions of said first panel being engageable in a generally transverse engagement to the corresponding ones of said upper and lower extensions of said second panel, wherein said upper and lower extensions of said first panel each include an associated notch proximate said inner edge and wherein said upper and lower extensions of said second panel each include an associated notch proximate said inner edge and wherein said notches of said upper extensions of said first and second panels oppose each other and engage each other and wherein said notches of said lower extension of said first and second panels oppose each other and engage each other to enable said first and second panels to interlock to form a self supported structure.

An assembly of a first and second panel each defined by an inner panel edge and an outer panel edge extending between a generally transverse upper and lower panel edge for supporting dishes in a cantilevered manner, each said dish being defined by a generally circular base surface and a periphery spaced from said base surface, said assembly further comprising:

• a plurality of recess cut-outs extending from said inner edge of each said first and second panel in substantially matching spaced increments therein, each said cut-out being defined by an upper and a lower cut-out edge spaced for opposing contact respectively with the periphery and the bottom surface of a selected one of said dishes;
• and an upper and lower generally planar extension projecting distally of said inner edges of each said first and second panel adjacent the corresponding upper and lower panel edges, the upper and lower extensions of said first panel being engageable in a generally transverse engagement to the corresponding ones of said upper and lower extensions of said second panel, wherein said upper and lower extensions of said first panel each include an associated notch proximate said inner edge and wherein said upper and lower extensions of said second panel each include an associated notch proximate said inner edge and wherein said notches of said upper extensions of said first and second panels oppose each other and engage each other and wherein said notches of said lower extension of said first and second panels oppose each other and engage each other to enable said first and second panels to interlock to form a self supported structure.
