However, in the case of Patent Document 1, for example, the conventional rack has a limit in narrowing the width dimension up to the distance between the second support members in the center. Therefore, a certain width dimension is required, and it is necessary to secure a place for mounting the rack. Further, for example, in the case of Patent Document 2, two or more cooking utensils having different shapes, sizes, and weights cannot be placed, and no more cooking utensils can be stored. Even when a rack such as these is not used, a storage space for the rack itself must be secured.

Therefore, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the rack according to the present invention has a plurality of supports erected on the base portion and the base portion so as to be separated from each other along the depth direction from the front to the back. The member, the wide support portion in which the left and right central portions of the support member are formed wide, and the side end portion of the support member are narrowed through a notch in which the upper end is opened between the wide support portion. It is characterized by having a formed bottle stand portion.

The bottle stand portion is preferably formed at both left and right end portions of the support member. By providing the bottle stand portions on the left and right, a hollow container can be inserted and held in each bottle stand portion. Further, when only a low-bulk support object such as a frying pan is leaned against the hollow container without inserting it, the area to be supported together with the bottle stand portion is expanded and stability can be maintained.

It is preferable that the support member is formed of a wire rod. The wire may be made of, for example, hard steel wire, piano wire, stainless wire, resin or wood. By using the wire rod for the support member and giving it a spring action, flexibility is created and the support member can be easily attached and detached.

The upper end of the wide support portion may be formed in a convex curve upward. As a result, the wide support portion can continuously support the bottle stand portions on both sides and widely support the object to be supported over the width direction of the rack according to the present invention.

The base portion preferably has an elastic structure that can be expanded and contracted in the depth direction.
According to this form, when it is desired to store a plurality of cooking utensils, one end of one base portion of the present invention is pulled away from the other end portion of the other base portion in a direction opposite to the other, and when it is not stored, the base portion of the present invention is used. Since one end and the other end of the portion can be brought close to each other to reduce the distance between the base portion located at the front and the base portion located at the end, the width dimension can be adjusted, so that it can be used for each application. Furthermore, by minimizing the width dimension, there is no problem with the storage space of the rack when not in use.

The telescopic structure may be formed by a pantograph structure.
With this structure, even if a plurality of cooking utensils are stored, the weight can be withstood and stability can be ensured.

It is preferable that the support member is detachably attached to the base portion.
The lower end portion of the support member includes a bent engaging portion that is bent in the left-right direction. According to this embodiment, the lower end portion of the support member is formed in a corrugated shape. The bent engaging portion includes an inwardly projecting portion that protrudes inward in the cutting direction and an outwardly convex portion that protrudes outward in the direction opposite to the inwardly convex portion. The outwardly projecting outer convex portion is inserted into and engaged with the insertion hole formed in the protruding portion formed upward from the left and right ends of the base portion. The outer convex portion protruding from the insertion hole can be pushed in from the outside, and can be removed from the insertion hole. Further, when it is desired to store a square flat instrument, a support member without a bottle stand can be attached. By making the support member removable in this way, the support member can be replaced, and various types of support objects can be stored upright.
Furthermore, even if the support member is damaged or dirty, it can be removed and replaced or washed.

According to the disclosure of the rack according to the present invention, for example, low-bulk cooking utensils such as frying pans, kitchen utensils, tubular containers, and other support objects having different shapes can be stored.

Further, the wide support portion can continuously support the bottle stand portions on both sides over the width direction of the rack according to the present invention. When the hollow container is not stored in the bottle stand portion, the bottle stand portion also serves as a support member. Therefore, by providing the bottle stand portion, it is possible to support the device more stably even if a large device is stored.

Furthermore, since the base portion is configured in a pantograph shape, the width dimension can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of storages and the application.

Furthermore, since the bent engaging portion of the support member can be removed from the insertion hole of the base portion, it can be replaced with a support member having a different shape. It is also possible to clean only the support member.

In addition, the width dimension can be adjusted to make it compact, so there is no need to worry about where to store the rack when not in use.

The width is narrowed through a notch 6 in which the upper end is opened between the wide support portion 4 in which the left and right central portions of the support member 3 are formed wide and the side end portion of the support member 3 is formed in the wide support portion 4. It has a bottle stand portion 5 formed in the above.

The bottle stand portion 5 may be formed at both left and right end portions of the support member 3.
As an example, the bottle stand portion 5 extends narrowly upward and is provided at both left and right end portions of the wide support portion 4. The bottle stand portion 5 allows a container having a short opening and a hollow interior to be inserted. Further, by providing the containers at the left and right side ends, it is possible to dry and store a plurality of hollow containers.

The support member 3 may be formed of a wire rod. As shown in FIG. 10, one wire rod is formed by bending to form a support member 3 having a bottle stand portion 5, a wide support portion 4, and a notch 6. As a result, the support member 3 is completed with a single wire rod, and the rack 1 having a simple structure can be manufactured.

