referring to fig1 , a cup rack 1 in accordance with the present invention is shown for holding a plurality of cups 2 or like objects in a good order . in this embodiment , the cups 2 each comprise a cup body 21 , and a seal film 22 for sealing coffee , tea , or any of a variety of other powdered or grained food or brewing materials in the cup body 21 after filling of nitrogen gas in the cup body 21 . the cup rack 1 comprises an upright rack body 11 and a base 12 . the upright rack body 11 defines a top opening 13 , a bottom opening 14 , and a passage 15 in communication between the top opening 13 and the bottom opening 14 for accommodating the cups 2 in such a manner that the top and bottom sides of the cups 2 respectively face the opposing left and right sides of the passage 15 and the body of each cup 2 faces the opposing front and rear sides of the passage 15 , i . e ., the cups 2 are individually put into the passage 15 through the top opening 13 . the base 12 is adapted to receive the cups 2 , wherein the lowest cup 2 can be taken out of the cup rack 1 through the base 12 . this will be explained further . referring to fig2 , an enlarged view of the base 12 of the cup rack 1 is shown . as illustrated , the base 12 comprises two limiter members 16 , a rear baffle member 17 , and a receiving member 18 . the two limiter members 16 have the respective top ends thereof connected to the upright rack body 11 and respectively disposed at the left and right sides relative to the passage 15 . the rear baffle member 17 has the top end thereof connected to the upright rack body 11 and disposed at the back side relative to the passage 15 . the receiving member 18 has the rear end thereof connected to the bottom end of the rear baffle member 17 , and the front end thereof defining with the two limiter members 16 an access port 19 . the receiving member 18 is adapted to receive the cups 2 shown in fig1 , wherein the cups 2 can pass through the access port 19 , i . e ., the access port 19 allows the cups 2 to pass therethrough . in this embodiment , the two limiter members 16 , the rear baffle member 17 and the receiving member 18 are preferably made of stainless steel wire rods , iron wire rods , or plated metal wire rods . iron wire rods electroplated with chrome to provide corrosion resistance . other corrosion resistant material may be used . the rear baffle member 17 comprises two baffle rods 171 ; 172 . the receiving member 18 comprises two support rods 181 ; 182 and one upright rod 183 . the two support rods 181 ; 182 have the respective rear ends thereof respectively connected to the two baffle rods 171 ; 172 in a downwardly inclined manner relative to the two baffle rods 171 ; 172 . the upright rod 183 has the two opposing ends thereof respectively connected to the front ends of the two support rods 181 ; 182 and kept in vertical on the support rods 181 ; 182 . subject to the configuration of the receiving member 18 , the lowest cup 2 will naturally move along the support rods 181 ; 182 to the front ends of thereof and will be prohibited by the upright rod 183 from moving out of the base 12 . referring to fig3 , a left side view of fig2 is shown . the bottom end 171 a of the baffle rod 171 is disposed below the elevation of the bottom ends 16 a of the limiter members 16 . the upright rod 183 is disposed below the elevation of the limiters 16 . actually , the two baffle rods 171 ; 172 have the same length , i . e ., the bottom ends of the baffle rods 171 ; 172 are disposed below the elevation of the bottom ends of the limiter members 16 . the elevational clearance between the bottom end 171 a of the baffle rod 171 and the bottom ends 16 a of the limiter members 16 facilitates finger access to pick up the cup 2 . in actual practice , the bottom ends 16 a of the limiter members 16 can be lower than the elevation of the bottom ends 17 a of the baffle rods 171 ; 172 , and therefore what illustrated in fig3 is not a limitation . referring to fig4 , the upright rack body 11 comprises two rings 110 ; 111 , two rear upright rods 112 ; 113 , two left upright rods 114 ; 115 , two right upright rods 116 ; 117 , and a front rod 118 . each ring 110 ; 111 comprises a left straight segment 119 ; 120 , a right straight segment 121 ; 122 , a front arched segment 134 ; 124 , and a rear arched segment 125 ; 126 . the top and bottom ends of the rear upright rods 112 ; 113 are respectively connected to the respective inner sides of the rear arched segments 125 ; 126 of the rings 110 ; 111 in a parallel manner . the top and bottom ends of the left upright rods 114 ; 115 are respectively connected to the respective inner sides of the left straight segments 119 ; 120 of the rings 110 ; 111 in a parallel manner . the top and bottom ends of the right upright rods 116 ; 117 are respectively connected to the respective inner sides of the right straight segments 121 ; 122 of the rings 110 ; 111 in a parallel manner . the top and bottom ends of the front rod 118 are respectively connected to the respective inner sides of the front arched segments 123 ; 124 of the rings 110 ; 111 in a parallel manner . further , the two rings 110 ; 111 define the top opening 13 and the bottom opening 14 respectively . the passage 15 is defined by the two rear upright rods 112 ; 113 , the two left upright rods 114 ; 115 , the two rear upright rods 116 ; 117 and the front rod 118 . it is to be noted that the two limiter members 16 of the base 12 are respectively formed integral with the left upright rods 114 ; 115 and the right upright rods 116 ; 117 . the rear baffle members 17 and receiving member 18 of the base 12 are formed integral with the two rear upright rods 112 ; 113 , i . e ., these components are made by bending one single piece of metal wire rod into shape . in actual application , the upright cup body 11 can be made of a meshed or plate member and arranged around the two rings 1110 ; 111 to constitute an enclosed or semi - enclosed passage structure , forming the aforesaid passage 15 , and therefore , the upright cup body 11 is not limited to the aforesaid design . more particularly , the front rod 118 comprises a long straight segment 128 and two short straight segments 129 . the two short straight segments 129 are respectively disposed at the top and bottom ends of the long straight segment 128 at a predetermined angle and kept facing each other . thus , by means of changing the lengths of the short straight segments 129 , the front - back width of the passage 15 is relatively controlled . fig5 illustrates 5 pcs of the cup racks arranged together , forming a cup rack combination . as illustrated , these cup racks are abutted against one another side by side , and each two adjacent cup racks are connected together . in actual application , any predetermined number of cup racks can be arranged together . although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration , various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention . accordingly , the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims .
a cup rack includes an upright cup body for receiving multiple cups in a stack , and a base for supporting the storage cups in the upright cup body and defining an access port for finger access to pick up the cups individually .
