1 Claim.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in garment-drying racks, and more particularly to a portable bar on which stockings or other g-arments may be hung for drying and embodying means whereby the bar may be easily and quickly attached in position to a wall or other supporting structure Without necessitating the use of nails, screws, or other fastening devices which injure er mar the finish of the wall.
More specifically, the invention embodies the provision of a rack including a drying bar having rubber suction cups connected to each end of the bar and by means of which the bar may be firmly secured in position to a wall or other supporting structure.
An important object of the invention vis to provide a shell enclosing the rubber suction cup and providing spring means between the shell and the stem or arm of the suction cup to hold the latter in its applied position.
A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is efficient and reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described'and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like lparts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a View in elevation of the drying rack in attached position;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the shell enclosing the suction cup;
Figure 3 is a similar view taken on a line 3--3 of Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on a line 4-4 of Figure 3.
Referring now to the drawing in detail Wherein, for the purpose of illustration, I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates the bar of a Wall-attached drying rack having each end attached to an arm or stem 6 by means of a rounded head 'I threaded on the outer end of the arm and having a recess 8 in one side thereof in Whichan end of the bar 5 is inserted and suitably secured in position thereto.
The arms or stems 6 and the attaching means therefor at each end of the bar 5 are of duplicate construction, and accordingly, a detailed explanation of one will suice for both.
The arm 6 is slidably mounted longitudinally in a tapered shell 9 constructed of plastic, metal or `other suitable material, the central portion of the shell having a reinforcing web or partition I0 through which the arm 8 is slidably positioned, and a pair of lugs II are formed in the shell adjacent the partition I9 at diametrically opposite sides thereof and in which the ends of a leaf spring I2 are loosely secured. The spring I2 extends transversely of the arm G through a slot I3 formed therein.
A rubber suction cup I4 of conventional construction is secured to the inner end of the arm 6 by means of an annular groove I5 formed in the arm in which the rubber material of the cup is expanded in gripping engagement with the arm.
In the operation of the device, the suction cups I4 are pressed against a wall or other supporting structure, by pressure exerted against the outer ends of the arms 5, the collapsing of the cups creating the necessary suction to adhere to the Wall. The collapsing movement of the cup slides the arm 6 inwardly of the shell 9 causing the spring I2 to flex and pulling the inner edge of the shell inwardly to t closely against the wall. The tension of spring I2 is not strong enough to release the cup from the wall.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A bracket comprising an arm, a rubber suction cup carried at the inner end of said arm for attaching to a supporting structure, a cover enclosing said cup and slidably receiving the arm, and connecting means between the cover and the arm to hold the cover against the structure, said connecting means comprising a resilient bar.
