Description
April 23, 1935. w KRATT 1,998,899
TIE RACK Filed March 51, 1934 INVENTOR Law/rm I ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 23, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
The present invention relates to racks for ties or like articles and has for its main object the provision of a comparatively simple and inexpensive device whereby ties or the like can be 5 conveniently suspended from a wall and securely held in position.
With this object in View, my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and defined in the appended. claim.
In the accompanying drawing in which similar reference characters denote corresponding parts,
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my device, showing the same both in clamping and unclamping positions;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view thereof;
Fig. 4 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a modified construction of my device;
Fig. 5 is a front elevation thereof; and
Fig. 6 is a modified detail of my device.
Referring first to the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, my device comprises a bracket or base plate In provided on top and at the bottom with eyelets H1 or the like, for the passage of screws ll whereby said bracket may be fastened to a wall W, the inner face of a closet door, or the like.
Fixed to an upper part of the bracket or plate ID as at [2 is a resilient member in form of a plate spring l2 which extends longitudinally of the bracket and whose free end projects somewhat below the bottom edge of the latter. Fixed to said free end is a sleeve l3, loop or the like, in which is borne a rod l4 or bar, to extend at a right angle to the bracket l and which serves as a hanger or rack proper for ties, or like articles, as shown in Fig. 3. Said resilient member H! has a tendency to draw the rod l4 normally toward the wall W so that the articles folded around the rod will be clamped between the latter and the wall and thus securely held in position. In order to permit the convenient hanging of the articles over said rod and their removal therefrom I provide an arm 15 extending longitudinally of the bracket and having an aperture I. This arm at its lower end is pivotally joined to the lower end of the bracket 12 as at I5 to swing vertically and at its upper end is slightly curved forwards to form a grasp or handle I5 The plate spring l2 extends through said aperture I5 of said arm 15, the lower edge I5 of which aperture is a certain distance away from the pivotal axis of said arm so that when the latter is swung downwardly on its pivots I5 as shown in Fig. 1, said edge I5 will engage the plate I2 and against the tension of the spring force of said plate l2 push it away from the bracket l0. As a result thereof the rod carrying the articles will be swung away from the wall clearing the space between itself and said wall and permitting the hanging of the articles around or removal thereof from said rod. When the arm I5 is swung upwardly into the position shown in Fig. 3 the plate I2 is released and will be drawn back into clamping position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
Instead of clamping the articles between the wall and the rod, I may provide an auxiliary rod to cooperate with the hanger rod as shown in the modification of Figs. 4 and 5. Here the bracket or plate It! is formed at its lower end to a loop or sleeve "5 which bears an auxiliary rod I! against which the rod l4 borne in the loop or sleeve l3 of the spring I2 is adapted to be drawn to clamp between themselves the ties or the other articles hung on the rod 14.
The apertured bar or plate I5 actuates the spring I2 in the same manner as in the first described construction.
The rods l4 and I! may be circular in crosssection as shown in Figs. 1 to 5, square or of other suitable configuration.
In Fig. 6 the rod Hi is shown provided longitudinally with a number of protuberances l8, ribs or the like to form partitions for separating adjacent ties and the ends W of said rod M may be bent upwardly as shown in Fig. 6, flanged or otherwise shaped to form stops which will prevent the ties from slipping off the rod.
Since various modifications may be made in the construction of the device without departing from the spirit of my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to the details shown and described.
What I claim is:
A rack or hanger for articles such as ties, comprising a bracket to be fixed to a wall or the like, a plate spring extending longitudinally of the bracket and whose free end projects below the bottom edge of the latter and is formed with a sleeve, a rod borne in said sleeve to extend at a right angle to said bracket and adapted to serve as the hanger proper, said plate spring having the tendency to swing toward said wall and in cooperation with the latter to clamp said articles in position thereagainst, a longitudinally apertured arm pivoted to said bracket to swing vertically, said plate spring being adapted to pass through the aperture of said arm, the lower edge of said aperture being a certain distance away from the axis of said arm so that when the latter is lowered said edge will engage said plate spring and swing it into and retain it in disengaging position.
