Wine bottle rack.

The invention relates to a frame which is particularly suitable is to support wine bottles in a desired, generally horizontal position, but which is also to support other items can be used.

The use of a welded metal rod construction for Wine bottle racks and similar supports are known. According to some of these known proposals, the manufactured MetaVistangen welded so that they form a solid, uniform Form the frame. Devices of this type are difficult to transport and store and are often damaged during transport.

Certain other known devices include demountables Components in which the end parts and the side parts are separated and by screws or other special separate fastening means get connected. Still other examples of known wine bottle racks are the end pieces and the side pieces hinged so that they collapse in a generally diamond shape. Devices of this type require special attachments or fasteners to the wine bottle rack to hold in a spread operating position.

The invention sees a wine bottle gesture consisting of M-etaTl rods before, in which the two end parts and each of several side parts form separate, rigidly welded units that can be packaged and transported in a safe and compact manner. The side panels consist of grids, which are made of vertical and horizontal bars are formed which are welded at their crossing points to form a checkerboard-like pattern of openings for receiving and supporting wine bottles

form. The horizontal metal bars of the side panels or some the same have laterally directed and downwardly curved ends which overlap the crossbars of the end parts »so that the Device can be set up quickly and conveniently without assistance any external fastening devices.

The end parts have spaced apart vertical rods which are welded to the same to form guides which arrange the side parts exactly relative to the longitudinal direction. The weight of the wine bottles or the like in the rack holds the same against accidental dismantling when the frame is in use.

The side grille parts consist of front and middle parts, which support the bottles on their underside, and from a rear part, which is provided with vertical rods, which are generally in the middle of the side grilles formed spaces are so that the bottoms of the bottles against the vertical rods of the rear side grille part issue.

In a preferred embodiment, the crossbars of the end parts are inclined backwards and downwards, so that the gaps in the middle part of the grid are much lower than the corresponding ones Gaps in the front part of the grille. The wine bottles are arranged in these spaces in such a way that that the main parts of the bottles rest on the horizontal bars of the central grid part, while the necks of the bottles rest on rest on the horizontal bars of the front grille. the The relation of the front and middle grille parts is also such that the bottoms of the bottles are inclined slightly downwards, so that tends to collect the sediment in the bottoms of the bottles, when they are stored in the rack.

The invention therefore relates to a wine bottle rack that is welded from Metal rods is made and that without assistance of screws or other external fasteners

can be set and dismantled. A pair of end portions extend in the longitudinal direction in vertical planes and lateral Gi ttertei Ie stand with the end parts on the opposite Side edges of the grid parts by means of hook-shaped ends of the grid parts in engagement, which overlap the cross bars of the end parts. The end parts are provided with pairs of vertical rods, which Guides for locating and holding the hooked ends of the lattice parts. The lattice parts and the end parts are through the weight of the objects supported by the lattice parts in the assembled state

In the drawings shows:

FIG. 1: a partially diagrammatic view of an embodiment of the wine bottle rack according to the invention in FIG assembled state, which illustrates the right-hand end of the frame,

Figure 2: an end view of the right-hand end part of the frame, Figure 3: a front view of the front side grille part,

Figure 4: a front view of the rear side grille part and

FIG. 5: a plan view of the rear lateral grille part according to Figure 4.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, includes the wine bottle rack essentially has five sub-units, of each of which consists of rods welded together. The five Sub-units are a left-hand end piece (not shown) 10, a right-hand end part 11, a front lattice part 12, a rear lattice part 13 and a middle lattice part 14.

According to Figure 2, the right-hand end part 11 consists of front and rear vertical metal pipes 16 and 17 passing through inclined Cross bars 18-21 are connected, which at their ends with the

509840/0310

The insides of the vertical tubes 16 and 17 are welded. As Figure 2 shows, there are three pairs of vertical bars 23,24 and 25 welded to the outside of the cross bars 18-21. The bars of each pair are spaced from each other around guides to assemble the front, rear and middle grid parts with the end parts as described below will. In the embodiment shown, a diagonal reinforcing rod 27 is welded to the cross rods 18-21.

FIG. 3 shows the front grille part 12, which consists of a series of horizontal bars 29 and a series of vertical bars 30, which are welded to one another in order to form the grid shown in FIG. Some of the horizontal bars have lateral extensions that are bent down to form hooks 31. Reach over when assembling the frame the hooks 31 around the transverse rods 18-21 of the end parts 10, 11 and also grip between the vertical rods 23 of the end parts to be guided through these vertical rods and precisely arranged.

The middle grid part 14 is essentially the same as the front one Lattice part 12. Its hooks 31 also overlap the crossbars 18-21 of the end parts and also engage between the pairs of vertical rods 25 of these end parts. The inclination of the cross bars 18-21 backwards and downwards is such that the main parts of the wine bottles on the horizontal bars 29 of the middle ereryGi ttter part 14 rest, while the necks of the bottles rest on the horizontal bars 29 of the front grille part 12, so that the bottles are tilted slightly so that their rear ends are lowered enough to cause the deposit to settle in the Collects wine in the bottoms of the bottles "

The rear grille part 13 shown in Figures 4 and 5 is reinforced the assembled GE frame and / serves as a rear stop for the bottles, which rest on the horizontal bars of the front and middle grid parts 12 and 14. Rear Grid part 13 consists of a number of vertical bars / 33, as well as four horizontal front rods 34 and four with the - '

same aligned horizontal rear bars 35. The horizontal ones front bars 34 are welded to the vertical bars 33 to form a rigid rear lattice part. the Horizontal rear rods 35 have downwardly curved lateral extensions 36 which overlap the transverse rods 18-21 and also between the pair of vertical rods 24 of the end parts 10 and 11 grip as it did with the front and middle grille parts the case is.

The vertical bars 33 of the rear grille part are relative to the vertical bars 30 of the front and middle grille parts offset so that they lie across the chambers, which are formed by the bars of the front and middle grid parts and therefore serve as rear stops for the bottles that are in the areas formed by the front and middle grille parts Chambers are arranged.

From the above it can be seen that the parts in perfectly can be stored and transported in a flat, compact state. When assembling it is only necessary to hook the individual hooks Lattice parts with the end parts in engagement. To bring without the use special tools or fasteners. The weight of the bottles in the rack keeps the grid parts against accidental Dismantling safely in the assembled position.
