ABSTRACT:
A foldable rack includes a load platform and side frame assembly for storing newspapers and magazines in a vertical stack. The load platform is coupled to the side frame assembly for rotation and retraction from an extended, load-bearing support position to a retracted, collapsed storage position in which the load platform is in substantial alignment with the side frame assembly. Rotation, extension and retraction of the load platform relative to the side frame assembly is accommodated by coupling pins which project from opposite sides of the load platform and which are received within longitudinal slots formed in the sidebars. The side frame assembly is stabilized by a pair of struts which are pivotally attached to the load platform and to the side frame assembly by semicylindrical clasps. The rack is foldable for compact, minimum profile storage by disengaging the clasps from the upper crossbar, and thereafter rotating the struts into alignment with the load platform while retracting the load platform into alignment with the side frame assembly.
