Patented Sept. 5, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT Application February 4 1 Claim.
This invention relates to novel article supporting devices and has for its primary object the provision of a racl; equipped with means for reinovably holding articles of any desiral le nature such as ties, hot pads or other light units that are used of ten and should be hung where it is not dimcult to secure or remove the same from their proper place.
. One of the important objects of the present in- 10 'vention is the contemplation of a rack particularly constructed to support ties, said rack includin: a plurality of lingers, beneath which the ties may be placed with ease and removed by a quick jerk. necessitating the use of but one hand,
yet not injuring the tie in any manner.
A iurtl er aim of this invention is to provide a cheaply constructed, useful rack that may be hung on the wall for the purpose of receiving and holding light articles which should be available 20 removable from the rack without endangering the security of all the articles remaining thereon which are not to be removed.
A still further object of the invention is the a simple, efficient, and unique contemplation or rack thereon a plurality of fingers, one end of each of which is yieldably maintained against the of the rack whereby to hold light articles thereagainst.
A yet further object of this invention is the provision of a rack structure, wherein is included a plurality of fingers, all of which are supported the base of said rack by common means whic in some instances, may be slidably or otherufse rern vably to the base, whereby the -oly of the parts of said rack lered excepionally inexpensive.
Many minor objects of the invention, especially relating to the specific structure of a rack einbodying the invention, will appear during the course of the following specification, referring to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure l is a face view of a rack made in accordance with the preferr d form of the instant invention.
45 r Fig. 2 is a top, edge, plan view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a cross section through the rack, taken on line III-411 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary, longitudinal, detailed section. through a portion of the rack taken on line IV--IV of Fig. 1.
5 is a fragmentary, face view of a rack made to embody a modified form of the invention, and,
Fig. 6 is a cross section through the rack, embodying the same modified form.
, 1932. Serial No. 590,835
In describing the parts which are combined to form a novel rack. contemplated by this invention, like reference numerals will be used to designate similar parts throughout the several views of the drawing; The preferred form illus trated in Figs. 1 to a inclusive shows a rack having a base 8 formed of any suitable material such as aluminum or sheet metal and flanged as at 10 to insure rigidity. It is preferred to provide base 8 with two or iore openings 12, by means of which the rack may be hung in place, and the articles supported thereby moved therefrom without setting up an objectionable swing. The desi n of base 8, clearly shown in Fig. 1, has been found pleasing and practical, and one cheap to manufacture. In this instance ears 14 form openings 12, which may receive screws, nails, or other securing means to affix the rack to a wall. It is understood that base 8 may be formed of molded material or cut from comparatively thin wood or composition heard, all being within the concepts of the present invention.
A plurality of fingers 16 are carried by base 8 sothatone end thereof bears icreagainst, while the other end is spaced therefrom, as shown in Fig. 3. A U-shaped spring or siar resilient member 18 joins finger 16 intermediate the ends thereof to rockingly support said finger in a manner whereby movement of one end thereof toward the base will lift the other end therefrom.
In most instances it is desirable to provide com mon means for operatively supporting fingers 16 upon base 8. In the preferred form, a strip 20 is supplied for this purpose and formed to present a longitudinal bead 22, through opposite walls of which is formed openingszZ l for the reception of ti e aforementioned U-shaped spring 18. The manner of inserting this spring is clearly shown in Fig. 3.
The end of each finger 16 which engages base 8 should be formed to present a head 30 which will allow the article being held therebeneath to be pulled from its supported position by a quick jerk without the danger of injury. The construction just above set forth permits plating fingers 16 and strip 20 after they have been assembled and before they are placed upon base 8. It likewise allows spraying or otherwise decorating base 8 without having to exercise caution which naturally would increase the manufacturing cost of the rack.
It is obvious that any number of fingers 16 may be used in making a snapper rack and that any type of base suitable forthe many particular uses might be formed. Manifestly, the broad concepts of the invention might be embodied in structures of various natures, and it has been deemed advisable to illustrate one modification such as Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying draw- Referring now to Fig. 5 and 6, base 50 should be made of sheet metal or other material having properties which allow the formation of a longitudinal bead 52 through opposing side walls of which is formed appropriate openings to receive one leg of U-shaped spring 54 similar in design and function to member 18 of the preferred form.
Obviously, any number of fingers 56 might be carried by bead 52 along its length, and while this single bead is the sole supporting member for all fingers 56, it cannot be moved to carry members 56 out of the operative relation with base 50.
Many other embodiments of the invention might be set down and it is desired to practice the advantages of the present invention so long as the same falls within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
A rack comprising a base; a series of ears struck from said base; a strip slidably secured to said base beneath said ears; and a plurality of rockingly mounted fingers on said strip.
