` IMPROVEMENT mzcLo'rHEs-Dnlens.

` Schedule referred to in' these Letters-Patent and making part of thefsarae.

To all1vho-itiuty rincari-i,.- V i i Be it known4 that: I, ,WILLIAMA DAGGETT, of

Landis Township, in thev count-y of Cumberland and: y ,State of New Jersey, have inventedA certain 'new and useful` Improvements in Clothes-Racks, and I do hereby declare that the `following is afull, clear, and

exact description thereof', reference being had tothe f l accompanying drawing, andlto thele'tters of reference `marked thereon, which form` a partfof' this specifi# .cation.'

` The natlire of my invention "consists inthe con?.

,struction and arrangeineritgofa clothes-rack, as will `be hereinafter fullyset forth."` i f In order to enable -iothers' skilledv in the 4artj-,to

.whichmy'invention appertains to make and usetlie same, I will nowproceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to` the annexed drawingin which-.- i i Figure 1 is afiiontview,and I. Figure 2, an eudfview of my iinprovedclothes-rack. i A A repiesenttwo,swinging brackets, and' B B,thesnpportsfor. the same,rnade of any suit- The supports B B are 0n` the topi of 'each is formed a hook,

are securedin a plumb position against the wallQand i liaveeach a1ip,i1,at Athe upper and '1o\ver"e`uds, with "a hole through-each; r f

h The inner Vendsof the brackets A have correspond-` ing holes, so that when placed together, ablt,cl, may 1 be passed down, whichv completes the "han ging and the hinging of the'brackets. The hinged ends ofthe brackets are made to stand secured to the wall by the horizontal until they reach the place where the first bar is` attached. `From this point the bracket slopes i or angles downward, enough toallow the bars to pass under eachother, when the rack is closed around against the wall. Y

At suit-able spaces on 'the brackets are bearings, e, for each bar, the upper surfaces of which are level, and

projcotto one side thevidth of the bar that is-to rest upon it. V'lhsbearn,.,r has `a. hole through the center,

in which is passedV upa bolt or "screw to secure the bars `D in position, and allows the brackets to swing around under the bars. A

When the rack is extended out from .the wall, the

fbarsacross their ends forman angle to the wall. 'An o equalreverse` angle-is formedwhen the rack is closed arund against the wall. Y O n the under edge. of the brackets A, are hooks, f,

`to which other bars, D', are suspended byvroords. v I @On the front edge of the bars D are hooks, 11whiclr' are available for use when the rack is closed.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Tile brackets A A with their bearings e e, and hooks; ff, in combination with bars D D and supports B B,

all' constructed and arranged asshown, and for the vpurpose described..

In-te'stimony that I claim the foregoing as my own,

affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. WILLAM A. DAGGETT.
