GARMENT-RACK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 299, 1919.
Application filed October 4, 1917. Serial No. 194,693.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRED W. MAYER, a citizen of the United States of America, and
' a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and
State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Racks, of which the following is a specification.
The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved form of rack for use in supporting hats, coats, and other garments on the seats in public buildings; to provide improved means for attaching the rack to a support and normally urging it into a retracted position when not in use, but allowing it to be readily extended when garments are to be placed therein; and to provide a rack of this kind which is simple and inexpensive in construction and which may be readily attached to almost any form of supporting member.
An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view of a simple form of folding theater seat, showing the improved rack attached to the seat member thereof.
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same with the seat member in its upright folded posi tion.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail of one of the extensible members by which the rack is suspended on the seat member.
The improved form of rack comprises a frame 1 attach ed by a plurality of extensibl members 2 to a support 3, so that when not in use, the frame is normally urged into a retracted position relative to the support, but may be readily extended for the purpose of receiving hats, coats, or other garments which one may desire to temporarily place therein.
In the specific embodiment herein shown the frame 1 is a wire construction comprising a perimetric wire preferably formed of a single piece and having a plurality of wires 4: extending across from one edge to the other of said perimetric wire so as to complete the frame. The sides and back of the perimetric wire are substantially in the form of a U, and the front part thereof is doubled in upon itself, also substantially in the form of a U, with the base part thereof disposed substantially centrally with respect to the U-shaped formation of the sides and back of said perimetric wire. Loops 5 are formed in said perimetrie Wire for the purpose of afl'ording means for connecting with the extensible members 2. These loops are preferably at the sides near the front, and at the back near the middle, and are so disposed that the extensible members are located outside of the'plane of the perimetric wire.
The extensible members 2 each comprise a tubular member or cup 6 and a stem or pin 7 telescopingly arranged with respect to each other and having a spring 8 located within the former and embracing the latter so as to normally urge the respective parts into a contracted position. The part 6 is provided with a flange 9 by means of which said part may be attached to the support 3. The part 7 has a head 10 formed 011 the inner end thereof, against which the spring 8! bears, and at the outer end is provided with a screw 11, the stem of which is adapted to pass through the loop 5 and be screwed into the end of said part 7 for the purpose of securing the wire frame 1 to the respective member.
The support 3 is herein shown in the form of a seat member, being a part of a folding seat and pivotally attached at 12 to a frame 13 So that it may be folded up against the back member 14 when the seat is not in use.
A handle 15 is formed on or adjacent to the base of the doubled-in front part of the wire frame, for the purpose of permitting the frame to be readily pulled out away from the support 3 when it is desired to deposit garments between it and said sup port.
When the rack is not in use, it is normally urged into a retracted position relative to the seat member 3, substantially as indicated in full outline in Fig. 1. When one desires to place a garment such as an overcoat, and a hat, therein, the coat is folded up and, with one hand grasping the handle 15 and pulling the frame out away from the seat 3, the coat is placed in upon the rack below the seat 3. While the frame is being thus held out away from the seat member 3, the hat may also be placed on the rack so that the brim thereof rests upon the doubled-in front portion of the perimetric wire, with the crown suspended below. The position of the garments on the frame 1 is indicated in dotted outline in Fig. 1.
Although but one specific embodiment of this invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that nu combination of a support, a Wire frame, the
sides and back of which are substantially in the form of a U and the front of which is doubled in upon itself, also substantially in the form of a U with the base thereof located substantially centrally with respect to the sides and back, and extensible members connecting said frame to said support.
2. A garment rack forseats, comprisinga support, a frame mounted thereon and adapted to support garments between the same and said support, a plurality of extensible members each COlilPllSlllg' a pair of telescoping parts respectively connected to sald support and to sald frame, and resilient means coacting with the parts of said eX- tensible members so as to normally urge sa1d frame toward sald support, whereby said frame when not in use is retained in a retracted position relative to said support Copies of this patent may be obtained for and when in use yieldingly clamps the garments against said support.
3. A garment rack comprising a support, a wire frame mounted thereon and adapted to support garments between the same and said support, the sides and back of said frame being substantially in the form of a U and the front of which is doubled in upon itself, also substantially in the form of a 1 U with the base thereof located substantially centrally with respect to the sides and back, loops formed in said sides and back, a ,plurality of extensible members each comprising a tubular partattached to said support and a stem slidably mounted therein and attached to one of said loops, and re sil'ient means coac'ting with the respective stems and tubular parts so as to normally urge said frame toward said support whereby .said frame when not in use is retained in a retracted ,position relative to said support and when in use yieldingly clamps the garments vagainst said support.
Signed at Chicago this 1st day of October, 1917.
