' TIE RACK Filed Dec. l. 1928 n J-l/Fn J n @i 11d/H111 2W W' ATTORNEYS- Patented July l, 1930 STS SAMUEL SOLOFF, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK TIE RACK Application led December 1, 1328. Serial No. 323,028.

This invention relates to improvements in tie racks and has for its object the provision of a novel form of tie rack which will hold a large number of mens ties or cravats in a minimum of space. Afurther object of this invention is the provision of a tie rack which may be hung on any convenient wall or other support and from which any individual tie may be withdrawn without disturbing the lo other ties disposed therein.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which Fig. l is a perspective view of my improved tie rack, showing the front thereof.

Fig. 2 is a rear view.

Fig. 3 is an elevation of one of the individual bars on which the ties are hung.

Fig. 4 shows a modified form of bar.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view along the line 5-5 of Fig. l.

My improved tie rack has its frame made of two parallel bars A and A preferably made of iiat leather strips. These side pieces are joined together at the top by the lateral metal member B and at the bottoml by the lateral metal member C. The top member B has loopsD and D formed therein by which the tie rack is suspended.

rlhe bottom member C has joined thereto on the bottom thereof a leather tab E, which is for the purpose of raising the tie rack when filled with ties to remove any individual tie therefrom. The top and bottom members B and C are preferably made of circular metal rods, bent into the desired shape.

' The tie holding members are the Hat horizontal metal bars F having the teeth G thereon and integral therewith. The members F are preferably stamped out of flat' sheet metal, the ends of the bars F being riveted into the leather side pieces A and A as shown in Figures l and 2. In Figure 4, as shown, an alternative form of tie holding rmember which is made from a single continuous wire instead of a flat metallic sheet and this form of bar may be used where strict economy in manufacture is necessary. lt will be obvious that with this form of tie rack the ties the loops D and D, the flexible leather side may be disposed between the spacers G without touching each other and may be removed by lifting the end of the rack by means of the tab E to a horizontal position. Any tie may be easily removed without disturbing any of the others.

In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the bar F is bent to form teeth G.

In use, the device is allowed to hang from pieces A and A being held vertically. When it is desired to remove a necktie, the tab E can be raised until said pieces A and A are horizontal. The leather side pieces can be rolled up to enable the device to occupy a small space.

I claim:

l. ln a tie rack, the combination of flexible leather side supports, a metal rod joining said side supports at the top of said rack, the ends of said rod being turned inwardly to form supporting hooks and al series of rigid horizontal members riveted to said side members at the ends thereof and spacing jiembers located on said horizontal memers.

2. ln a tie rack, the combination of flexible leather side supports, said side supports being joined together at the topv and bottom by metal rods having their ends turned inwardly, and a series of horizontal members riveted to said side supports at both ends thereof intermediate the top and bottom of the rack, said horizontal bars having spacing members for the ties integrally formed thereon.

3. In a tie rack, the combination of flexible non-metallic side members, metallic bars connecting said side members at the top and bottom of said rack, the ends of said bars passing over the ends of said elastic members and having their own ends turned inwardly, and series of horizontal bars intermediate the top and bottom of the rack riveted to said side supports and having spacing members located thereon.

4. In a tie rack, the comb-ination of flexible non-metallic side members7 metallic bars connecting said side members at the top and bot tom of said rack, the ends of said bars passing OVGr the ends of said elastic members and In having their own ends turned inwardly, and a series of horizontal bars intermediate the to) and bottom of the rack riveted to said si e supports and having perpendicular spacing members integral therewith and located on said horizontal bars.

In testimony whereof I uiix my signature.

SAMUEL SOLOFF.
