Abstract:
1. A modular bottle storage rack, comprising: a plurality of panel connecting members, each panel connecting member being defined by first and second sides thereof; a first leg member; a first one of the panel connecting members being attached to the first leg member; a second leg member; a second one of the panel connecting members being attached to the second leg member; a first plurality of front bottle support panels, each front bottle support panel defined by front bottle support panel first and second sides, the first plurality of front bottle support panels being arranged in horizontal spaced-apart relationship; the first side of a first one of the front bottle support panels being connected to the second side of the first panel connecting member, and the second side of a second one of the front bottle support panels being connected to the first side of the second panel connecting member, and wherein for each instance where front bottle support panels are adjacent to one another, the adjacent front bottle support panels are connected to one another using a further one of the plurality of panel connecting members; a third leg member; a third one of the panel connecting members being attached to the third leg member; a fourth leg member; a fourth one of the panel connecting members attached to the fourth leg member; a first plurality of rear bottle support panels, each rear bottle support panel defined by rear bottle support panel first and second sides, the first plurality of rear bottle support panels being arranged in horizontal spaced-apart relationship; the first side of a first one of the rear bottle support panels being connected to the second side of the third panel connecting member, and the second side of a second one of the rear bottle support panels being connected to the first side of the fourth panel connecting member, and wherein for each instance where rear bottle support panels are adjacent to one another, the adjacent rear bottle support panels are connected to one another using a further one of the plurality of panel connecting members; a first spacing member disposed between the first and third leg members at the first and third panel connecting members; a second spacing member disposed between the second and fourth leg members at the second and fourth panel connectors; the panel connecting members are connected to the bottle front support panels in a hinged manner to allow adjacent bottle front support panels to be bent into a concave shape with respect to one another; and the panel connecting members are connected to the bottle rear support panels in a hinged manner to allow adjacent bottle rear support panels to be bent into a concave shape with respect to one another; wherein the leg members are upright posts that enable the front and rear bottle support panels to be supported and elevated above a floor or ground surface; wherein bottles are each configured to rest upon a corresponding pair of front and rear bottle support panels in a horizontal manner without falling off the rack.
