A. o. HAFFNER TOWEL BAR AND SHELF BRACKET Filed Feb. 12, 1940 f yhz A iiorneys Patented Oct. 7, 1941 TOWEL BAR AND SHELF BRACKET Arlie Oliver Hafifner, Geneva, IntL, assignor to The Autoyre Company, Incorporated, akv1lle, Conn, a corporation of Connecticut Application February 12, 1940, Serial No. 318,601
4 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in towel bars and more patricularly to a towel bar associated with a pair of shelf brackets and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character whereby a shelf may be mounted with a towel bar therebeneath.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a combination of the character set forth which will be strong, convenient in use, and which may be manufactured at low cost. 7
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the invention.
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional View taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of a portion of a modified form of the rod.
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional View taken substantially on the line 55 of Figure 3.
Referring now to the drawing, in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral I0 designates a pair of angular brackets each of which is constructed from a length of suitable metal strap having a shelf supporting arm II and wall supported back plate I2. A brace I3 is provided for each of the brackets II and is secured thereto by welding or otherwise. Each of the plates I2 of the brackets III has provided therein openings I4 and I5 through which screws or other means may be passed to secure the bracket It toa wall or other supporting surface.
The brackets III are spacedly secured together through the medium of a bar I6 the ends of which are bent upwardly and riveted or otherwise secured to the arms I I as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.
As shown in Figure 4 the rod I6 may be in two sections I1 and I8 one of which telescopes within the other to provide for longitudinal adjustment of the rod I 6, thereby spacing the brackets I8 close together or far apart.
As is obvious the device is attached to a wall or other vertical surface by the back plate I 2 and may be used to support a shelf I9 on the arms I I and a towel or other object of this nature can be supported on the rod I6.
Although I have shown and described herein a preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of the invention thereto, and any change or changes may be made in the structure and arrangement of the parts within the spirit of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
1. In a device of the character described, a rod having upturned end portions, a pair of separate brackets each of which includes a perforated back plate for attachment of the same to a vertical surface, an arm for supporting a shelf extending outwardly from an upper portion of said back plate, and an angularly extending brace between said back plate and said arm, said end portions of said rod being secured directly to the under side of said arm and spaced from said back plate of each bracket to provide a rack between said brackets.
2. The device recited in claim 1 in which said rod is extensible.
3. The device recited in claim 1 in which the angularly extending brace is welded to said back plate and said arm.
4. The device recited in claim I in which the end portion of said rod and one end of the angularly extending brace are secured to the arm of each bracket at substantiallythe same point.
