Description

Aug. 24, 1965 G. FRANKLIN APPAREL SUPPORT RACK Filed April 1, 1964 IN VEN TOR. GPA/W62 FQ/I/VA/Z/IV United States Patent enemas AKPAREL 'SUPPURT RACK Granvel Franklin, 2534 hit. John St, Flint, Mich. Filed Apr. 1, 1964, "Ser. No. 356,486 3 Claims. ((3. 211-96) This invention relates generally to-a clothing apparel supporting rack and more particularly to such structures which are disposed for pivotal support on a closet door jamb or closet wall which can be moved into or out of position for use.
In the ordinary household, closets have a tendency to become overloaded after a period of time, and, therefore, cause a considerable inconvenience to the occupants of the household. This condition is particularly inconvenient when such Wearing apparel is used daily or at frequent intervals. Under such uses the clothing becomes wrinkled and creases if it is hung in a tightly packed closet between other clothing. It is, of course, a desired object to maintain clothing in a fresh condition without creases and wrinkles if at all possible.
Furthermore, foot wear including shoes, boots, etc., tend to clutter the floor of a closet when there is no convenient place for their being stored. It is a well recommended practice that an individual should not wear the same pair of shoes in two consecutive days. Therefore, at least two pairs of shoes are kept at the disposal of each individual of a household for their immediate use. As one changes between two pair of shoes from day to day, the remaining pair is usually left on the floor of the closet and causes a further inconvenience to the closets use. This problem increases with increased use of such foot wearing apparel as boots, slippers, working shoes, etc. For instance, during inclement weather, boots and rubbers will be left in the closet floor by the individual members of the household, since they expect to continue using them, and, therefore, neglect to store them in a convenient location.
It is, therefore, a primary object of this invention to provide a clothing apparel rack which will eliminate many of theproblems presently occurring in the common household closet.
It is another object of this invention to provide a clothing apparel rack which can be quickly and easily moved into position for ready access of clothing apparel thereon and moved out of such position for access to other clothing within a closet.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a clothing apparel rack which willjfacilitate support of all types of clothing apparel.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a clothing apparel rack which provides optimum support of all types of clothing while maintaining simplicity of structures and elements, therefore, reducing the ultimate consumer cost thereof.
These and other objects of the present invention will be more fully realized and understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the clothing apparel rack of the present invention illustrating several items of clothing apparel thereon and also illustrating in partial section a support therefore;
FIGURE 2 is a perspective fragmentary view of the invention on a large scale illustrating several elements of the invention and their interconnection;
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary and partial sectional view on an enlarged scale of the mounting structures of the present invention; and
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIGURE 3.
3,2Z,Z% Patented Aug. 24, 1965 Like reference numerals throughout the various views of the drawing are intended to designate the same or similar structures.
With reference to the drawing and in particular to FIGURE 1, there is shown the preferred form of the present invention. As shown therein, the, apparel supporting rack includes a vertical or upright member 10 having a bearing member 12 secured at a lower end thereof forengaging a floor surface. A horizontal member 14 is pivotally mounted at one end thereof to a door jamb 16. The other end of the horizontal member and the upper end of the vertical member are secured together by means of braces 18 and 20. The horizontal member may be pivotally mounted to a closet wall or other vertical support rather than. to the door jamb as shown in the drawing. A guide wire 22 is disposed between the door jamb and the horizontal member for further support thereof and is secured thereto by means of eyes 24.
As shown in FIGURE 2; the horizontal and vertical members may be composed of two pieces of lumber joined together by means of bracket 18 and a lap joint with one another. FIGURE 3 illustrates more clearly the preferred form for the mounting structures of the present invention and includes a rod 26 bent at right angles and having one end thereof disposed in a hole 28 of member 14. A pair of eye members 30 are secured to the door jamb as shown in FIGURE 4 for retaining the other end of rod 26 in pivotal support.
Secured to the horizontal and vertical members are a plurality of supporting members having the respective ends thereof angularly disposed with one another so as to provide the one ends thereof extending angularly from the respective members. As shown, members 32 are provided on vertical member 10 for supporting such apparel as footwear and are supported thereon by means of staples 34. One end of members 32 are disposed for extending angularly outward from the respective members 10 and 14. Members 32 are provided at their upper ends with a bent portion 36 for receiving clothing or apparel thereon and the other end is bent such as indicated by the reference numeral 38 in the shape of an eye for receiving a hanger thereon or for limiting rotational movement of the member. The horizontal member may also include eyes 40 extending from the lower surface thereof for receiving hangers therein. It can be appreciated that the members for supporting clothing apparel and footwear can all be fabricated to be the same in structure and shape. Those members 32 which are secured to the vertical member 10 are restricted from rotational movement by the eye piece 38 while those members 32 on horizontal member 14 provide a hanger support by means of eye 38. As shown, supports 32 on vertical member 14 have one end thereof including eye 38 extending from the one side of the vertical member and have the other end thereof extending angularly outward from the other side of the vertical member.
The entire structure is adapted for receiving such apparel as the footwear indicated by the reference numeral 42 a hanger 44 having a jacket 46 thereon, and a hat 48.
The principles of the invention explained in connection with the specific exemplification thereon will suggest many other applications and modifications of the same. It is accordingly desired that, in construing the breadth of the appended claims they shall not be limited to the specific details shown and described in connection with the exemplification thereof.
What is claimed is:
1. A clothing apparel rack comprising an upright member having a bearing member secured at a lower end thereof, a horizontal member secured at an upper end of said upright member and disposed for pivotal mounting to a door jamb, a plurality of apparel supporting members pivotally mounted and secured to said upright member and said horizontal member, said support members each extending angularly outward from said upstanding and said horizontal members.
