ABSTRACT:
A rack which engages the necks of bottles through a plurality of spaced-apart, stalk mounted, bilaterally symmetrical, paired, tapered ring members and rigidly supports said bottles in a near horizontal position. Said ring members are arranged in front-rear pairs such that the neck of a bottle to be supported may be inserted therethrough and engage the tapered end of the front ring member along the lower portion of said neck and the tapered end of the rear ring member along the upper portion of said neck while said bottle is in the near horizontal position. Said supported bottle is held rigidly in place through the force of gravity acting on said bottle and against the four points of contact with said ring members. A plurality of stalk members connect and rigidly support said front ring members and said ring members respectively in columns or rows in the generally vertical plane. A plurality of spacing members rigidly connect the columns or rows of front ring members with the columns or rows of corresponding rear ring members and maintain the distance between the ring members of each ring member pair. A support structure provides means for rigidly supporting the rack on a surface or attachment to a wall, or the like.
