Expand-a-platter/tray

Abstract

A platter/tray holder consisting of tracks within tracks that expands to the length of the insides of a cabinet. Wires, in the shape of the inverted letter U, are, inserted vertically through holes in the tracks to fix the tracks and serve as separators to the platters, trays, plates, etc. The tracks, supported by legs, are themselves mounted on glides. The glides, attached to the bottom of the cabinet, slide in a perpendicular direction to the tracks and allow the entire platter/tray to be glided in and out of the cabinet for easy viewing and utilization.

I Claim:  
     
         1 . An Expandable Platter/Tray structure comprising the edges of a box-like frame in which there are rails parallel to and above one another on one end, connected together at each end by a leg perpendicular to the flat of the rails; and a like set of opposing parallel rails connected to the former rails by cross bars; 
 and a like set of four rails connected by cross bars slidably contained within the frame of the first set of parallel rails such that the inner sets of rails on each side are directly between and parallel to the rails of the frame;    and the inner set of rails having a leg at one end outside of the frame and a control member connected to the other end by which that end may rest on but is contained from lateral movement of the rails;    
     
     
         2 . The rails having a plurality of aligned spaced holes such that at certain spacings the holes from the rails, one atop another, are vertically aligned, and with the insertion of wire through the holes, relative movement between the rails is prevented, and the wires may go through two or four rails on each side.  
     
     
         3 . The three sets of legs are mounted on slides such that slidable movement of the structure is possible on the same plane as the bottom of the legs but perpendicular to the rails.
