The present invention embodies a novel modular rack and storage system for receiving and supporting planar articles such as stencils, frames, or the like. The rack includes at least one pair of opposed channels, with an upper channel of the pair being located vertically above a lower channel. Each channel has a retaining area facing the opposed channel, thereby forming a slot for receiving the edges of a planar article. The channels are mounted on a spaced pair of rectangular frames, with each frame having an elongate upper horizontal member and an elongate lower horizontal member. The upper and lower horizontal members are each supported on a first end by a first elongate vertical support and on a second end by a second elongate vertical support. The upper channels are mounted to the upper horizontal members and the lower channels are mounted to the lower horizontal members so that the channels hold the spaced frames in an upright position. A plurality of planar articles may be inserted into and retained within the slots formed by the opposed pairs of channels.

[ I claim:] [1.] A rack for receiving and supporting planar articles, said rack comprising:a) at least one pair of opposed channels, with an upper channel of said pair being located vertically above a lower channel of said pair, each said channel having a retaining area facing the opposed said channel for receiving an edge of a planar article; andb) a spaced pair of generally rectangular frames, each said frame having an elongate upper horizontal member and an elongate lower horizontal member, with said upper and lower horizontal members each being supported on a first end by a first elongate vertical support and on a second end by a second elongate vertical support, said upper channel being mounted to said upper horizontal members and said lower channel being mounted to said lower horizontal members, whereby said channels hold said spaced frames in an upright position, and further whereby the planar article may be inserted into and retained between said opposed pair of channels.
