Abstract

Claims (9)

1. A modular wine rack system comprising:

a pair of substantially identical support arms for supporting wine bottles having a body and a neck, each of said arms having a proximal end and a distal end, each of said support arms having at least one indentation capable of supporting a wine bottle, and each of said indentations having substantially identical dimensions;

wherein each of said support arms has mounting means at said proximal end mounting said support arms in a cantilevered position and wherein each of said distal ends is free; and

a support means receiving said pair of support arms substantially horizontally aligned in a cantilevered position and spaced apart to receive a wine bottle in said indentations; and wherein

said support arms can be disposed in two different positions by adjusting the distance therebetween such that in a first one of the positions, said support arms are spaced relatively close together so that the body of a wine bottle is supported by an indentation in each of the support arms thereby supporting said wine bottle in a substantially horizontal position and, alternatively, in a second one of said positions, said support arms are spaced relatively further apart so that the body of the wine bottle is supported by an indentation in one support arm and the neck of the bottle is supported by an indentation in the other support arm thereby supporting said wine bottle with its neck angled downwardly.

2. The wine rack system of claim 1 wherein said support arms have one indentation.

3. The wine rack system of claim 1 wherein said support arms have two indentations.

4. The wine rack system of claim 1 wherein said support arms have at least three indentations.

5. The wine rack system of claim 1 wherein said mounting means are a vertical plate.
