Abstract
A self-clamping wire rack is provided for magazines, cards, napkins, letters, and the like; the rack being formed in its basic configuration of a first wire rod which is bent to constitute the rear side of the rack and also to constitute a pair of rearwardly extending legs; and of a second wire rod bent to constitute the front side of the rack and also constitute a pair of forwardly extending legs; the two components of the rack being hinged to one another in a manner such that when the assembly is placed on a horizontal surface, the front and rear sides are turned angularly towards one another to exert a clamping force on the magazines, cards, or other articles supported on the rack between the front and rear sides of the rack, so as to maintain such articles in the rack.
