Bottle support insert

Abstract

A bottle support system designed for commercial and residential storage of single bottles. The design consists of one or more wavy surfaces that have a section with the shape of a periodic wave, where the distance representing the period of the wave allows bottles to sit in secure manner. The first row of bottles sitting on the wavy surface, creates the base for the second row. Multiple rows can be stacked on each other creating an space efficient bottle storage. This simple and inexpensive design, allows transforming any horizontal surface like a wood shelf, wire-frame shelf or cabinet space into a high density bottle storage, adding strength to the structural base and creating a solid support for several rows of bottles.

The bottle support system presented in this invention can accommodate bottles with different diameters and lengths using the same parts.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a bottle support insert used to store bottles on a conventional shelf. More specifically, the present invention relates to a very efficient system of modules that can be added to any type of horizontal support to convert the space into a high density bottle support.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Storage of bottles in residential or commercial environments has historically been achieved by using simple frames and supports to prevent the bottles from moving or falling. Several designs can be found made of wood, metal, plastics or combinations thereof. However, none of the above designs are particularly space efficient. In fact, these conventional designs create voids between bottles that reduce the total bottle storage capacity for a given space, effectively reducing the efficiency of the storage system.[0003]Existing bottle racks and trays are typically design to be self-supported making the solution more expens...

Benefits of technology

[0008]The shape of the sections of the base surfaces are designed to make bottles with round sections sit in two touching points or lines, preventing the bottle from rocking side to side.

[0009]Each bottle support insert can be adjusted to different bottle lengths. In the first embodiment described (A), different lengths of bottles can be accommodated by changing the relative position between the base surfaces that hold the bottles. In th
