연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

청구항

1. A storage rack for storing at least one item, comprising: a. a frame structure for holding the at least one item, comprising: a front and two opposing and substantially planar sides and at least one connecting member, and an interior defined therebetween, wherein: i. the two opposing sides are fixed in a position substantially parallel to each other by the at least one connecting member;ii. the at least one connecting member is approximately perpendicular to the opposing sides; and,iii. the opposing sides and at least one connecting member having sufficient symmetry such that at least one plane of symmetry exists between and perpendicular to the opposing sides;b. at least first and second pairs of apertures extending through the two opposing sides of the frame sufficiently large to receive at least one of the items to be stored in the storage rack; and,c. at least one light reflective surface disposed in the at least one plane of symmetry within the frame structure in such an orientation as to: i. reflect a portion of the interior of the frame that visually resembles another adjacent portion of the interior of the frame that is hidden by the at least one light reflective surface, andii. hide from view at least part of the one or more items to be stored;wherein the first and second pairs of apertures are symmetrically positioned on opposite sides of the light reflective surface, such that when the item is placed into one of the apertures on one side of the frame structure, behind the light reflective surface, and into another one of the apertures on the opposing side of the frame structure, all or part of the item stored in the apertures is hidden from view, when viewed from the front, by the at least one light reflective surface. 2. The rack of claim 1, wherein the planar sides and apertures form a lattice-type structure. 3. The rack of claim 1, wherein the shape of the two opposing sides of the frame structure is a regular polygon. 4. The rack of claim 3, wherein the regular polygon is selected from: triangular, substantially square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal. 5. The rack of claim 3, wherein the frame, further comprises: at least first and second panels, all substantially similar in appearance to each other, which extend between the two opposing sides of the frame connecting two or more of the straight edges of the opposing sides, the first panel being positioned such that its reflection in the light reflective surface appears to the observer to be the second panel. 6. The rack of claim 1, wherein the shape of the two opposing sides of the frame structure is circular or an irregular but substantially symmetrical curve. 7. The rack of claim 6, wherein the frame, further comprises: at least one curved panel whose curve conforms to the shape of the circumferences of the two opposing sides, and which extend between the two opposing sides along predetermined portions of the circumference of the side of the frame structure, the curved panel being positioned such that the reflection in the light reflective surface of at least part of the curved panel appears to the observer to be a different part of the curved panel. 8. The rack of claim 1, wherein the apertures are sufficient to store an item selected from: bottles, jars, cans, writing utensils, measuring instruments, office instruments, and umbrellas. 9. The rack of claim 8, wherein the apertures and at least one connecting member are sufficient to store a wine bottle. 10. The rack of claim 8, wherein the apertures and at least one connecting member are sufficient to store writing utensils. 11. The rack of claim 1, wherein the width of the rack is narrower than the length of the item to be stored. 12. The rack of claim 11, wherein the width of the rack is at least as wide as the length of the item to be stored. 13. The rack of claim 1, wherein the frame structure further comprises: at least one leg attached to the frame structure. 14. The rack of claim 1, wherein the frame structure is capable of being mounted on a vertical surface. 15. The rack of claim 1, wherein the size of the frame structure is proportioned to rest on a desktop or tabletop. 16. The rack of claim 1, wherein the frame structure is fabricated with at least one material selected from: wood, fabric, leather, metal, glass, and a polymeric substance. 17. The rack of claim 1, wherein the light reflective surface is reflective on both of its sides. 18. The rack of claim 1, wherein: (a) the shape of the two opposing sides of the frame structure is a regular polygon; (b) the frame structure is fabricated from wood; and, (c) the apertures and at least one connecting member are sufficient to store a wine bottle. 19. The rack of claim 18, wherein: the shape of the two opposing sides of the frame structure is square or rectangular and the width of the rack is narrower than a bottle of wine, whereby the top and bottom of the wine bottle being stored can extend beyond the width of the rack. 20. A method of assembling an illusionary storage rack by creating the illusion of empty space where one or more items on display reside, comprising: a. providing a frame structure for holding the at least one item, comprising: a front and two opposing and substantially planar sides and at least one connecting member, and an interior defined therebetween, wherein: i. the two opposing sides are fixed in a position substantially parallel to each other by the at least one connecting member;ii. the at least one connecting member is approximately perpendicular to the opposing sides; and,iii. the opposing sides and at least one connecting member having sufficient symmetry such that at least one plane of symmetry exists between and perpendicular to the opposing sides;b. providing at least first and second pairs of apertures extending through the two opposing sides of the frame sufficiently large to receive at least one of the items to be stored in the storage rack; and,c. providing at least one light reflective surface disposed in the at least one plane of symmetry within the frame structure in such an orientation as to:i. reflect a portion of the interior of the frame that visually resembles another adjacent portion of the interior of the frame that is hidden by the at least one light reflective surface, and ii. hide from view at least part of the one or more items to be stored; wherein the at least first and second pairs of apertures are symmetrically positioned on opposite sides of the at least one light reflective surface, such that when the item is placed into one of the apertures on one side of the frame structure, behind the light reflective surface, and into another one of the apertures on the opposing side of the frame structure, all or part of the item stored in the apertures is hidden from view, when viewed from the front, by the at least one light reflective surface.
