BROOM-RACK.
Specification of Letters Eatent.
PatentedDec. 19, 1916.
Application filed December 27, 1915. Serial No. 68,889.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS CHESTER DELL, of the city of Niagara Falls South, in the county of Welland, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Racks, of which the following is the specification.
My invention relates to improvements in broom racks and the object of my invention is to devise a collapsible rack or holder in which the brooms are held in the upright position and kept apart with the heads down so that the brush ends may not be damaged, and it consists essentially of upright members carrying a horizontal member which is provided with extending portions adapted to grip the reduced portion of the head end of the broom, and an upper horizontal member against which the handles rest and which is provided with projections adapted to keep the handles of the broom separate.
Figure 1 is a general perspective view of my rack showing the manner of holding the brooms. Fig. 2 is an elevation of one of the end supporting standards. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top horizontal member. Fig. 4: is a plan section of my rack. Fig. 5 is a fragmental section through Fig. 4 along the line w y.
. In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
1 indicates brooms carried by the rack.
2 indicates feet for the rack.
3 indicates end supporting standards supported by the feet 2.
4: indicates a slotted hole in the standard comprising a wide portion 5 and a narrow portion 6.
7 indicates an open ended slot in the end of the standard 3.
8 indicates a horizontal member having end portions 9 provided with slots 10.
11 indicates curved members secured crosswise of the member 8.
12 indicates an upper horizontal member having a slotted end portion 13 and pro vided with projections 14.
Having described the principal parts involved in my invention I will briefly de-, scribe the construction of the same.
The upright standard 3 is rigidly secured to the foot 2. The reduced portion 9 of the horizontal member 8 is placed through the upper enlarged portion 5 of the hole 4: and is then slid down so that the slot 10 engages with the end standard 3 in the small portion 6 of the slotted hole 4. Both ends of the member 8 are thus secured in the end stand ards 3 and as the slotted portion 9 is made so as to fit snugly into the hole 6 a rigid and yet detachable joint is made. The curved members 11 are glued or otherwise secured in notches in the horizontal member 8. The upper horizontal member 12 is placed in position by sliding it in from above so that the slotted portion 13 is held in the open ended slot 7 by the extending portions of the end standard 3. The slotted portion is made to fit snugly in the slot 7 and hence the end posts are braced securely at the top bythe horizontal member 12 and lower by the hori zontal member 8. The projections 1 -1 may be of wood or metal and may be secured to the member 12 by passing therethrough as shown.
The brooms are held in the holder by sliding the reduced portion adjacent to the binding into the space between the curved portions 11 on the horizontal member 8. As the portions 11 are inclined in a downward direction toward the longitudinal center line of the rack they throw the handles of the brooms toward and against the upper horizontal member 12. Each of the projections 14% is directly above the corresponding curved member 11 and serves to keep the handles of adjacent brooms separate and in definite position.
In the holders now in use the brooms are held with the brush end up. This destroys the shape of the brush, is inconvenient for a customer wishing to test the broom to see if it is satisfactory as it must be reversed to try it and again reversed to insert it in the rack if unsatisfactory and if the rack is in front of a window the brushes obscure the view, whereas in my invention the brooms are held with the brush portion down thus preserving the shape of the broom, holding it in a convenient position for customers to try it and in a less obstructive manner. Hence it will be seen that I have devised very simple means for constructing a collapsible yet rigid holder in which the brooms are held in the most advantageous manner.
What I claim as my invention is:
A broom rack comprising two standards ing ends adapted to fit into and be engaged having a keyhole shaped slot near then by said keyhole shaped slot bases and an open ended slot in their upper ends, a removable upper cross piece having I THOMAS CHESTER D 5 a reduced portion near each end adapted to WVitnesses:
fit into and be engaged by said open ended A. WV. BENCH,
slots, and a removable lower cross piece hav- JEAN VVILLS.
