Compactly Stackable Wire Chafing Stand

摘要

A chafer wire stand has an upper rim of a closed rectangle and a lower rim of wire metal of similar, but smaller shape. The chafer stand is nestable such that straight wire section extending between the upper and lower rim touch each other when nested and the upper rims of the nested stands are held close to each other. The upper and lower rims are connected by at least two wires substantially identically shaped and bent with each wire being unitary and having a segment thereof attached to the upper rim and extending outwardly therefrom to form a handle element for the chafer wire stand. Each wire is attached to the lower rim and extends therefrom to form two supporting legs for the chafer wire stand.

主权项

1. A chafer wire stand comprising:
a) an upper rim of wire metal which forms a closed geometrical configuration circumscribing a first surface area, b) a lower rim of wire metal having a geometric shape substantially identical to said upper rim and circumscribing a second surface area, said second surface area being smaller than said first surface area, and c) at least two wires of wire metal substantially identically shaped and bent, such that:
each of said at least two wires has a segment thereof attached to said upper rim and extending outwardly therefrom to form a handle element for said chafer wire stand; andeach of said at least two wires being attached to said lower rim and extending downwardly therefrom to form at least one supporting leg for said chafer wire stand;wherein each of said at least two wires has at least two straight wire segments thereof extending at an angle between said upper rim and lower rim and connected thereto respectively to thereby hold said upper and lower rim in fixed position relative to each other and wherein each wire is substantially symmetrical relative to a vertical axis through a center thereofwherein said at least one supporting leg is bent outwardly and extends out of a plane beyond said second surface area of said lower rim.
