Abstract:
A rack for holding flat substantially rectangular articles in an upright position, each said article having a transverse dimension, said rack comprisinga flexible planar backboard having a first side and a second side, at least one pair of flexible resilient loops, each said loop having a lower end and an upper end, at least one of said lower end and said upper end being separable from said backboard, each said lower end of each said loop being fixed to said first side of said backboard, each said upper end of each said loop being fixed to said first side of said backboard, and an arcuate section between said ends, said lower ends in each pair being fixed to points on said backboard which are spaced apart at a first distance, said upper ends in each pair being fixed to points on said backboard which are spaced apart at a second distance which is greater than said first distance, said upper ends of each pair lying above and outside the corresponding lower ends when said backboard is in an upright position, each said loop having a length which is greater than the distance between the points where its first and second ends are fixed to the backboard, such that at least one said rectangular article having a substantial thickness and a transverse dimension which is greater than said first distance and less than said second distance can be supported by each said pair of loops when said backboard is in an upright position.
