Abstract:
A rack for holding an elongated rod, comprising:a frame movable to different positions and comprising first and second spaced apart members each having an edge located such that said edges of said first and second members face in the same direction, a slot formed in said second member from said edge of said second member, said slot having an entrance which leads to a closed end defining a receiving space with said closed end being spaced inward from said edge of said second member and located along a line from said edge of said second member which line is spaced laterally from said entrance such that said slot defines a path which has a bend between said entrance and said closed end with the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said closed end being less than the shortest distance between said edge of said second member and said bend, an aperture formed through said first member at a position spaced inward of said edge of said first member in line with said receiving space defined by said closed end, said aperture being defined by a surface which completely surrounds said aperture, and an elastic cord extending along said second member which crosses said slot between said bend and said edge of said second member and which is located near said closed end to allow a portion of the rod to extend through said aperture and a portion of the rod to be located in said slot and moved around said bend to said closed end and held against said closed end by said cord to removably secure the rod in said aperture.
