DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The accompanied drawings demonstrate several preferred embodiments of clothing accessories supporting rack provided to support clothing accessory articles such as neckties and necklace. FIG. 1 is the three dimensional view of a preferred embodiment supporting several neckties inside a closet for demonstrating a storage mode. The clothing accessories supporting rack 100 comprises a suspension member 102 and a supporting frame 107 that supports neckties 131 to 139. The suspension member 102 comprises a hook 102 a for 10 engaging with a first external supporting member, represented by the supporting rod 106 located inside a closet. Portions 102 b and 102 c of the suspension member 102 connects the suspension member 102 to the edge 105 of the supporting frame 107. The portions 102 b and 102 c are designed to provide swing or pivoting function between the frame 107 and the suspension member 102. The supporting frame 107 comprises two or more parallel supporting bars 108, 121 and 111. These parallel supporting bars are configured to locate along the same vertical plane as demonstrated in the storage mode of FIG. 1. Supporting bar 111 is positioned vertically on top of the supporting bars 121 and 108. Spacers 112 to 117 provided organized spacing for the supporting bar 111 to support multiple neckties. Spacers 112 to 117 may be fixed or adjustable along the extension of the supporting bar 111. The supporting bars 111, 121 and 108 are connected together by the vertical edge plates 210 and 220 to form the polygonal supporting frame 107. A second suspension member 141 is connected to the supporting bar 108 located around the bottom edge of the supporting frame 107. The suspension member 141 comprises a catch designed to be engaged with the retainer hook 103 of the suspension member 102 when the garment accessories supporting frame 100 is converted to serve an organizing mode.
The plane A1, A2 and A3 defines the horizontal plane occupied by the edge or horizontal bar 105. All other horizontal plans discussed in this specification are defined to be parallel to this plane. B1 defines the direction of viewing to obtain the top view of the clothing accessories supporting rack 100. Side view of the clothing accessories supporting rack 100 is defined by the B2 viewing direction. Attention is now directed to FIG. 2A which illustrates the side view of the clothing accessories supporting rack 100. It can be observed that the necktie 131 is in touch with the necktie 132 during the storage mode provided inside a closet. Similarly the necktie 132 is in touch with the necktie 133. The narrow span C1, C2 indicated that the clothing accessories supporting rack occupies very little closet space during the storage mode although it receives a good number of clothing accessories. Neckties tend to slip when it is support on a horizontal supporting bar. Non-slipping function can be provided by fabricating or coating the supporting bar with high friction material, such as a flocking or rubber coating. Flocking and rubber coating not only increase the product cost significantly, the high friction coating also make the necktie more difficult to be inserted or removed during the organizing mode. A design objective is defined during the research of this invention to provide a supporting rack that offers non-slipping function only during the storage mode, The non-slipping function is released when the supporting rack is removed from the closet for converting into an organizing mode. FIG. 2C illustrates a gravitational non-slipping effected provided by the supporting rack of FIG. 1 according to this design objective. During the storage mode, the parallel supporting bars 111, 121 and 108 are stacked, or positioned approximately vertically on top of each other, so that the neck ties 131, 132 and 133 are slightly displaced and in touch with the adjacent necktie due to gravitational force. FIG. 2B illustrates an organizing mode when the supporting frame is positioned horizontally when operated outside the closet. The supporting bars 111 and 121 are separated horizontally apart by a distance C3, C4. During the organizing mode of FIG. 2B, the only frictional force applied to the necktie 131 is the frictional force between the supporting bar 111 and the necktie 131. When the storage mode of FIG. 2C is compared with the organizing mode of FIG. 2B, two additional frictional forces are applied to the necktie 131 to significantly enhance the non-slipping function. The first additional frictional force is provided by the interaction between the portions 282 and 283 of the necktie 131. This frictional force occurred around the D3 and D4 area. The second additional frictional force added to the necktie 131 occurred during the D1 and D2 interaction, where the necktie portion 283 rubbed with the necktie 132. When the necktie portion 282 tends to slip in the downward E1 direction, it interacts with the upward movement of the 283 portion in the E2 direction. Furthermore the 283 portion rubbed with the adjacent necktie 132 to create an additional frictional force. The two additional frictional forces created are proportional to the frictional coefficient between the portions 282, 283, and the portions 283, 132 multiply by the gravitational weight of the neckties 131 and 132. The principle to make use of natural gravitational forces to provide additional non-slipping frictional forces two surfaces of the clothing accessories during a storage mode defines the term “gravitational non-slipping effect”.
