Abstract
The Spray Stack is a portable drying rack for objects that have been painted, stained, or otherwise finished and need to be dried or stored until use. The Spray Stack has a set of interlocking arms that are notched and connect at two points along each arm. Arms stack together in a cross hatched manner in sets of two. These arms are stacked and interlocked with identically structured arms laying perpendicular and across them creating a three-dimensional shape similar to a number sign (#) when seen from above. The arms are slightly angled up at the end to an approximate five-degree pitch. The arm assembly is stacked upon a wheeled base that folds in half for easy storage and portability. The assembly of the arms and their stacking onto the unfolded base can be done without any tools and in a confined area.
Claims
1. The invention is a rack comprised of levels of notched, interlocking, stacking arms, with two parallel arms per level. Each level's arms are perpendicular to the arms on the level above and below. The lowest level arms insert into a wheeled base without hardware. The levels are created by the arms being stacked upon each other and which interlock without hardware.
