Extendable rack

Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides an extendable rack adapted for retaining one or more cantilever support(s) and also adapted for attaching to a panel via a slide. The extendable rack comprises an elongated body including, at one side, a longitudinal channel for retaining one or more cantilever support(s); and, at another side, a longitudinal passage adapted for locating almost entirely the slide and for attaching permanently one side of it. Another side of the slide is firmly secured to the panel. In one embodiment, the longitudinal channel is C-shaped in cross section. Opposing niches are formed. Each opposing niche is adapted to capture at least a flange of at least one of several cantilever supports. In another embodiment, instead of the longitudinal channel, the elongated horizontal body comprises a central longitudinal wall extending, close to its top, outwardly and upwardly and forming a longitudinal top recess. Close to its bottom, the central longitudinal wall extends outwardly and downwardly forming a longitudinal bottom recess. The longitudinal top and bottom recesses are functionally equivalent to the niches. In another embodiment, the elongated horizontal body is provided with a central longitudinal wall extending, from midway of its height, outwardly, then upwardly and downwardly. Thus, longitudinal top and bottom recesses equivalent to the above recesses are formed.
