ABSTRACT:
A general purpose support system adaptable to a ski rack, bicycle rack, barricade, bench, table, advertising display, or the like, is formed of two tubular members, typically of steel tubing each bent in a single piece to form a leg portion at each end with an intermediate transverse portion therebetween. In service, at least one transverse portion may extend between the tops of the two respective leg portions. Each leg portion is attached to the opposite legs of the other tubular member. Two transverse members may be spaced apart from one another to form a yoke for carrying and to increase the capacity of the support for bicycles, skis and the like. The racks may be stackable for storage, and light enough to be moved to an inside storage location daily. Each leg portion is bent to form a knee portion located proximate the top thereof and near the transverse portion. The two tubular members may be anchored separately or may be joined at each end to be free-standing. The tubular members may be connected at the respective knee portion of each, the legs extending away therefrom upward and downward as well as outward.
