Abstract

The cup rack contains at least a lower rail suspended by at least two connection members. The connection members could be affixed to a bottom surface of a shelf or ceiling, or they could be slidably positioned in a pair of parallel upper rails. A number of hook members are hung across the lower rail. The positioning of the hook member is achieved by a bolt running through the hook member and into a block slidably positioned in the lower rail. Depending on how the block is oriented, the hook member could be locked to the lower rail or the hook member could be slid freely along the lower rail.
