' 'rownr. AND GARMENT'HOLDER.
Application filed March 1, 1922.
useful Improvements in Towel and Garment Holders, fication.
This invention relates to towel or garment holders, and has for one of its objects to simplify and improve the construction and increase the efliciency and utility of devices of this character. 1
Another object of the invention is'to provide a device of this character which may be readily extended to increase the capacity of the holder to any required extent, by duplicating the supporting members.
l-Vith these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved device, partly in section.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of the resilient and yieldable holding member.
Fig. 4% is a detached perspective view of the supporting bar.
Fig. 5 is an end elevation enlarged, of the improved device extended to provide a plu- 5 rality of the holding devices. a
The improved device comprises a supporting bar 10, preferably of wood, and-with recesses 11 in the ends.
Bearing on the upperface of the bar is a rod, represented as a whole at 12, and rigidly attached to the bar intermediate its ends as by staples 13, leaving the outer parts of the rod yieldably bearing on the bar. The rod 12 is downturned near its ends as represented at 14, and extending by the clownturned portions through the recesses 11, and thence directed laterally as at 15 and thence upwardly as at 16 and terminating in an eye 17 to receive a screw 18 to enable the device to be attached to a Wall or other supporting structure as indicated at 19.
By this means the bar 10 is supported spaced from the wall 19 a distance corre sponding to the lengths the holding rod.
Bent upwardly from the rod 12 at each of which the following is. a speciof the portions 15 of Serial No. 540,219.
side of the fasteningdevices 13, are loop-s 20 to facilitate the insertion of the towel or the article or-garment and indicated conventionally at 21.
Tith a device constructed as shown'and described, a towel or like article, or garment of any form, maybe suspended from the bar 10 by inserting two corners ofthe towel, or small portions of a garment, through the loops 20 and drawing the adjacent portions between the body portions of toward the ends in Fig. l.
The resiliency of the rod will be sufficient the rod and of the bar, as represented to hold the towel or other article against the ordinary pull exerted while using the,
towel or weight.
If a duplication of the holders is desired,
to support a garment against its the portions 16 of the device may be 0011- pled to another of the bars 10, and the portions 16 of the second bar attached by the screws 18 to the wall 19, as shown in Fig. 5. In the same manner any required number of the bars 10 and rods 12 may be connected as will be obvious.
The towels or other articles or garments may thus be suspended in spaced relation, so that they do or come in contact while onthe hangers.
The improved device is simple in construction, maybe constructed of any size' and of any suitable material, and of .any length to correspond to towelsor garments of any size or form.
The preferred embodiment of the inven- 7 tion is disclosed in the drawings and set forth in the-specification,.but it will be un derstood that modifications within the scope of the claimed invention may be made .in the construction without departing from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A device of the class described comprising a supporting bar, having an outwardly opening recess in one end, a rodrof resilient material bearing upon said bar, said rod being downturned at the outer end to enter said recess and thence directed laterally and adapted to be connected by the laterally directed portion to a stationary support.
2. In a device of the class described a supporting bar having outwardly opening recesses at the ends, a rod bearing upon said not interfere with each otherbar and With downturned portions engaging in said recesses, the parts of the rod in advance of the downturned portions being directed laterally and coupling the rod to the bar thereby and adapted to be attached to a support.
3. In a device of the class described a supporting bar having outwardly opening recesses at the ends, a rod bearing upon said 10 bar and with downturned portions engaging in said recesses, the parts of the rod in advance of the downturned portions directed laterally and coupling the rod to the bar thereby and adapted to be attached to a support, said rod having outurned loops intermediate the ends and attached to the bar adjacent to the loops.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.
JOSEPH J. HAYES.
