Abstract:

A rack for holding knives comprising a housing including parallel first and second sidewalls interconnected by a base and having an opening therebetween, fasteners for mounting the housing to an associated surface such that the sidewalls are vertically oriented, and a plurality of partition members disposed in a stacked relationship on the base between and vertically movable within the sidewalls, each member being formed from a unitary body of resilient material including an elongated portion having a blade-holding surface and terminating in a blade guiding portion disposed in a facing relationship to the opening, the blade-holding surface of a first member being disposed subjacent the blade-guiding portion of a second member and cooperating therewith to form a blade-holding recess, whereby when the blade of a knife is inserted into the rack the blade-guiding portion serves to guide the tip of the blade into the recess forcing the members above the knife upward to accommodate the blade, the weight of the members above the knife serving to maintain the blade in the recess.
