Description
June 30, 1953 E. w. FRANKLIN NECKTIE RACK Filed Oct. 12. 1951 INVENIOR. ,Z'dzz/ard' W 1 7471711271 ATTORNEY Patentecl June 30, 1953 N T owl-cs NECKTIE RACK Edward Franklin; Hyattsville;. Md. Application October 12, 1951, Seri'aIiN'o. 251,039".
This invention relates: to necktie racks such as are adapted to support. a plurality ofneck.- ties, and from which a tie. may be selected. and readily removed.
The object of the invention. is to provide a rack of the type mentioned in which a large number of ties may be individually supported upon. the rack, moved laterally with respect to adjacent ties for the purpose of inspection and choice, and the chosen tie removed. from the rack, all without injuriously rubbing or marring any of the ties thereon.
A further and particular object of the invention is to provide a rack of the class mentioned in which the ties are each supported upon a separate suspension member, said members being slidably mounted upon a supporting slidebar, and of such construction that the individual suspension members cannot rotate on the bar and cannot be accidentally displaced therefrom, but may be readily removed from and replaced on the bar as desired.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device as above stated to which suspension members may be readily added for additional ties as found necessary.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tie rack as stated in which the slidable suspension members may be of different colors to correspond to the color of the tie to be supported thereon so as to facilitate the selection of the desired tie.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a necktie rack embodying the invention, two suspension members being illustrated on the slide-bar;
Fig. 2 is a detail rear elevation of one end of the rack including several suspension members, and illustrated upon an enlarged scalej Fig. 3 is a. detail cross section taken through the slide-bar on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and illustrating a suspension member being placed on or removed therefrom;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary front elevation of the rack, illustrating the suspension members in various colors; and
Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one end of the supporting slide-bar illustrating a slight modification thereof.
Referring to the drawings, I0 indicates the supporting slide-bar, and II the suspension members slidably mounted thereon. The bar I0 2 Claims. (Cl; 21187 is preferably straight throughout the major portion of its length, andangularly bent adjacent the ends asat I 2, terminating in attaching lugs I 32 The bar It is provided. adjacent its end or ends with a pair of notches Hi and I 5 extending inwardly from the upper and lower edges: of: the bar respectively and in vertical alignment. with each other for a purpose hereinafter described. The bar Ill may be of any preferred non-circular crosssection so that the suspensionmembers cannot rotate thereon andchafethe adjacent ties, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
Each suspension member II comprises a lower bodyport'ion I-B- having a recess I-I extending inwardly from the front edge I8 thereof to receive the mid-folded portion of a tie, and an upper portion I9 having a recess 20 to receive the bar ID. The recess is preferably of the same noncircular configuration as the cross section of the bar H3 to prevent any rotary movement of the member II on the bar; and is sufficiently larger than the bar to permit easy sliding of the members thereon.
Depending from the top IQ of the upper portion I9 is a lug 2|, and a similar lug 22 extends upwardly from the upper portion 24 of the body I6. The lugs 2| and 22 normally engage the inner face of the bar In to maintain said bar in the recess 20. The ends 21' and 22' of the lugs 2| and 22 respectively are spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the distance between the inner ends I l and I5 of the notches I4 and I5 so that when a member I I is brought into alignment with said notches it may be readily placed upon or removed from the bar IIJ,
as illustrated in Fig. 3.
The portion of the member I I below the recess II constitutes a horizontal arm 25 upon which a tie is hung, and the forward end thereof is provided with an upwardly extending lug 26 to prevent the tie from accidentally slipping from said arm.
A slight modification of the bar I0 is illustrated in Fig. 5, wherein the notches I4 and. I5 are formed in the angularly offset portions or supporting arms I2 of the bar instead of in the main portion of the bar as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive.
To facilitate selection of a tie the several suspension members II may be of different colors to match the general tone of the tie to be sup' ported thereon; and this is illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings. The colors may be incorporated in the material of which the members are made when formed of plastic material; or may be applied as a coating, dye, paint or enamel when the members are manufactured of other materials such as wood or metal. The colored members ll may be arranged in any desired order on the bar, such as having all of a color grouped together or they may be indiscriminately placed on the bar as illustrated in Fig. 4. In either manner, the eye will be quickly directed to the hangers having ties of the desired color sought. It is obvious that new suspension members may be readily added as required.
It is believed that the construction and use of the device will be clear from the foregoing description.
I claim:
1. In a necktie rack, a slide bar of non-circular cross section, in combination with a plurality of substantially fiat tie suspension members, each of said members comprising a lower body portion having a tie receiving recess open at the front of said member, and an upper portion having a recess open at the back to receive said bar, said bar being provided adjacent each end with a pair of aligned notches extending inwardly from the upper and lower edges thereof, respectively, the edges and surface Of said bar between said pairs of notches being smooth and unbroken, and a pair Of lugs on each of said suspension members to normally engage the inner face of said bar to maintain said member on said bar, the ends of said lugs being spaced apart a greater distance than the distance between the inner ends of said notches.
2. In a necktie rack, a slide bar formed of a flat strip of material bent rearwardly at its ends forming angularly disposed supporting arms terminating in attaching lugs, in combination with a plurality Of tie suspension members each comprising a lower body portion having a tie receiving recess open at the front of said member, and an upper portion having a recess open at the back to slidably receive said bar, one of said supporting arms being provided with a pair of vertically aligned recesses extending inwardly from the upper and lower edges thereof, respectively, and a pair of lugs on each of said suspension members to normally engage the inner face of said bar to maintain the same on said bar, the ends of said lugs being spaced apart a slightly greater distance than the distance between the inner ends of said notches.
