UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD MCKENZIE, OF-LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
COMBINED BACK AND SHELF BRACKET.
Application filed October 9, 1923 I Serial No. 667,533.
provide a simple and inexpensive-structure of this character having integral means on the. brace portion of the bracket for supporting clothes hangers and the like. I
A further which the hangers can be suspended;
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 changes in the precise'embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without 7 departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form "of the invention has been shown; V
In said drawings V j Figure 1 is a view. partly in sideelevation and partly in section of the device constituting the present invention. p j
Fig.2 is a plan view of the device.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation. 1 Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the top portion of a bracket preferably triangular while 2 designates the base or attaching portion and 3 is the brace portion. The entire bracket is preferably formed of a single length of sheet metal joined together at its ends. A tongue 1 is struck downwardly from the top 1. of
r the bracket and is curvedtoprovide a. hook- 5 whereby one end portion of a poleP may be supported. A series of tongues 6 are struck downwardly from the brace 3, these tongues being preferably extended substantially ends upturned as retaining means.
shown at 7 to'constitute object is to combine with the bracket a means for supporting a pole from vices seated in horizontally and having their .free' apertures 8 are provided in the base portion 2 for the reception of fastening screws 9 or the like. The top por- .tion' 1 is adapted to support a shelf S.
It will be apparent that the device herein described can be used solely as a support for garment hangers, the same being placed on the respective tongues 6. If desired, however, two or more of these brackets can be used for the purpose of supporting a shelf S, in which event the hooks 5 can be em- .ployed as means for supporting a pole P. Thus clothes hangers can be placed on the pole between the brackets and additional hangers can be. supported by the tongues. As the outstruck tongues 6 are out of vertical alinement, the supported garment hang- 7 ers and thejgarments thereon will beheld The fasteners 9 obviously serve to hold the terminals 2 of the strip, from which the bracket is made, close toends of the strip cannot spaced apart.
gether so that the spread apart. -By having the tongue [a struck downwardly as shown so as to come substantially in contact with the brace 3,
it serves as a supplemental support for the top portion 1 so as to prevent it from sag ging 'under an excessive load.
The structure is very simple, durable and efficient and provides a means whereby garments can be compactly stored within a closet. 7
What is claimed is As an article of manufacture a supporting rack formed in. a single length of sheet metal bent to provide a top portion and an inclined brace portion, the terminals of the strip being extended toward each other from one end of vthe top portion and from the lower endof the brace portion to constitute a base or attaching portion, these terminals having their ends in abutment andbeing provided with openings, and fastening dethe openings for attaching said terminal portions to a support and holding the ends of the terminal portions to-' gether with the top and brace portions at a predetermined angle to each other.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own,'I. have hereto affixed my signature.
