Abstract

A portable storage rack for storing and displaying containers comprising a pair of pivotally joined planar base members positionable between a folded position wherein the base members are in back-to-back relation to facilitate easy, compact transport of the storage rack, and an unfolded position where the containers stored on the storage rack are all displayed. Each of the base members includes an outer container supporting surface having opposite ends, and each of the base members is provided with a pair of container support members for removably supporting a pair of containers in end-to-end relation adjacent the respective container supporting surface, each of the containers being slideably insertable between one of the pairs of support members from one of the opposite end portions of the container supporting surfaces so that the containers are always accessible regardless of whether the storage rack is folded or unfolded.