Attention is now directed to FIG. 3, which represents an alternative arrangement of the supporting rack when it is removed from the closet to provide an organizing mode. The portion 102 a of the suspension member 102 is first engaged to a second external supporting member, such as a pull handle 382 of the closet door 381. The supporting frame 107 is then swing, or rotated against the suspension member 102 to a horizontal position. The end portion 142 of the second suspension member 141 is then connected to the engagement hook 103 of the suspension member 102 to secure the horizontal position of the frame 107. FIG. 2B illustrated the condition of the neckties 131 and 132 in this organization mode. It can be observed that the additional non-slip frictional forces described in FIG. 2C for necktie 131 are automatically released in the organizing mode. It should be emphasized that it is not necessary to place the supporting frame 107 absolutely horizontal for the organizing mode. The supporting frame 107 is only required to be adequately rotated against the vertical plane defined by the closet door 381 or 386 to provide a reasonably comfortable separation space C3, C4 as illustrated in FIG. 2B. This comfortable spacing is required to extend along the whole supporting bar useful for properly supporting clothing accessories. The second suspension member 141 is a low cost design to keep or secure the deployed position of the supporting frame 107 during an organizing mode. There are many other standard designs well known to the art be able to provide the same function. All these alternate designs capable to keep/release the supporting frame 107 from the organizing mode position are included in the claimed scope of the subject invention. In addition to the pull handle of a closet door, the portion 102 a can be engaged with other external supporting member such as a wall mount hook. Typical exemplary shape of the portion 102 a is a hook having a downward opening. It should also be note that the supporting bars 111 and 112 are parallel to each other both in the storage mode of FIG. 1 and the organizing mode of FIG. 3.
FIG. 4A illustrated the side view of the clothing accessories rack deployed to provide the organizing mode as shown in FIG. 3. The wide spacing between adjacent neckties 131 to 133 allows a user to comfortably organize, coordinate or select a necktie. The angle of the supporting frame 107 against the supporting closet door 381 or a supporting wall is determined by the length of the second suspension member 141. It should be noted that it is not necessary to maintain the supporting frame at a right angle from the supporting closet door. The supporting frame 107 can work reasonably well by maintaining at an angle around 70 to 110 degrees from the vertical plane defined by the suspension member 102 as illustrated in FIG. 4A. This vertical plane is also represented by the vertical plane L3, L4 of FIG. 8 as discussed hereunder. FIG. 4B illustrates an alternate embodiment wherein a longer second suspension member 143 is provided. The end portion 142 is provided in the form of a hook, which also engages with the pull handle 382 of the closet door 381. Although this design eliminates the engagement hook shown in FIG. 1, it may prohibit the clothing supporting rack to work properly when it is deployed against a wall having only a nail to receive the hook 102 a.
Attention is now directed to the side view of an alternate embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4C. This is a design that provides double capacity as compared with the clothing accessory supporting rack of FIG. 1. Two supporting frames 462 and 466, each may be similar in structure to the supporting frame 107 of FIG. 1 are provided around the front side and the rear side of the suspension member 461. The supporting frame 462 is provided the supporting bars 463 and 464. The supporting frame 466 is provided the supporting bars 467 and 468. The supporting frames 462 and 466 are connected to the portion 461 a of the suspension member 461. Both supporting frames are free to rotate against the suspension member 461. Supporting frames 462 and 466 may be identical or different in structure. It should be noted that the second suspension member 141 of FIG. 1 is an option that is not included in this double capacity supporting rack. According to this embodiment, during the organizing mode, the user is required to use one hand to lift, rotate and gold the supporting frame 462 against the wall or closet door and use another hand to pick a necktie. When a necktie located on the supporting frame 466 is to be selected, the supporting rack is turned around and the suspension member 461 is again engaged with a receiving member mounted on the wall, or the pull handle of a closet door. The frame 462 rests approximately in a vertical position to provide gravitational non-slipping effect and the frame 466 and be lifted or rotated for accessing the necktie desired. FIG. 4D illustrates an alternate embodiment providing the optional second suspension member that helps to keep the position of a deployed supporting frame during the organizing mode. The end portion 492 of the second suspension member 491 is engaged with the engagement hook 473 extended from the suspension member 471. The principle of working is similar to the corresponding design illustrated in FIG. 1. According to this application, the engagement hook 473 is required to engage with a second suspension member extended from both sides of the supporting rack. Two engagement hooks, one on each side of the supporting rack is less desirable because the supporting rack is preferred to rest closely against a supporting wall or closet door. To resolve this issue, the engagement hook 473 is designed to be rotatable from the suspension member 461 as shown in the directions G1 and G2 of FIG. 5A. It should also be noted that the first suspension member, the supporting frame and the second suspension member form a triangle in a side view as illustrated in FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4D.
