CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This non-provisional patent application claims priority to the provisional application having Ser. No. 60/641,870 filed on Jan. 5, 2005 which claims priority to the patent application having Ser. No. 10/676,980, filed on Oct. 1, 2003, and which application claims priority to the provisional patent application having Ser. No. 60/416,423, filed on Oct. 7, 2002. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Various types of wire racks, and all types of shelving racks, have long been available. In addition, organizers for closets have been available for some time, assembling various wire or other components to add supplemental storage and shelving particularly within a closet. Usually, most of these types of racks are generally supported upon the floor, some may be suspended, or have shelving applied to the wall, or other vertical surface, and generally disclose a plurality of integral shelving for use for storing almost any goods, including tools, hardware, lumber, canned goods, and any of a variety of materials. In addition, there are a number of publications that show embodiments for shelving, that also may be appended directly to the wall, wherein a support means, such as a bracket, will adhere the shelving directly to the vertical wall, door, or the like, generally through the usage of some type of fastening, and then secures a series of cantilever shelving from the support means, to readily dispose a plurality of shelving for storage and suspension of a variety of goods. A patent to the Applicant herein, No. 6,286,691, shows shelving for suspension from rafters. [0003] It is, therefore, the enhancements of this current invention to provide uniquely designed components formed into the assembly of structural supports, upon which shelving may be pressure fitted, at any level, and have linking shelving between sections, all generally constructed of wire materials, and can be immediately assembled from its flattened and storage condition into erected shelving, for accommodation within the space provided, and which rests upon the floor, ground, or the like, having enhanced ability for supporting a variety of types of items or other household goods, on the same. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates generally to a storage and organizer type of rack, assembled from a variety of wire formed components, which when assembled, furnish a series of vertically aligned shelving, in various sections, that may be integrated together and because of its pressure fitting, during assembly, becomes reasonably self-supporting, and can remain stably erect, even when ladened with a variety of stored and displayed items. Various sections of this shelving may be of variable height, so that while, for example, the outer sections may be established at a height from the floor to the ceiling, the middle section may simply include one or two shelves, that are at a more convenient level, to add to the dexterity and versatility of usage of this shelving depending upon the type of space available to accommodate it. This invention adapts itself to custom designing of shelving. Essentially, the various sections of shelving can be erected to furnish complete organization to a select space, whether it be in a garage, basement, or even along a wall, as in a closet, as may be required by the circumstances. Through usage of this invention very efficient organization can be made for storage within the home, business, or other establishment. [0005] The invention contemplates the formation of one or more wire racks, that may include one or more shelving, usually fabricated from metal wire, and which are integrated together by means of pressure fit, fasteners, or the like, into a unified structure, as when erected. Under these conditions, a series of shelves, connected by pressure, fit into end frames. This forms a storage type of multi-shelved rack. When a pair or more of these type of racks have been assembled, various of the shelving may additionally be extended, at select heights, between and intermediate previously assembled racks, in order to furnish full shelving of substantial width, that may fit within a particular area, such as along the wall of a closet, to furnish precise location of shelving positions where it is needed and desired, by the user, and which can store a variety of items, or even have hangers applied to it, for the hanging of clothing. Various rods may locate within each of the wire racks, and which span across the back of the rack, in order to provide stability, where this may be necessary, and to further sustain and support the erection of the entire assembled rack, once the shelving has been applied thereto. In addition, such support rods may also extend diagonally, or crosswise, between racks, where intermediate shelving is provided, where a pair or more of such racks are arranged in adjacency, but provide for intermediate shelving therebetween, as can be understood. [0006] Each of the sections of the racks includes a series of end frames, each generally formed having at least a pair of vertical support rods, and further includes a variety of transverse cross rods, and onto which the shelving is located, as the rack is being assembled. Each of the end frames may have a series of integral or connected cross rods, to add stability to each end frame, when erected, and to also function to provide further support and structural integrity, to the end frames, when erected. In addition, the bottom of each vertical support rod may also include a cap, or other foot, in the assembled structure, to provide the rack with stable support, when erected, in place for usage. [0007] Each of the shelving includes a series of longitudinal rods, and further includes a series of shelf forming rods, that are soldered, welded, or otherwise transversely secured to the longitudinal rods, when forming each individual shelf. In addition, each shelf includes a lower longitudinal rod, at