Description
Patented Nov. 22, 1949 a UNITED- STATES PATENT OFFICE Hugh L. Edwards, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application December 22, 1945, Serial No. 636,659
1 Claim. 1
My invention relates to a hanger and dryin rack and has for its principal object, to provide a simple, practical and inexpensive rack which may be conveniently used for the 51181361151011 of a number of articles displayed for the inspection of purchasers, as a rack for the orderly suspension of neckties, or for suspending various small articles of varying apparel such as hosiery, handkerchiefs and the like, for drying after being laundered.
A further object of my invention is, to provide means for mounting the rack, on a wall or other support, so that the main body of the rack may project outwardly from its support in a horizontal plane, or hang in a vertical plane immediately adjacent said support.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, m invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. l is a plan view of the rack.
Fig, 2 is a side elevational view, and
Fig, 3 is a detail view, partly in section and showing the rack suspended in a vertical plane.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a prefered embodiment of my invention, Ill designates an arm or rail which may be formed of plastics, metal or wood and which preferably tapers from one end to the other.
Projecting from the sides of the wide end portion of arm Ill are pins II and I2 disposed one above the other, and adapted to receive this wide end of the arm, is a bracket, preferably metal, which comprises a back plate l3 and parallel side walls M.
This bracket is suitably secured, preferably by screws l5, to a wall or other upright support and arm I is detachably secured to said bracket by the engagement of upper pins 1 I in short vertical slots 5, formed in the upper portions of the side walls l4 and the engagement of the lower pins I! in the lower ends of inverted L-shaped slots l1, formed in the lower portions of said side walls.
The vertical legs of the L-shaped slots I! are in vertical alignment with the upper slots l6 and thus arm l0 may be firmly supported in a horizontal position.
When it is desired to suspend arm III in a vertical position from the bracket, the wide end of said am is elevated until pins H are positioned above the upper ends of slots I6 and said arm is now swung downward into a vertical position,
with lower pins l2 in the lower ends of the vertical portions of slots I1 (see Fig. 3).
To enable the arm to turn downward as just described, the lower rear corner thereof is round... ed off as designated by l8.
Rigidly seated in arm I0 are the central portions of a plurality of spaced parallel rods IQ, of plastics, metal or the like, same being disposed at right angles to said arm, and mounted on the ends of these rods, are small heads or buttons 26, of any desired shape, for instance, spherical as illustrated.
Mounted to slide freely upon rods l9 between arm l0 and heads 20, are conventional spring clothes pins each comprising a pair of jaws 2|, held in operative relation by a spring 22, having a coiled portion 23 interposed between said jaws and such coiled portions receive the rods l9. These pins which are readily adjustable on rods l9, receive and suspend the articles to be displayed or dried and thus the rack provides simple, convenient and inexpensive means for accomplishing the functions for which it is intended.
Adjustability of two pins on each rod l9 enables articles of different width to be conveniently suspended for display, or while being dried.
It will be understood that minor changes in the size, form and construction of the various parts of my improved parts of my improved hanger and drying rack may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention, and scope of which is set forth in the appended claim.
I claim as my invention:
In a hanger and drying rack, the combination with a bracket having upright side walls, in the upper portions of which are formed U-shaped notches and in their lower portions with inverted L-shaped notches, the vertical portions of the latter being in vertical alignment with said U- shaped notches, of an arm provided On its rear end with a flat face disposed at right angles to the axis of the arm, pairs of studs projecting from the side faces of the rear portion of said am and positioned so that when said arm is horizontally disposed one pair of studs occupy said U-shaped notches with the other studs occupying the lower portions of said inverted L-shaped notches, and with the flat rear end face of said arm bearing against the face of the bracket between the side walls thereof, said arm capable of being swung downward into a vertical position below said bracket when the upper pair of studs 3 are removed from said U-shaped notches, spaced parallel rods seated in said arm, heads on the ends of said rods and clothespins mounted for sliding movement on said rods.
