ABSTRACT:
A quickly assembled rack for supporting oxygen tanks and other cylindrical objects is disclosed, requiring no special tools and comprising relatively few components, adapted to be assembled in any of a wide variety of rack configurations. The assembly basically constitutes a plurality of rack sections each of which supports a single tank. Each section is comprised, essentially, of a three-sided box portion, a tank-supporting cradle adapted to be mounted therein, and a cover plate for the box section. By selective positioning of the box sections, any of various rack assemblies, extending in tiers for any selected horizontal or vertical distance, can be quickly erected, and knocked down with equal facility for storage or shipment. When a tiered assembly is desired, the bottom of one box section becomes the cover for the section below the same. Openings in the sides and bottoms of the box sections are so placed as to automatically register with corresponding openings of adjacent sections adjacent to or below each section, to receive fasteners, whereby the entire assembly can be securely locked in both the horizontal and vertical direction, against relative movement of one box section in respect to any of the other sections of the rack assembly.
It is also possible, if desired, to so erect the assembly as to allow the tanks to be stored in vertical positions rather than in positions approaching or at the horizontal.
