Interlocking syringe rack segments and syringe rack systems incorporating said segments
First Claim
1. A syringe rack segment for use in assembling a syringe rack, comprising:
- a rack segment body having a top, a bottom and opposing sides, the bottom of the rack segment being adapted to rest on a flat surface, the top of the rack segment comprising a plurality of syringe cradles, each adapted to hold a syringe therein;
attachment means on at least one of the opposing sides of the rack segment body for selectively interconnecting two or more of the rack segment bodies side by side to yield an assembled rack comprising a desired number of rack segment bodies.

Abstract
An assembled rack is provided for holding a set of syringes. The syringes may be conventional syringes or unique syringes that have a hollow elongated barrel engaged by a plunger with unique relative lengths. The assembled rack is made by interlocking smaller rack segments to create an assembled rack of any desired length. The assembled rack is configured to rest on a flat surface and hold the syringes so that the syringes are horizontal relative to the flat surface for easy viewing. The assembled rack has a series of cradles adapted to hold the barrels of syringes. To optionally stack one assembled rack on another assembled rack, the racks may have stacking prongs extending therefrom and corresponding recesses.
