Abstract

A rack for holding a plurality of flat articles includes three elongated supports each having a longitudinal axis and each having longitudinal ends. Linking elements are connected to the elongated supports for supporting the elongated supports in a position in which the longitudinal axes of the elongated supports are parallel to one another and in which the longitudinal ends of the elongated supports are disposed at the apexes of a triangle. A pivotal mounting pivotably mounts at least one of the linking elements on at least one of the elongated supports to enable changing the relative position between the at least one elongated support and the at least one other elongated support. A plurality of spaced and parallel flange members are provided on each of the elongated supports for supporting edge portions of the flat articles in the spaces between the flange members.
