Abstract

In some embodiments, a device may include a triangular prism-shaped support and a slidable rack. The triangular prism-shaped support includes a u-shaped channel guide. The slidable rack is configured to slide back and forth along the u-shaped channel guide of the triangular prism-shaped support. The slidable rack includes a first arm assembly including a plurality of notches spaced along a length of the first arm assembly.

Claims (22)

1. A device comprising:

a triangular prism-shaped support; and

a slidable rack configured to slide back and forth along the triangular prism-shaped support, wherein the slidable rack comprises:

a mounting base;

an endcap attached to the mounting base; and

a first arm assembly fixed to the endcap, the first arm assembly comprising a plurality of first notches spaced along a length of the first arm assembly, and wherein the length is fixed in a direction parallel to a sliding direction of the slidable rack along the triangular prism-shaped support.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting base comprises at least one of a hook or a z-clip.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting base is a triangular base having first and second sloped surfaces.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the triangular base is disposed between the triangular prism-shaped support and the first arm assembly.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the triangular base comprises a beveled tip.

6. The device of claim 3 , wherein the slidable rack comprises a vertical member that connects the triangular base and the first arm assembly.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the slidable rack comprises a second arm assembly connected to the vertical member.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the second arm assembly comprises a plurality of second notches spaced along a length of the second arm assembly.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of first notches face one direction and the plurality of second notches face an opposite direction.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the vertical member comprises a V-shaped bend.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the triangular prism-shaped support comprises a first inclined u-shaped channel guide.

12. The device of claim 11 , comprising a wheel configured to engage the first inclined u-shaped channel guide.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first arm assembly comprises a u-channel structure.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the triangular prism-shaped support comprises a second inclined u-shaped channel guide.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein a bottom of each of the first and second inclined u-shaped channel guides is attached to a base of the triangular prism-shaped support.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein a top of the first inclined u-shaped channel guides is attached to a top of the second inclined u-shaped channel guide at a joint.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein a channel of each of the first and second u-shaped channel guides faces outward from the joint.
