Title: A support for bottles where multiple supports interact to support the edges of the support
Inventor: WILSON MALCOLM WILLIAM
IPC: B65D71/70
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A stacking support for at least one row of wine bottles is of sheet-like form with indentations (10) shaped to receive and locate at least one row of bottles in parallel relationship in a first layer.
