Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
Apparatus for use with a heat glue gun comprising: a generally flat metal base member; a wire structure fastened to and extending away from said base member, said wire structure including first and second main members each having a substantially horizontal portion a distance "H" from the base member and a slat portion angled from the horizontal portion towards the base member, the main members being fastened to the base member a distance "W" apart; said wire structure further including a plurality of cross braces each having a first portion fastened to said first main member and a second portion fastened to said second main member, a first pair of cross braces and the horizontal portions of the main members forming a first outline of predetermined configuration; a second pair of cross braces and the slant portions of the main members forming a second outline of predetermined configuration; a tray member sized to fit within the first configuration and the second configuration operating to permit the stacking of first extra glue sticks; and U-shaped means on said wire structure, lying at an acute angle to the base member and extending beyond the distance "W" by an amount "B" so as to hold a glue gun in a position which allows any excess glue therefrom to drip onto said base.
