Application led Hay 7,
This invention relates to clothes racks and more particularly to a knock-down clothes rack of the type commonly used for hotels, clubs, and the like', for the temporary disposal of wearing apparel ofthe guests. It may also be used permanently 1f des 1red. rllhe principal object oi the invention 1s to provide a clothes rack of th1s klnd whlch can. be easily and quickly assembled or knocked down, in which the parts are interchangeable with corresponding parts of sumlar racks, and to provide a simple, strong and compactly folding rack which can be made ready for use upon short notice without the necessity of toolsof any kind 1n its assembling. @ther objects will appear hereinafter.
ln the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is 'an elevation of a clothes rack constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention; Fig. 2 is a section ta en on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a topview; Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views of the fastening means.
ln hotels, clubs, or wherever coat racks of this kind are used, one of the greatest objections to the ordinary or solid type of rack is that it occupies too much space when not in use, it is bulky, cumbersome, and Ahard to move. The present invention is not for a oldable rack nor one that is colla sible in this sense; the pieces are actual y taken apart and to do this the cross pieces are simply raised or .disengaged from the ends.
The ieces can then be placed together or hand ed separately. When in knock-down form the storage space required is so much less that from eight to ten or more racks can be disposed in the same space occupied by one in its assembled condition.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, there are two end pieces 2 and 3, a top piece 4, a bottom piece 5, and an intermediate cross piece 6.
At the inner side or? the end pieces 2 and 3 are double hook supporting members 7 each comprising an angular member .of which one portlon is secured to the end pieces, and the other portion extends inwardly therefrom and is formed with upper and lower hook notches 8 and 9. Each of the cross members 5 and 6 is provided at its end with spaced projections 10 preferably consisting of headed bolts, which are adapted to engage in the notches 8 and 9 of the double hook members 7. The cross 1923. Serial No. 637,155.
The top member 4 is preferably formed with strips 11 spaced apart by blocks 12 disposed at intervals. At the ends on the underside are moulding strips 13 spaced apart to receive the upper extremities of the rack ends 2 and 3 therebetween so that the rack will be strengthened and steadied thereby and the top 4 will be held irml in position. At the bottom of each en there is .what beyond the side to afford additional stability to the rack.
The cross member 6 is provided on one or both sides with a plurality of hooks 15 and a hat supporting shelf 16 is attached to the top of the cross piece proper and is preferably of the same open or sectional construction as the top 47 as clearly shown by Fig. 3. This construction has the advantage that it is both light and strong. The ends ma also be formed with cut out portions 17, as s own in Fig. 2 to make the rack more attractive and lighter.
With this construction it is obvious thatthe parts maybe easily takenapart and assembled; they are easily handled, in carryingor packing them away; and a minimum space will be occupied in the knock-down form. Although the rack is shown as be.- ing made of wood or similar material, it is obvious that practically the same construction may be employed 1n making it of sheet metal. Other changes may be made without departing from. the spirit and scope of the invention.