It is preferable that the upper end of the wide support portion 4 is formed in a convex curve upward.
As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of the wide support portion 4 is formed in an upwardly convex curve. Further, in the present embodiment, the wide support portion 4 is formed in a semi-circular shape. Here, for example, the wide support portion 4 may be formed in a rectangular shape. As a result, the wide support portion 4 can continuously support the bottle stand portions 5 on both sides over the width direction of the rack 1 according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the base portion 2 may have an elastic structure that can be expanded and contracted in the depth direction.

Due to the pantograph structure shown in FIG. 3, the support shaft 15 to be connected at the connection point 19 is connected to the rod 16, and the rod 16 is moved according to the support shaft 15. Therefore, when in use, the sliding plate 14 is moved from the front to the back in the depth direction. Can be separated from each other along. As a result, a thick instrument can be leaned against the rod 16 with the maximum length. With this structure, it can be expanded and contracted according to the equipment to be leaned against.

As shown in FIG. 8, when not in use, the sliding plates 14 can be brought close to each other in the direction from the back surface to the front surface to narrow the depth width of the base portion 2. Therefore, the rack 1 becomes compact and there is no problem with the storage space.

It is preferable that the support member 3 is detachably attached to the base portion 2.
The lower end portion 10 of the support member 3 includes a bent engaging portion 11 that is bent in the left-right direction. According to this embodiment, it is formed in a corrugated shape. The bent engaging portion 11 is composed of an inwardly projecting portion 18 projecting inward in the direction of the notch 6 and an outwardly projecting portion 17 projecting outward in the direction opposite to the inwardly convex portion 18. The outward convex portion 17 projecting outward from the bent engaging portion 11 engages with the insertion hole 13 formed in the protruding portion 12 projecting upward from the left and right ends of the base portion 2. Further, if a plurality of insertion holes 13 are provided and a bent engaging portion 11 having a plurality of outer convex portions 17 having the same number as the number of insertion holes 13 is provided, the outermost convex portion 17 at the lowermost stage is inserted into any one of them. The height of the support member 3 can be freely changed by engaging with the hole 13. As a result, a vertically long hollow container, a cutting board with a long side, and the like can be easily leaned against.

Further, by being detachably engaged with each other, it becomes possible to replace the support member 3 with a different shape. If the wide support portion 4 is attached with the rectangular support member 3, it is possible to store a rectangular flat instrument. By making the support member 3 removable in this way, it is possible to stand up and store various types of cooking utensils, and it is also possible to insert and store hollow containers of different sizes.

The wide support portion 4 is formed with a notch 6 having an open upper end between the side end portion of the support member 3 and the wide support portion 4. As an example, as shown in the figure, the notch 6 is provided up to the position of the bent engaging portion 11. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the lengths of the bottle stand portion 5 integrated with the notch 6 from one side 7 to the bent engaging portion 11 of the other side 8 become the same. According to this form, it is possible to prevent the tubular device from being tilted and to store it while maintaining stability.

A protruding portion 12 extending upward is formed at the left and right ends of the base portion 2, and an insertion hole 13 is provided in the protruding portion 12. According to the embodiment, the insertion hole 13 has a vertically elongated elliptical shape.
As a result, the outward convex portion 17 projecting to the outside of the bent bent engaging portion 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 and engaged with the bent engaging portion 11, thereby engaging the bent engaging portion 11 with the insertion hole 13 of the base portion 2. Can be attached and detached.

Further, a plurality of the insertion holes 13 may be provided on the projecting portion 12, and an outer convex portion 17 of the bent engaging portion 11 corresponding to the number of the insertion holes 13 is provided. The height of the support member 3 is lowered by engaging the outer convex portion 17 at the lower end with the insertion hole 13 at the lower end, and the outer convex portion 17 at the lower end is engaged with the insertion hole 13 at the upper end to reduce the height of the support member 3. The height will be higher. In this way, the height of the support member 3 can be adjusted by providing a plurality of outer convex portions 17 and insertion holes 13.

Next, how to use the present invention will be described. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the sliding plates 14 of the base portion 2 are adjacent to each other at the time of storage, and the depth is minimized. At the time of use, in order to separate the sliding plates 14 of the base portion 2, one of the foremost or last located base portions 2 is pulled in a direction of separating from the other. Then, the support members 3 are installed apart from each other, and low-volume cooking utensils such as a frying pan 20 and a pot lid, kitchen utensils, and a tubular container can be stored between the support members 3. As shown in FIG. 9, a hollow container such as a PET bottle 22 or a bottle 21 can be inserted into the bottle stand portion 5 between some of the support members 3, and the frying pan 20 can be stored between the other support members 3.