FIG. 5A illustrated an alternate embodiment providing additional supporting hooks 514 along the top edge or supporting bar 515 of the supporting frame 511. These additional supporting hooks are useful for supporting clothing accessory articles such as necklace 540 and belts 541. Attention is now directed back to FIG. 2A. Without neckties, the supporting frame 107 is in a substantially vertical plane, wherein the supporting bar 111 is substantially on top of the supporting bar 121 and 108. When the supporting rack is loaded with neckties, the center of gravity of the supporting frame is slightly shifted to the right hand side as illustrated in the side view of FIG. 2A. Accordingly the terms “approximately on top” or “approximately vertically on top” are created and defined to tolerate this type of slight tolerance due to the thickness and the mass of the clothing accessories supported by the supporting rack. These terms are also defined to include the absolute conditions when one supporting bar is positioned exactly vertically on top of another supporting bar. The slight tilting of the frame when it is fully loaded negatively affects the performance of the disclosed design to generate gravitational non-slipping frictional forces. Accordingly improved designs defined as “contoured supporting bar alignment” and “self adjusted gravitational non-slipping effect” are invented to improve the gravitational non-slipping frictional force provided by the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 5B illustrated a supporting frame 560 connected to a suspension member 565. The side view locus linking the contact surfaces of the parallel supporting bars is now arranged in a curved shape. This effect can be achieved by providing side edges of shape contoured towards the right hand side. The contoured shape of the side edges effectively shifted the center of gravity of the supporting frame towards the right hand side. The shift of center of gravity allows the lower supporting bars 563 and 564 to provide adequate contact area for creating the additional non-slip frictional force required. Since the contoured side edge is of a fixed shape, effectiveness in compensation of non-slip frictional force varies according to the mass and number of clothing accessory articles supported by the rack. An improved designed named “self adjusted gravitational non-slipping effect” was created to provide better self compensated gravitational non-slipping effect to the supporting rack. Attention is now directed to FIG. 2A. When the supporting frame 210 is fully loaded with clothing accessory articles such as the neckties 131 to 133, weight of the neckties shifted the lower end of the frame 210 towards left hand side. This shifting movement reduces the frictional forces developed between the neckties 131 to 133. In an improved embodiment, each supporting bar 111, 121 and 108 is mounted with a series of interconnected segments of edge plates freely rotatable from each other. The side view of a typical edge plate is illustrated in FIG. 5C. Dotted line area 578 is the location where a supporting bar is mounted. Holes 572 and 573 are the pivot points for one edge plate segment to be interconnected with an adjacent edge plate segment. Areas 574 and 575 are recessed areas. Protruded portions 576, 577 are stoppers prevented the supporting frame from bending into a undesirable direction during organizing mode. FIG. 5D demonstrates how two adjacent segments will be able to provide self adjusted contour effect when the supporting frame 511 is tilted to the left hand side in a storage mode. Weight of the clothing accessory articles rested on the support bar 584, interacted by the pivot point 586, tends to shift the edge plate segment 583 towards the direction of G3. This motion compensates the reduction of gravitational non-slipping frictional force when the supporting frame is shifted to the left hand side, as previously discussed. The angle and pressure of compensating self adjusted frictional force depend on the mass of the clothing accessory articles supported on the supporting bar 584. FIG. 5E demonstrates how the improved design works during an organizing mode. The interconnected segments of edge plates are not desired to be contoured or rotated from each other during a deployed organizing mode. Pulling force of the second suspension member 141 to maintain the horizontal level of the supporting frame 107 as illustrated in FIG. 3 is represented the direction of force G4. When edge segment 590 is moved by the force G4 against the edge plate 594 according to the pivot point 593, the two edge plates are kept at a horizontal level by the interacting stoppers 592 and 596. Accordingly, “self adjusted gravitational non-slipping effect” is defined by a working principle that make use of gravitational force between the relative movement of adjacent supporting bars to provide self adjusted non-slipping interaction between layers of neckties supported by the adjacent supporting bars. FIG. 5C to 5E demonstrates a supporting frame design capable of offering self adjusted contoured frame shape in the storage mode of FIG. 5D. The design also allows the supporting frame to remain in a flat position when it is converted into the organizing mode of FIG. 5E.
