Abstract

A bottle rack including a support member; through-holes formed through the support member; sets of support rods extending horizontally through the through-holes wherein a portion of the support rods extend a distance outward from opposing faces of the support member, wherein each set of support rods include two horizontally adjacent support rods. A method of installing a bottle rack including mounting a support member on or to a mounting surface, the support member including through-holes; and attaching sets of support rods, including two horizontally adjacent support rods, to the support member via the through-holes such that the support rods extend horizontally through the through-holes such that a portion of the support rods extend a distance outward from opposing faces of the support member. A kit including a support member; and sets of support rods, wherein each set of support rods include two horizontally adjacent support rods.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bottle rack, comprising:
 a. a support member;   b. through-holes formed through the support member; and   c. sets of support rods extending horizontally through the through-holes such that a portion of the support rods extend a distance outward from opposing faces of the support member, and wherein each set of support rods comprise two horizontally adjacent support rods.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  further comprising at least one mounting plate configurable to secure the support member to at least one mounting surface. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle rack of  claim 2  wherein the at least one mounting surface comprises at least one of a floor, a ceiling, a wall, and a countertop. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein the through-holes comprise a diameter substantial equal to or slightly greater than a diameter of the support rods. 
     
     
         5 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein a diameter of the through-holes are configured to hold the support rods inserted therethrough in place via a friction fit. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein an on-center spacing between the two adjacent support rods of a set of support rods is configured to support a standard wine bottle. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein an on-center spacing between the two support rods of a set of support rods is 2⅜ inches. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein an on-center spacing between neighboring support rods of adjacent sets of support rods is 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle rack of  claim 1  wherein the through-holes are configured in one or more of rows and columns. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle rack of  claim 9  wherein an on-center distance between vertically adjacent rows of support rods is 5 inches. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle rack of  claim 2  wherein the at least one mounting plate is attached to at least one end of the support member. 
     
     
         12 . The bottle rack of  claim 2  wherein the mounting plate is configured to secure the support member in a vertical orientation. 
     
     
         13 . A method of installing a bottle rack, the method comprising:
 a. mounting a support member on or to a mounting surface, the support member comprising through-holes formed therethrough; and   b. attaching sets of support rods, comprise two horizontally adjacent support rods, to the support member via the through-holes such that the support rods extend horizontally through the through-holes such that a portion of the support rods extend a distance outward from opposing faces of the support member.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the support member is mounted to the mounting surface via a mounting plate. 
     
     
         15 . A kit, comprising:
 a. a support member; and   b. sets of support rods, wherein each set of support rods comprise two horizontally adjacent support rods.   
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 15  further comprising a mounting plate. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 15  wherein the support member comprises a number of through-holes formed therethrough, the through-holes having a diameter sized to accommodate the support rods. 
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 17  wherein the support rods of the sets of support rods comprise a length such that when positioned in the through-holes a portion thereof extends outward from each opposing face of the support member. 
     
     
         19 . The kit of  claim 18  wherein the portion of the support rods that extend outward from each opposing face of the support member is of a sufficient length to support a standard wine bottle in a horizontal position thereon.
