  A state suitable for draining (liquid draining) of the bottle is a state in which the bottle is inclined obliquely with the bottle mouth facing downward so that the water (liquid) is completely cut from the bottle mouth, and both ends of the support bar The inclination of the supported bottle can be changed by the portion being rotatably fixed by the mounting member.

  The support bar is generally a metal straight bar, and considering the slip when the bottle is supported by the metal straight bar, the surface of the support bar is elastic. It is desirable to cover with a cover of the nature. If it does so, the contact (hit) with a bottle is good, the frictional resistance of a contact part increases, it becomes difficult to slip, and it is preferable for supporting a bottle stably.

  In addition, in order to allow many draining (drying) and drying of the bottle at a time, the support member is substantially equally spaced so that the open end of the support member is embedded in the side of the straight support bar. A large number of support members are arranged in parallel, and both ends of a support bar arranged in parallel at substantially equal intervals are attached and fixed to a wall of a kitchen, for example, by a mounting member, or a column is set up on an installation table or a movable carriage. Then, both ends of the support bar are supported by the attachment members so that the openings of the upper and lower support members are alternately displaced from each other by the attachment members.

  The present invention relates to a support member having an opening formed in a range smaller than the neck diameter portion of the bottle and larger than the neck diameter portion including the bottle mouth portion, and the open ends of the support member are attached and fixed, and both end portions are attachment members. A bottle support rack and a bottle support method in which the bottle diameter part and the neck diameter part including the bottle mouth part are supported from different directions by the support bar fixed and fixed in As long as the neck diameter portion including the diameter portion and the bottle mouth portion is compatible with the opening of the support member, stable support can be obtained with any balance even if the size and shape of the bottle are different.

  Also, by mounting and fixing the support bar so as to be rotatable with the mounting member, the tilt of the supported bottle is changed, and it is not supported so as to be put in the bottle and to block the bottle mouth. (Liquid draining) also becomes smooth, and bottle support suitable for draining (liquid draining), drying and the like after washing the bottle and discharging the content liquid is obtained.

  Further, the open end of the support member formed in a U-shape (or U-shape or V-shape) may be attached and fixed to a straight support rod, and both ends of the support rod may be attached with the attachment member. It is simple to support, can be provided at low cost, and can be arbitrarily attached to the wall or support column where it is needed.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention is that a straight support member whose surface is covered with an elastic cover has an opening smaller than the bottle diameter and larger than the neck including the bottle opening. The U-shaped support member is attached and fixed, and the attachment members are detachably provided at both ends of the support bar, and both ends of the support bar are supported by the attachment members.
