Abstract
Abstract A cymbal display and storage rack is shown which includes a plurality of overhead supports and a plurality of dividers at the base which provide for storage of cymbals on edge. The rack has a base with supporting feet and elongated upwardly extending supports rebent at the top to provide an overhang extending toward the viewer. A plurality of upwardly extending posts provide support for displaying cymbals. A plurality of posts extending downwardly from the overhang provide overhead support for cymbals at the top of the rack. Support rods having their opposite ends bend 90° in opposite directions are pivotally supported at one end by the upwardly extending supports to support cymbals at their outer, upwardly extending ends and to allow pivotal movement between an inner position for display and an outer position product testing. The pivotal support rods may be supported on the upwardly extending supports or on cross members extending therebetween. At the bottom of the rack, a plurality of upwardly extending divider elements are spaced at selected intervals across the base to provide for storage of cymbals on edge therebetween.
