ADJUSTABLE RACK

摘要

A support rack for holding a plurality of pans includes a first side frame including a first vertical support member and a second vertical support member, and a second side frame including a first vertical support member and a second vertical support member. A hinge assembly couples the first and second side frames and is operable to position the rack in a first position in which the first side frame and the second side frame are parallel and spaced a predetermined distance apart, a second position in which the first side frame and the second side frame are nonparallel, and a third position in which the first side frame and the second side frame are parallel but closer in proximity than the predetermined distance.

主权项

1. A support rack comprising:
a first side frame including a first vertical support member and a second vertical support member; a second side frame including a first vertical support member and a second vertical support member, wherein the second vertical support members of the first and second side frames define a first plane; and a hinge assembly including a first hinge sub-assembly pivotable in a plane parallel to the first plane and coupling the second vertical support members of the first and second side frames and a second hinge sub-assembly pivotably coupled to the first side frame and the second side frame for pivoting the first and second side frames relative to each other, the second hinge sub-assembly pivotable in a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane, wherein the hinge assembly is operable to position the first side frame from a first position relative to the second side frame to a second position relative to the second side frame, wherein in the second position the first and second side frames are nonparallel relative to each other and the second vertical support members of the first and second side frames are closer in proximity to each other than the first vertical support members are to each other.
