Definitions

  • the present invention proposes various solutions that may be applied and realised, without any of the previously mentioned inconveniences, aimed at satisfying the needs of the kitchen, the cellar or public activities in general It consists of a unit having few components, which can be assembled in an extremely simple and rapid fashion with no need for any special tools. It has been formed making use of easily obtainable material and with the assistance of already existing automatic equipment for low cost production. It consists of two frames of intersected drawn steel obtained by an electro- welding process, which create square meshed grids of a variable number both horizontal and vertical, through which the bottles are inserted. The rods forming the meshed grids of both frames project by some centimetres from the peripheral grids, both horizontally and vertically. One of the two frames is provided with horizontal transverse bars, at the midway point of the grids, in order to ensure bottle alignment and to serve as a stop at the base.
  • the structure of the unit prior to assembly takes up extremely reduced space, and has thus a great advantage as regards costs of packing, transportation and storage.
  • Assembly is carried out by means of pre-drilled linking components of extended parallelepiped blocks of wooden construction or of other suitable material, into which the protruding upper and lower vertical rods of the two frames are inserted.
  • the meshed grids on the two frames have been arranged at two different levels namely, lower at the rear frame, such that the bottles are disposed with a slight incline to the base, whilst permitting at the same time the cork to be fully immersed in the wine.
  • Fig. 1 shows the assembled unit from the front Fig. 2 shows the assembled unit seen in profile Fig. 3 shows the assembled unit seen from above
  • Fig. 4 shows the linking together of two units one on top of another with wall anchorage
  • Fig. 5 shows the upper wall anchorage of a single large unit or of a unit on top of another Fig. 6 shows two structures coupled back to back
  • the front frame (1 ) is composed of upright vertical front rods (3a) linked one with another by transverse horizontal front rods (4a) creating in this way a grid structure composed of a number of frontal square meshes for bottle insertion.
  • the rear frame (2) is similarly composed of intersecting upright vertical rods (3b) and horizontal transverses (4b), thus forming the rear meshes These meshes have been designed to be at a lower level, such that bottles inserted through the front and rear meshes are tilted slightly downwards, whilst keeping the cork immersed in the wine.
  • the rear frame is provided furthermore with a horizontal transverse bar midway between each row of meshes (5) in order to align the bottles and to serve as a bottle stop.
  • the unit already assembled may be easily recomposed to permit the returning to the original dimensions in case of its being used in another area or location.
