ABSTRACT:
A cap rack in the form of an elongated bar. The elongated bar is placed in a substantially vertical orientation and includes a laterally central portion which extends forward with respect to the lateral side edges. A laterally extending slot extends through the rack for each cap to be retained therein, with each of the slots including an enlarged portion at one end thereof. When the body of the baseball type cap is folded such that the rear portion is reversed and retained within the front portion, a substantially planar fold line is formed. This fold line is received within the slot in the rack. Where the cap is of the type having a central upper button or peen, this peen may be inserted through the enlarged portion in the slot. As such, the peen will be retained behind the laterally central portion of the rack to maintain the cap in place. Two or more of these racks may be connected together at their longitudinal and/or lateral edges to form display racks which may be hung from the ceiling of a store or be placed upon a rod for rotation thereabout.
