Abstract:

The invention is directed to a support rack for a container whereby consumers can access items stored within the container. The support rack comprises an arrangement of frame members, namely a first side frame member, a second side frame member, a front cross member extending between the first and second side frame members, and a rear cross member extending between the first and second side frame members. The support rack also includes an internal receiver that removably receives the container. The receiver is defined by an extent of each of the first and second side frame members, as well as a front internal member and a rear internal member, wherein both the front and rear internal members extend between the first and second side frame members. The rear cross member includes at least one connector that couples with a mounting structure, such as an open top cooler found in grocery stores. The support rack further includes a plate extending between the first side frame member and the second side frame member, wherein the plate is positioned above the front cross member and can accept a label that identifies the type and/or price of the items within the container.
