Abstract
This storage mount is designed to support objects that have rounded or conical bases (e.g., ceramic jars and baskets). The rims of these objects often are not structurally engineered to bear the weight of the object, thus they should not be stored upside down or resting on their side. The cradle mount supports objects at the base to avoid placing stress on the potentially weak rim areas.
