Definitions
- ABSTRACT This device is a rack and a number of multi-shelved slides detachably secured thereon for supporting as many as eleven different size pans and/or trays.
- the rack made generally of high tensile aluminum alloy, is
- each corner supporting a roof and mounted on a base, preferably with four swivelled caster wheels on the bottom of the base for portability. It is open at least at the front, and the confronting sides of each pair of side uprights are provided with a number of suitable vertically spaced female keyhole slots in which the pan, or .tray supporting slides, made generally of extruded aluminum, are secured or mounted by means of male headed studs extending the backs of the slide.
- These studs extend from the back wall of the slides, and on the front wall of the slides, there are at least three shelves of various sizes, the middle shelf extending further than the upper and lower shelf, and the middle shelf terminates in a small upstanding ridge, and so does the bottom shelf.
- the middle shelf has an intermediate ridge, higher than its endridge, but stopping short of the top shelf and further out than the end of the top shelf so that one size of tray may be supported on this middle ridge, a different size on the outer ridge, yet another size on the top shelf, which is flat, yet still another size on the bottom shelf, etc., asa result of which eleven differentsizes or types of conventional pans or trays may be selectively carried by the rack. It is mainly used in the food industry, such as in restaurants,
- This invention is a plurality of multi-shelved slides and a rack in which they are attachably secured or mounted in supporting confronting pairs.
- the rack is made generally of high tensile aluminum alloy, while the slides are made of extruded aluminum.
- each rack is 2 different and capable, in confronting position, for providing upstanding or hanging support for particular different types or sizes of conventional sizes and type of trays and/or pansJ
- the pairs of racks are spaced vertically, and most, but not all sizes, may be supported thereon with the slides closely adjusted.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a portable rack in which'this invention has been installed.
- FIG. 2 is a back elevation-view of a slide on an enlarged scale.
- FIG. 3 is a back fragmentary, elevation view of a rack angle iron corner upright, with the lower slide completely installed, and the upper slide partially installed.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective multi-shelved slide. 7
- a portable rack in which this invention has been installed.
- This rack 10 is rigid skeleton consisting of two pairs of confronting uprights 12 on a base .14 and supporting a roof 16.
- the uprights 12 maybe angle irons.
- Four caster wheels, 20 fastened on the bottom of base I8 provide portability when desired, but if omitted, the. rack 10 is stationary.
- This invention includes the multi-shelved slides'22, each slide 22 having a male-headed stud 24 extending from its back wall 26 adjacent each of its ends 28, and each male stud 24 terminates in an enlarged head 30, thus providing the mounting or securing means part of the slide 22.
- the mounting or securing means part of the rack 10 are the female keyhole slots 32, in the confronting upright walls 48 on opposite sides, extending in parallel downward angles from an enlarged aperture 34.
- the width of the slots 32 is such as to admit the studs 24 but not permit the stud head 30 to pass therethrough, while the enlarged apertures 34 do permit the stud heads 30 to pass readily therethrough.
- Each multishelved slide 22 is shown as having three different horizontally extending shelves, the top shelf 36 being substantially'flat, the bottom shelf 38 extending a slight bit more than the top shelf, but terminating in a slight upstanding ridge 40 at its forward end.
- the intermediate shelf 42 also terminates in an upstanding ridge 44, and extends approximately twice as far as the other shelves 36 and 40.
- intermediate shelf 42 is thicker and hence stronger than the other two shelves 36 and 40, and is provided with an upstanding ridge 46 extending vertically about one third to one half the distance between the longer middle shelf 42 and the top shelf 36, and is located intermediate the outer end of the top shelf 36 and its own endridge 44.
- Pairs of shelves 22 are placed in confronting position by inserting their headed male studs 24 through the enlarged apertures 34 of the female keyhole slots 32.
- These keyhole slots 32 are located in the confronting faces 48 of the angle iron uprights l2, and are spaced vertically a distance slightly greater than the combined vertical height of a slide 22 plus the keyhole slot 32 including its large aperture 34 so that each slide may be inserted into secured position, or removed thereom, ir-
- each desired slide is installed by inserting its heads 30 through the apertures 34 of two side uprights 12, as in the upper portion of FIG. 3, then i moved down the angular slots 32 to the secured position, and another slide 22 is similarly installed on the two confronting upright walls, at the same height.
- ABSTRACT OFTHE DRAWlNGS lnthe drawings like numbers refer to like parts, and for'purposes of explication, marshalled below are the numbered parts of the MUL'll-SHELVED SLIDE RACK of this invention.
- a multi-shelved slide rack (10) comprising a rigid the uprights (12) being secured in rigid, spaced apart rectangular relationship, in combination with a plurality of pairs ofv multi-shelved slides (22), cooperating means (24 and 30, 32 and 34) on said slides (22) and on said confronting upright walls (48) for securing pairs of slides (22) in confronting relationship, said multi-shelved slides (22) of each pair having identical, various size, spaced, rigid shelves (36, 42, 38) thereon for selectively supporting any one of a plurality of various size trays and/or pans (50-66) on the selected confronting pairs of shelves, said slide (22) cooperating means (24, 30, 32, 34) comprising a pair of headed male stud means (24, 30) and a pair of complementary female keyhole slot means (32, 34), at least one pair of cooperating securing means being provided on each slide (22) and a plurality of vertically spaced cooperat ing securing means being provided on each confront
