ABSTRACT:
A free standing article-supporting structure arranged such that articles may be supported by and are readily removable from such structure. The structure comprises an open-sided frame having a pair of laterally spaced arms including a transversely extending base portion for maintaining such arms in a normally upstruck pose. The arms are joined by one or more reinforced connecting members. The structure further includes one or more laterally elongated slanting shelves affixed to the reinforcing connecting member and extending transversely from the frame. Each shelf is formed from a relatively rigid wire or rod and typically is coated with a material such as vinyl or plastic. A retaining device is provided at opposite ends of the shelf for preventing articles from unwantingly rolling from the shelf. Moreover, an article-retaining lip is provided at the transverse limit of the shelf unit for influencing transverse movement of the articles on the shelf.
