UNITED STATES CHESTER J. WELSH,
SHOE
Application filed November The present application, as indicated, relates to a shoe rack, and more specifically to a rack adapted to be hung on a wall or similar structure and to support a pair or pairs of shoes out of contact with said wall or like member. The primary object of the invention is to provide a very simple and inexpensive article of the character described which shall provide a means for keeping shoes off the floor and for preventing damaging contact of the shoes with the wall or other supporting member. To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, said invention, then, consists of the means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claim.
The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detail certain mechanism embodying the invention, such dis closed means constituting, however, butone of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.
In said annexed drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the rack contemplated by the present. invention; and Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof showing a shoe supported in the rack.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference numeral 1 indicates gen erally a rack contemplated by the present invention which comprises a single wire 2 bent into the desired shape. At a point somewhat removed from one end of the wire there is formed a right angle bend 3, and a second right angle bond 1- defines a short spacing section 5. A support portion 6 is provided at a point approximately midway of its length with a U-shaped loop or eye 7 and at the end farthest removed from the bend 4 with a right angle bend 8 defining, in connection with a second right angle bend 9, a second spacing portion 10 parallel to, and equal in length to the spacing portion 5. From the bend 9, the wire extends in a plane parallel to the plane of the eye 7 to form one leg 11 of a V-shaped rest defined by said leg 11, a second leg 12, and a bend 13. A second V-shaped rest is then formed by bending the wire as at 1 1 and 15 to form the legs 16 and 17. At the remote end of the leg 17 there is formed a right angle bend 18 similar to the bend 9, and thence the wire continues in a spacing portion 19 similar to the portion 10, a right angle bend 2O similar to the ba d 8, a support 21 similar to or CONNEAUT, OHIO.

5, 1927. Serial No. 231,167.
the support 6 and provided with an eye 22 similar to the eye 7,a bend 23, spacing portlon 24, bend 25, and cross-bar 26 analogous toth e bend 4, spacing portion 5, bend 3, and portlon 2, respectively, heretofore described.
From the above description it will be noted that the supports 6 and 21 are provided with inwardly extending loops or eyes 7 and 22 respectively, and that the supports and their eyes lie in a single plane; and that the restformmg legs 11, 12, 16, and 17, are spaced from the supports 6 and 21 and lie in a plane parallel to the plane of said supports; and that the cross-bars 2 and 26 are likewise spaced from said supports 6 and 21 and lie in the plane of the rest-forming legs. The ends 27 and 28 of the cross-bars 2 and 26 respectively lie in close relation to each other after the rack has been formed, and a tubular joint member 29 is provided to receive both of said adjacent ends 27 and 28 to secure said ends in the desired position.
In use, the supports 6 and'21 are adapted to be secured to a wall or like member 30 by means of screws or similar fastening means 31 passing through said eyes 7 and 22 and secured in said wall. When the rack is so secured to the wall, it will be obvious that the V-shaped rests are materially spaced from the Wall and that the cross-bars 2 and 26 are spaced a like distance therefrom. Consequently, a shoe 32 may be supported on said rack with its heel 33 engaged between the legs 11 and 12 or 16 and 17 and with its sole 34 resting against the cross-bar 2 or 26. This arrangement holds the shoe positively away from the wall and prevents scarring or soiling of the wall surface by the hard and dirty bottom surface of the shoes.
Of course it is to be understood that the rack disclosed in the present specification might as well be formed with any number of V-shaped supports to carry any number of pairs of shoes. l\Ioreover it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the particular type of securing means illustrated and described for the opposed ends of the wire frame, but that I might weld or solder these ends together or fasten them together in any other well known manner. It will also be obvious that the eyes 7 might be separate pieces welded or otherwise secured to the legs 6 rather than being formed integrally therewith.
Other modes of applying the principle of "W nn a my invention may be em loyed instead of the one explained, change eing made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means stated by the following claim or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention A shoe-rack comprising a single strand of Wire, said Wire being bent to form a pair of supports each of Which is provided with an eye intermediate its ends a pair of V-shaped rests spaced from said supports by connect ing portions formed at right angles to said supports at one end thereof, said rests lying in a plane parallel to the plane of said supports, and a pair of substantially meeting cross-bars spaced from said supports by connecting portions formed at right angles to said support at the other end thereof, said crossbars being disposed in the vertical plane including said rests, in combination with a tubular member receiving in its opposite ends and joining the adjacent ends of said crossbars.
Signed by me this 3rd day of November,
CHESTER J. WELSH.
