A rack formed by a window-like framework is adapted to support various holders for organizing articles in a cabinet and is adapted to be pulled from a stored position in the cabinet to an accessible position in which substantially the entire rack is disposed completely outside the cabinet. The rack is carried by a bottom-supported mounting assembly having pivoted arms which collapse toward one another as the rack is moved inwardly to its stored position and expand away from one another to form a double-triangular bracing structure as the rack is pulled outwardly to its accessible position. The arms coact with guide rollers on the bottom of the cabinet to hold the rack stable in each of its positions without need of any top support for the rack. One of the holders which is supported by the rack is a wire-grid book shelf equipped with an adjustable bookend which is held by the grids of the shelf.

A pull-out rack for a cabinet having a bottom wall and having a front opening, said rack having interconnected front and rear upright frame members spaced from one another, means on said front and rear frame members for supporting various holders in vertically spaced relation, and means mounting said rack for inward and outward movement between a stored position located completely within the cabinet and an accessible position in which substantially the entire rack is located completely outside the cabinet, said mounting means comprising a first pivot arm having upper and lower end portions, means supporting the lower end portion of said first pivot arm to pivot about a laterally extending horizontal axis located adjacent the rear end of the bottom wall of the cabinet, means connecting the upper end portion of said first pivot arm to said rack intermediate the ends of said rear frame member to slide upwardly and downwardly relative to said rear frame member and to pivot about a laterally extending horizontal axis relative to said rear frame member, said connecting means comprising an upright rod secured to and spaced rearwardly from the rear side of said rear frame member, a block slidable upwardly and downwardly on said rod, and a bracket fixed to the upper end portion of said first pivot arm and pivotally connected to said block, a second pivot arm having upper and lower end portions, means connecting the upper end portion of said second pivot arm to said first pivot arm intermediate the ends thereof to pivot about a laterally extending horizonal axis, means supporting the lower end portion of said second pivot arm to said rack adjacent the lower end portion of said rear frame member to pivot about a laterally extending horizontal axis, said pivot arms being upright and being collapsed adjacent one another with said second pivot arm disposed between said first pivot arm and said rear frame member when said rack is in said stored position, said pivot arms pivoting in opposite directions when said rack is pulled outwardly to said accessible position and expanding during such pivoting to cause a first triangle to be formed by said bottom wall, said second pivot arm and the lower section of said first pivot arm and to cause a second triangle to be formed by said rear frame member, said second pivot arm and the upper section of said first pivot arm, horizontal guide track means extending between said upper and lower frame members adjacent the lower ends thereof, and roller means mounted on the front end portion of the bottom wall of the cabinet to turn about a laterally extending horizontal axis and coacting with said track means to guide said rack for inward and outward movement between said stored and accessible positions.
