Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a need for a gardening rack that is easier to assemble, disassemble, and move around than current racks. The current racks are heavy, not easily collapsible, and require multiple people to assemble and disassemble. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a lighter, more modular gardening rack that can be easily assembled and disassembled by a single person."

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of the current state of the art gardening rack are firstly that these racks are extremely heavy in that they are made entirely of steel including the shelf material.

Abstract

The present device a modular collapsible gardening rack includes a base; vertical uprights demountably attached at one end to the base; cross members demountably attached at each end to the vertical uprights; and a flexible shelf connected at each side to one cross member thereby defining a shelf panel there between. The shelving material includes shelf pockets at preselected pocket spacings, the pockets for connecting the shelf to the cross members by inserting the cross members there through. Preferably in a collapsed position the demounted vertical uprights and the demounted cross members are rolled up inside the flexible shelf and into a storage position.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority from previously filed U.S. provisional patent application 61 / 324,488 titled Modular Collapsible Gardening Rack by Archie Vermeer on Apr. 15, 2010.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present device relates to gardening racks in particular relate to a modular and collapsible gardening rack that can be used for storage of goods typically sold in gardening centers.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Currently gardening racks used in the gardening industry are made entirely of steel and are available with or without wheels for being able to roll the gardening rack from one location to the other.[0004]The base and uprights typically are made of steel as are each individual shelf. Present day gardening racks can be partially disassembled in that the one-piece steel shelves can be removed from the vertical uprights such that one is able to disassemble the current state of the art gardening rack into individual rigid steel shelves as well as a base and ver...
