Abstract

In some embodiments, a device may include a support and a slidable rack. The support includes a support base and first and second inclined slide mechanisms attached to opposed sides of the support base. The first and second inclined slide mechanisms are inclined so that a first distance between top edges of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms is less than a second distance between bottom edges of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms, wherein each of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms comprises an outward facing u-shaped channel guide. The slidable rack is configured to slide back and forth along the first and second inclined slide mechanisms.

Claims (17)

1 . A device comprising:

a support comprising:

a support base;

first and second inclined slide mechanisms attached to opposed sides of the support base and inclined so that a first distance between top edges of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms is less than a second distance between bottom edges of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms, wherein each of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms comprises an outward facing u-shaped channel guide; and

a slidable rack configured to slide back and forth along the first and second inclined slide mechanisms.

2 . The device of claim 1 comprising a mounting base attached to the support.

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

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the slidable rack comprises a rack base.

5 . The device of claim 4 comprising an endcap attached to the rack base.

6 . The device of claim 5 comprising a first arm assembly attached to the endcap, the first arm assembly comprising a plurality of first notches spaced along a length of the first arm assembly.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the length is fixed in a direction parallel to a sliding direction of the slidable rack along the support.

8 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the rack base is disposed between the support and the first arm assembly.

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

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the slidable rack comprises a second arm assembly connected to the vertical member.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the second arm assembly comprises a plurality of second notches spaced along a length of the second arm assembly.

12 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the rack base has first and second sloped surfaces.

13 . The device of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the first and second inclined slide mechanisms is a ball bearing drawer slide.
