No. 28503.—28th September, 1910.—JOHN MUSTON, of Auckland, New Zealand, Wire-worker. An improved rack for holding and displaying cups and saucers and other like articles.

Extract from Specification.—Attached to the side bars A are a number of lengths of wire C which extend first outward from each bar, then upward for a short distance, and then across the space between the bars. These wires thus form rests behind which saucers may be placed so that the saucer placed behind each wire will rest its lower edge upon the portions of the wire adjacent to the bars and will thus be supported thereon. These wires are arranged at regular distances apart up the height of the bars. Arranged alternately with the saucer-rests C are the cup-hooks D, each one of which is made of a single length of wire doubled over at its middle and bent into the hook form shown in Fig. 2 at the doubled end. The two portions are then carried downward together for a short distance, and are then caused to diverge to each side as shown in Fig. 1, and are bent inwards and fastened to the respective bars A.
