Abstract:
A shoe carousel particularly suitable for use in closets and other confined areas comprises a series of rotatable wire rack members spaced apart and coaxially mounted upon a central shaft so that each respective wire rack member rotates independently at separate locations along the shaft. The shaft is adapted to be stationed upon a floor surface in a substantially vertical position supported within a base stand and may be adjustable in its length to provide floor to ceiling engagement when necessary. The wire rack members are separately mounted and supported upon the shaft in substantially horizontal planes and are specially formed to hold and display a variety of shoes upon the surface of the rack member. Each rack member is constructed from a plurality of radial spokes centrally connected to a hub member at inner ends of the spokes. The radial spokes are each further formed having a downwardly inclined segment to provide each rack member with a conically-shaped framework with the outermost ends of the radial spokes each being formed at an acute angle relative to the inclined segment that provides a substantially vertical rim raised around the bottom of each rack member.