Attention is now directed to an alternate embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6. The supporting frame structure of FIG. 6 is identical to that of FIG. 2A except that the second suspension member 141 of FIG. 2A is replaced by the second suspension member 621. The end portion 142 of FIG. 2A is replaced by the hook 631. Attention is now directed to FIG. 7A. All the parallel supporting bars described in the previous embodiments are fixedly secured with the supporting frame. FIG. 7A illustrated a supporting bar 720 that is removable from the side edge plate 700 of the supporting frame. A handle 727 enables a user to hold and remove the supporting bar 720. After a supporting bar is filled with clothing accessories such as neckties, a user hold the handle 727, allowing the terminal portion 729 of the supporting bar 720 to be inserted into the guide 702 as shown in the direction H. The guide 702 is carefully shaped to provide an upward facing opening at a suitable angle so that the supporting bar 720 will not fall during both the storage mode and the rotated organizing mode. Further suspension hook 728 may be provided beneath the support bar for receiving other clothing accessory articles such as necklace or belt of FIG. 5A. These additional hooks may be integrated with the spacers 112 and 117 of FIG. 1. Since the supporting bar is free to rotate from the supporting frame, weight of the supported necklace or belt will always direct the hook 728 to locate beneath the horizontal level of the supporting bar 720. FIG. 7B illustrated the side view of the removable supporting bar 720. The handle 727 locates on the upper side of the supporting bar 720. The hook 728 is always positioned below the supporting bar 720. FIG. 7C showed an alternate embodiment of FIG. 7B wherein the orientations of the hook shape handle 727 is rotated by 90 degrees. This modification allows the supporting bar 781 to use as a separated hanger for independently engaging with an external supporting member such as a closet rod.
FIG. 8 illustrated the top view of a typical preferred embodiment. 802 represents a suspension member for the supporting rack to be engaged with a closet supporting rod or the pull handle of a closet door. 801 represents the supporting frame, which is positioned along the vertical plane L3, L4. When the frame 801 is described to rotate vertically against the suspension member 802, it means the frame 801 rotates along the vertical plane L1, L2 against suspension member 802. Direction J indicates the direction of viewing for the side views described in this specification. Direction K1, K2 represents the direction of viewing for a front view.
FIG. 9A illustrated the top view of another embodiment of a clothing accessories supporting rack during a storage mode. This rack comprises a suspension member 901, 902 for connecting the supporting rack to a closet supporting rod, or the pull handle of a closet door. It also comprises a supporting frame having parallel supporting bars 911 to 913. The parallel supporting bars are connected to two end plates 928 and 938 with the pivot points 921 to 923 and 931 to 933. When the suspension member is engaged with the pull handle of a closet door for converting into an organizing mode, the supporting bar 913 swings towards the direction N such that the supporting bars 911 to 913 are wide apart from each other for receiving or accessing clothing accessory articles as shown in FIG. 9B. It can be observed that the suspension hook 961 of FIG. 9B does not locate around the center of gravity of the frame during the organizing mode of FIG. 9B. The reason is that it is more important to position the suspension member 901 around the center of gravity line M1, M2 during the storage mode of FIG. 9A. Although the embodiment of FIGS. 9A and 9B satisfies several design goals of the research, the performance of this embodiment is inferior as compared with the embodiment of FIG. 1 due to two reasons:

(a) It failed to provide the desirable gravitational non-slipping effect; and
(b) It is difficult to implement double capacity upgrade as illustrated in FIG. 4C.

From the foregoing it should now be recognized that embodiments of a clothing accessories supporting rack have been disclosed herein especially suited for providing both a high storage efficiency storage mode and a easy to access organizing mode. It should be noticed that the embodiments described are exemplary to achieve the disclosed design goals, to implement the disclosed theory; and that different alternate designs provided according to the spirit of the invention are all considered being included within the scope of the claims.
