T. S. CRAMPTON PORTABLE RACK Fi1ed-March 28, 1922 l atented Apr. 21, 1925 UNITED STATES PATENT 0 F F I C E THOMAS S. CRAMIPTON', 0F SCtEMMIIEELRSRU'N, MARYLAND.
PORTABLE RACK.
. Application filed March 28, 1922. Serial No; 547,470.
This invention relates toa portable rack or holder design primarily for holding and transporting ties and similar articles, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a simple, light and durable structure formed entirely of metal and which can be conveniently transported from place to place and will, when placed on a counter or the like, properly support the articles on the rack and hold them for display purposes.
With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings 9 I Figure 1 is an elevation of the device.
Figure 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig ure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevation showing the means for attaching the bail.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1,2 and 3 designate superposed shelves which are of the same construction with the exception that the lower shelf is provided with supporting feet or loops l bent downwardly from the crimped wire 5 forming the peripheral portion of the lower shelf. All of the loops of this crimped wire are in the same plane except the feet 4. Arranged within the space surrounded by the wire 5 is another wire 6 bent to substantially circular formand crimped throughout the circumference of the circle, the crimps all lying in the same plane with the bends in the outer wire 5. One end of the wire forming the inner circle 6 is preferably extended inwardly and bent to form a spiral central portion 7. The inner wire 6 is connected to the outer wire 5 at desired intervals by links 8 soldered or otherwise fastened thereto.
The shelves 2 and 3 areall of the same vided with the feet at.
construction as the shelf 1, as before stated, with the exception that they'are not pro- Standards 9, preferably formed of twisted wires, serve to support the shelf 2 above the shelf 1 and similar standards 10 are employed for supporting the shelf 3 above the shelf 2; All of these standards can be located whereverdesired and can be attached to the outer rings of the shelves by means of solder or in any other suitable manner.
Dirt-metrically opposed wire loops 11 are secured to the upper shelf 3 and project upwardly therefrom, these loops being engaged by a bail 12 forming a handle. The ends of the bail are attached to the wire 5.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that each shelf will form a light and efficient support for a tie or the like and the feet 4 will hold the structure firmly on a counter or other support. By means of the bail or handle 12 the rack can be carried easily from place to place. (lbviously more than three shelves can be employed or, if desired, the number can be reduced. By crimping the annular wires 5 and 6 as shown the connections or standards 9 and 10 can be placed in engagement with certain of the crimps and held against annular or lateral displacement. These crimps also permit the connections from shifting out of position as will be apparent by referring to Fig. 2.
What is claimed i In a rack, a shelf including spaced rings each crimped inwardly, the material of the inner ring terminating in a spiral occupying the space surrounded by the inner ring, all of the crimps occupying the same l'iorizontal plane with the spiral, links engaging certain of the crimps of the inner and outer rings for holding said rings against relative move- 1nent,the crimps in the rings holding the links against displacement, another shelf made up of inner and outer connected crimped rings, and connecting standards engaging certain of the crimps in the rings of the respective shelves, said crimps holding the standards against lateral displacement relative to the rings.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, 1 have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
