ABSTRACT:
A implement for storing weight lifting plates whereby the plates cannot be placed incorrectly. The invention comprises plural foundation members adapted to create a base of support or to attach the implement to existing structures. Mainframe members connect upwardly therefrom to form the structure of the implement. Each plate station is comprised of two horizontal-extender members mounted perpendicular to the mainframe member at a predetermined height and protruding laterally by various distances. Attached to the outermost end of each horizontal-extender member is a forwardly protruding plate-support member, adapted to support the plates with maximal surface contact. A height-limiting member is centrally mounted to the mainframe member and protruding forwardly, superior to the plate-support members at a predetermined distance depending on the plate size. Mounted flush to the mainframe member, between the plate-support and height-limiting members, is a false plate adapted to render the plate location obvious when the station is empty.