both the front and back of the shelves, with the shelf forming rods being bent downwardly, at both their front and back edges, and soldered or welded into place with the lower longitudinal rods, to add substantial structural support and strength to each length of shelving, as at both the front and back edges of the assembled shelf, to afford further structural strength to the shelf, when laden with stored goods or material. [0008] The intermediate rack section will simply be the provision of pressure fitting shelving, between the rack sections, where shelving can be located upon the various cross rods, generally at horizontal alignment, to add intermediate shelving to a pair of the assembled racks, and all of which may be self-sustaining and supported for structural integrity through the pressure fitting of the shelving, within the various rack sections, and the intermediate section, when the entire organizer is assembled. [0009] The back of each of the end frames, and the intermediate section between sectional racks, may include means for enhancing support, and to which a diagonal brace, or cross braces, may connect, in order to add further to the structural strength and erectness of each of the end frames, and each assembled sectional rack, or such bracing or cross bracing may simply be assembled between rack sections, and add substantial structural integrity to the entire organizer, once assembled on location and for usage. This adds structural strength and erectness to the end frames, the rack sections, and the intermediate shelving sections, when supporting all of their shelves, as when the rack is assembled. [0010] It is significant that all of the various components as defined herein, and to be analyzed in detail, when the rack is in a disassembled state, or when initially fabricated, can be layered into a generally flattened configuration, for storage, shipment, or when displayed for sale, as at the retail level. But, when purchased by a consumer, the rack can be immediately assembled and erected, into a versatile type of organizer of the type that may be required by the consumer, to fit within the confines of a particular area within a garage, closet, or the like, that is available to the consumer for organized storage. Hence, the multi-sectional shelves and racks may be assembled for immediate usage, and in a minimum of time and effort. Actually, no other fasteners are needed to promptly assemble a rack. [0011] Hence, the essence of this invention is to provide the formation of a free standing wire shelving and organizer, that utilizes the pressure fit concept of applying various shelves within the structure of the organizer. For example, when a pair of such shelving sections are assembled, and then intermediate shelving is applied between each pair of shelving sections, this intermediate shelving may be applied onto the various cross rods that are yet available for application of shelving thereto, so as to add stability between a pair of sections, through the use of the intermediate framework, to furnish a very stabilized, and free standing, shelving system or organizer. In addition, lateral type shelving sections can be applied to the formed shelving sections, or one of the same, extending to either side of the section, incorporate a lone end frame displaced from the side of a section, and include various levels of shelving therein, upon the aligned cross rods, to furnish supplemental or lateral shelving, of the pressure fit type, within the concept of this invention, to form the style of organizer required to fit the space available for storage. [0012] It is, therefore, the principal object of this invention to provide shelving, supported by end frames, which may be assembled into sectional shelving, and where one or more of such racks may have intermediate or lateral shelves applied thereto, all for resting upon the floor or other surface, but yet have full stability to furnish instant storage for items to be located thereon. [0013] Another object of this invention is to provide a supporting shelf, which is self-standing once assembled into a rack structure, wherein the shelving is pressure fitted within its various end frames, in order to initially provide structural support for the erected rack, or multiple sections of such assembled racks, when constructed into an organizer. [0014] Still another object of this invention is to provide the fabrication of a supporting shelf that may be formed into a multi-shelved rack, at various levels as selected by the user, and which may be rested for full support upon the floor. [0015] Another object is to provide shelving, which may be stored in a flattened condition, to facilitate its storage, transfer, or display in the market place. [0016] Yet another object of this invention is to provide a supporting shelf, including a variety of various height assembled shelving within a framework, that may be applied to the floor, is self-sustaining, has structural integrity, and may be held in position by means of various components, such as end frames, which when assembled together at the site of usage, may provide a multi-sectioned series of racks formed into an overall custom organizer. [0017] Still another object of this invention is to provide a portable type of shelving, that may be instantly and quickly assembled into a variety of multi-shelved racks, held together by pressure fitting shelving, and which may or may not include a series of back bracings, to form a very secure and stably erected organizer rack. [0018] Other objects may become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the description of the preferred embodiment provided herein. [0019] Other various components may be used in the structure of this storage rack, within the scope of this invention as defined, after a review of the summary of this invention, and when further considered in conjunction with the description of the preferred embodiment, in light of the drawings accompanying this disclosure.
