Application filed June'2, 1916. Serial No. 101,241.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES V. THOMPSON,

a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, 1n the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Clothes- Racks; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and thecharacters of to'be a full, clear,-

reference marked thereon, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in

Figure l a face view of a clothes rack constructed in accordance with my invention, and indicated as attached to a hot water boiler.

Fig. 2 a top or plan view.

Fig. 3 a broken rear view of one of the straps illustrating means for connecting the ends.

This invention relates to an improvement in clothes racks, and while adapted to be connected with various forms of support, is parextend, the ends 9 and 10 being threaded for the reception of nuts 11 and 12. The.

rack-supporting hooks are formed from wires doubled upon themselves, the doubled end 13 bent to form a hook from which the wires extend upward over the strap i'and between that strap and the support 6, thence downward, and the ends formed with eyes 14 through which the strap 5 passes.

invention consists in the con-- lower strap passes, said bar The clothes bars 15 are also formed from wire Patented Mar. 20, 1917.

doubled at the center and the ends formed with eyes 16 which are located between the eyes 14 and through which the straps 5 pass so as to hinge the clothes bars to the lower strap. The position ofthe hooks 13 is such that when the clothes bars 15 are in a hori-. they will rest in the hooks zontal position, 7 l3 and be supported thereby. When disengaged from the hooks they will drop down into a substantially vertical position. As]

many hooks and bars maybe employed as the size of the boiler or the needs of the user may require. The hooks, bars and straps are readily formed from wire and can be readily assembled, and conveniently packed for shipment; and when in place provide a rigid rack.

I clalm 1- 1. A clothes rack comprising two straps adapted to be secured in place, a. bar-support formed from wire having an eye through which. one of the straps passes, said support extending upward inside and over the other strap and downward and outward therefrom, sa d support terminating in a hook at its outer end, combined with a bar formed 7 with an eye'through which the lower strap passes, said baradapted to engage with said hook whereby it is supported in a horizontal position.

' 2. A clothes rack comprising an upper strap and a lower strap, means for connecting the ends of said straps, a support formed from wire doubled upon itself and formed with eyes at the ends of the wire through which the lower strap-passes, said support extending upward inside and over the upper strap and downward andoutward therefrom, and terminating formed from wire doubled upon itself the ends formed with eyes through which the engaged with said hook whereby it is sup ported in a horizontal position.
