RACK FOR 'BOOTS AND SHOES.
v Application filed August 21, 1926. ySerial No. 130,656.
My invention `relatesito boot and shoe racks and moreyparticularly to such a rack provided with a -pair of heel-supporting wire cross member frames and a plurality of pivoted clamps, adapted to engage the top portions of thev counters or backs of the boots and shoessupported vonV they rack.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide each heel-supporting cross member with a bent portion, soas to provide it with one or moreback stops which prevent backward play of the hanger and thus prevent the shoes from swinging.
Another object of the. invention to provide a plurality of swinging, gripping jaws mounted on each crossbar ofthe rack, which can be readily clamped lto the top of the counter or back of the boot or shoe and which, with the heel-supporting frames, will firmly hold any style and size shoes in position.
lV ith the abovel and other objects in view, my invention consists in the parts, improvements and combinations more fully pointed out hereinafter. f
Turning now to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a iers ective front View of a a 1 n my improved boot-'and shoe rack, snowing' the manner of holding boots and` shoes.
Figure 2, is a vertical cross-section of the rack shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3, is a perspective view showing the rack collapsed.
Figure 4, is a detailed showing the gripping jaws.
In the drawings, the rack with its side bars'l, 2, 3, 4, is supported on the inside of a door of va closet-by means oiu screws 5, passing thru holes in the side bars. The upper side bars 1, 3, are pivoted to the lower side bars 2, 4, at 6,7, thus allowing the rack to collapse, as shown in Figure 3. A projecting crossbar 8, is provided with side arms 9, which are pivotally mounted on the outer ends of the upper side bars 1, 3, andl a similar crossbar 10, is pivotally secured to the outer ends of the lower side bars 2, 4. Each crossbar carries the means for supporting the shoes, the shoes being placed' on a swinging frame which supports the heels and being clipped to the erossbar by means of gripping clips, which grip the top portions of the backs or counters of the shoes.
In the form of the invention illustrated,
sectional view,
the loop end 'has a shoulder each heel-supportingflirame'rll, l2, ispro-y vided with a. back stop which limits the backward movement-of the frame and shoes.` The upper wireframe is bent at eachaend at13, 14, ,and the'lower frame atl, 16, thus providing backy stops for the respective' wire frames. v'
Means are provided for gripping the tops .of the backs of each shoe and securing the.
grippingjawsl to the crossbars. -A pair. of. i
grlpping jaws 17,18, pivoted at 19, landpressed togetherl by spring 20, areprovided,
vthe jaws being opened to clamp the shoe, byv
linger- pieces 21, 22. Each pair of` jaws isy pivoted to a bracket 23,. which, 1n turn', is pivoted to an elongated looped member 24,.
at 24a, which loop encircles thecrossbarso f.
that it may be `raised orv swing, freely upon' it. This lj )ermitsgthe loopedl member yand gripping jaws to be placed in any of a series of positions so that the jawsy willgrip thef tops of the backs of shoes of different heights and styles.l One end of thelloop is pivoted to bracket 23, carrying' thejaws, the other member of the loop being' sprung behind the pivot to which the bracket is at? tached, so as to provide a self-'locking joint.
By means of the elongated loop'the gripping jaws can be positioned so as `to enf gage the backs' of shoes of different heights, low shoes and high shoes. This allows the shoes to be suspended downwardly and the heel-supporting frame with its back stop maintains them away from the door.
In the bestembodiment of the invention,
25, 1 against 1 which the gripping aws lswing b-y gravity, when the aws are not vgripping a shoe, these jawsl being suspended from the` loop by bracket 23. This positionsthe jaws so that the finger pieces arealways readily accessible approximately at right angles when it is desired to clamp the jaws upon the top of the shoe back. The gripping ends of the jaws are `bent so that the outer jaw will avoid marring the shoe and the inner jaw will firmly clamp upon the inside lof the shoe.
Having thus described the invention, the
