This invention relates to improvements in article supporting racks, and pertains par ticularly to a rack for supporting a plurality of brooms.
5 The primary object of the present invention is to provide a rack by means of which brooms may be supported from the ends of the handles, in such a manner that any one of the brooms. may be removed without disturbing the others on the rack.
The invention broadly contemplates the provision of a fiat curved body, which may .be circular, semi-circular or otherwise formed, in which the edges are provided with r recesses which converge slightly from their outer to their inner ends. Means is provided whereby this plate may be suspended in a horizontal position so-that the ends of broom handles may be inserted into the recesses and held through frictional engagement in the constricted ends thereof, the support of the brooms further being assisted by the slight enlargement which is found at the ends of the handles of all brooms.
vide a'broom rack which is of simple but strong and durable construction and which is of the hanger device embodying the present invention. V
Figure 2 1s a sectlonal view taken on the line 22 of Flgure 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein like numerals ofreference in- R dicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates gen- A further object of the invention is to pro- 7 10 which pass through receiving aperatures ieai. Serial no. 532,8 7. g I I, erally the body of the rackembodying present invention, the same here bein shown as ofrcircular configuration. It is, of course,
tobe understood that this rackmay be-of semi-circular design or of any other of a 5.5 number of configurations, if desired. l .1 In the case of the circularbody 1, which is shown, there is formed in the inner and the outer edges thereot-[theb'room handle receiving recesses. 2 which are of slightly greater width at their outer ends than at their inner ends, so that when the handle of abroom is inserted it will become wedged slightly in A the inner end ofthe recess.- By forin'ing these recesses 'in the manner shown 6? there are thus formedthe fingers 3 v and the recesses uponjone edge are disposed in staggered relation with-respect tothose upon the other edge so that those upon one edge are positioned oppositely the fingers between the recesses of-the other edge. These fingers 3, while they may be left flat or straight, are preferably turned up. slightly adjacent their free ends. r
Within. the annular body 1 there are formed the radially disposed arms 4 which join at the center of the body with a plate 5. This plate 5 supports a center post 6, which has a threaded stem in its lower end which passes through the plate and receives a nut 7.
At the upper end of the post 6 is an eye 8 by means of which the support is suspended from a hook, or any other suitable hanger, and at a point beneath the eye 8 there extends radially from the post the curved arms 9, the outer ends of which are provided with reduced threadedextensions in the body 1 and receive, upon the under- 99 side of the body, the nuts 11.
It is, of course, well known that'broom handles, at their free ends, are very slightly enlarged and it will thus be seen that, in addition to the frictional engagement of the .9? handle in the constricted portion of one of the recesses 2, this enlargement will prevent the handle passing through the recess. It will also be readily appreciated that with a support of the character herein described 100 any one of a number of brooms suspended therefrom may be readily removed Without knocking from position or otherwise disturbing any of the other brooms on the sup- 5 port.
Having thus described the invention, What is claimed is:
1. A broom rack, comprising a flat annular body having a plurality of relatively deep recesses formed in each of the edges thereof, radially disposed arms Within the body, connected therewith and joined at their inner ends at the radial center of the body, a post carried by said arms at the radial center of the body, means at the upper end of said post for suspending the structure with the body in horizontal position, and supporting brace arms connecting the body with the post adjacent the upper end of the latter.
2. A-broom rack, comprising a flat annular body having a plurality of relatively deep recesses formed in each of the edges thereof, radially disposed arms Within the 23 body, connected therewith and joined at their inner ends at the radial center of the body, a post carried by said arms at the radial center of the body, means at the upper end of said post for suspending the structure with the body in horizontal position,
and supporting brace arms connecting the body With the post adjacent the upper end of the latter, said body having the portions formed between said recesses turned upwardly and further having said recesses slightly convergent from their outer to their inner ends.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
