Application filed Iay 81,
This invention pertains to garment hang ers or racks.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a rack for garments which may be mounted on a wall and arranged to be extended or collapsed and so as to be retained in extended or collapsed position.
Another object is to provide such a garment rack with a stop to prevent its being extended beyond the safe limit.
Another object is to provide improved means for preventing sagging of the rack.
Another object is to provide means whereby the weight of the articles hung on the rack will tend to return the same to retracted position.
Further objects will appear from the following description in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side vlew of a garment rack embodying this invention and shown 1n ex tended position; and
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the rack in retracted or collapsed position.
In accordance with this invention, a garment rack is provided which comprises an ordinary lazy tongs built up of diagonal members 1 and 2 pivoted together at their ends and also at their middle portions in the so usual well known manner. These lazy tongs are mounted on a support 3 adapted for attachment to the wall. The connection is made by a pair of connectin elements or links 4 pivoted to the ends 0 .the members 1 and 2 and also pivoted at 5 to the support 3. These elements extend beyond their pivots 5 and have their ends formed to provide abutment surfaces 6 adapted to on age the wall flange 7 of the support 3. hen the lazy tongs are drawn out to extended osition, the members 4 turn about their note 5 until their abutments 6 enga e the ange 7 of the support. When in diis position, further movement ofthe lazy-tongs is pre vented by the rigidity of the members 4. This rigidity also prevents the sagging of the rack under the weight of its load. The outer end of the lazy ton s has pivoted thereto by means of a pair 0% links 8 a han- 60 dle 9 by means of which the same may be manipulated.
1924. Serial No. 718,987.
The members 1 which extend downwardly and outwardly from the wall have extensions 10 beyond their lower pivots which are pr0 vided at their ends with hooks or other suspension means 11. When the rack is in extended position, the weight of the load hung on any of the hooks 11 tends to force the lower ends of the members 1 downwardly thereby producing a leverage which tends to retract or close the lazy tongs. This construction therefore rovides that so long as articles are suspen ed from the hooks 11, the rack will tend to close itself unless restrained. Pivoted at 12 to the support 3 is a retaining member or link 13 rovided with notches 14: adapted to enga e t e headed pin 15 which forms the pivot 0? the last pair of members 1 and 2. 'When the rack is extended, the link 13 may have its outer notch 14 engaged with the pin 15 so as to retain the rack in extended position. When in retracted position, the inner notch 14 ma be engaged with said pin to retain the rec in collapsed osition.
It'will seen therefore that in accordance with this invention, a simple garment rack is provided which is economical of manufacture and which will be reliable in service. The members 4 provide stops to prevent abuse of the rack by drawing it out too far and at the same time prevent sagging of the same. The extensions 10 provide that when loaded the rack will automatically tend to return to retracted position. The latch 13 may, however, be used to retain the rack in either extended or collapsed position.
It is obvious that various changes ma be made in the details of construction wit out departing from the spirit of this invention; it is therefore to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the specific details shown and described.
Havin thus described the invention, what is claime is:
1. A garment rack, comprising, a support adapted for mountin on a wall, and a laz tongs having pivota connections with said support, certain members of said lazy-tongs being extended beyond others and provided with suspension means, whereby the weight of the suspended articles tends to retract from said support and provided with sussaid lazy tongs. pension means, whereby the weight of the 2. A garment rack, comprising, a support suspended articles tends to retract said lazv- 10 adapted for mountin on a wall, and a lazytongs. 5 tongs having pivota connections with said In testimony whereof I afiix my signature support, certain members of said la -tongs this 12th day of May, 1924. being extended beyond others an away OBERT J. HAUL.
