Embodiment Construction

[0012]Referring to FIG. 1, in a preferred embodiment, the inventive stemware rack 10 comprises container 11, which generally has the shape of an elongated rectangular box. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the container defines an interior space for holding the feet of a plurality of stemware pieces 31 resting on the bottom of the container. The feet of these stemware pieces can be placed inside the container and pushed further in or removed therefrom by grasping the stems of the stemware pieces through gap 12 and moving the stemware pieces along the bottom either into or out of the interior space.

[0013]In a preferred embodiment, as depicted in FIG. 1, the gap occupies a central portion of the bottom. In an especially preferred embodiment, the gap runs the entire length of the bottom. However, it is also possible for the gap to be positioned more to one side than the other and / or for the gap to run less than the entire length of the bottom. The gap is usually straight, but this is not req...
