Abstract:
1. In a combination with at least one elongated article having a length thereof being greater than a cross-sectional area in a plane being normal to said length, a modular system for at least one of displaying and storing said at least one article having the length thereof being greater than the width or the diameter thereof, said modular system comprising: (a) at least a pair of elongated support brackets disposed in a spaced apart parallel relationship with each other; (b) at least one elongated cross member being sized to at least span a distance between said at least said pair of elongated support brackets, said at least one elongated cross member having an exterior surface portion thereof at least directly resting on a top edge surface of each of said at least said pair of elongated support brackets during use of said modular system, said at least one elongated cross member includes a cavity defined in one surface thereof throughout a length of said at least one elongated cross member, said cavity having a concave shape in a direction normal to said length of said at least one elongated cross member, said concave shape is so sized that said at least one article, being at least partially disposed within said cavity, is restrained from movement past longitudinal edges of said at least one elongated cross member; and (c) means for positioning each of said at least one elongated cross member and said at least said pair of elongated support brackets in a generally horizontal plane during use of said modular system.
