Abstract:
A storage rack for supporting a plurality of containers has an elongated body configured for mounting in a vertical orientation to a support structure such as a wall. The rack includes laterally extending container mounting apertures configured to engage the narrowed elongated neck portions of the containers. Each container is retained and supported in a cantilevered manner from the rack by their necks. Various configurations of mounting apertures include closed and open geometries. One embodiment of mounting apertures includes an entrance opening having a larger cross-sectional area than an opposite exit opening. The entrance opening includes obliquely angled wall surfaces which facilitate insertion of the container neck into the mounting aperture.

Claim (Index 19):
A storage system for holding a plurality of bottles, the storage system comprising:\n a plurality of elongated bottles each having a main body portion and a narrowed neck portion having a transverse cross sectional area smaller than the body portion; a vertically elongated storage rack defining a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, and a height greater than a lateral width; the rack having a right lateral major surface, a left lateral major surface, a front surface, and a rear surface configured for placement on a vertical support structure; and a plurality of laterally extending bottle mounting apertures formed through the rack between the right lateral major surface and the left lateral major surface, each of the mounting apertures engaging the neck portion of one of the bottles which are supported in a cantilevered manner; each mounting aperture having an enlarged entrance opening configured for inserting the neck portion of one of the bottles therethrough, and a smaller exit opening through which the neck portion protrudes after insertion through the entrance opening, the entrance openings having a greater cross-sectional area than the exit openings; the exit openings each having an upper and lower walls which engage the neck portions of the bottles when the bottles are fully inserted in the mounting apertures; and the entrance openings each having lower walls which engage the neck portions of the bottles and an upper wall which does not engage the neck portions when the bottles are fully inserted in the mounting apertures.
