Description
F. E. RUCH TIE HOLDER Sept. 7, 1965 Filed March 20, 1964 INVENTOR. Que/4 8W -KM United States Patent M 3,204,777 TIE HOLDER Paul E. Ruch, 669 Washington St., Apt. 706, Denver, Colo. Filed Mar. 20, 1964, Ser. No. 353,564 2 Claims. (Cl. 211-113) This invention relates to a tie holder.
An object of the present invention is to provide a tie holder which enables ties to be fixedly retained in suspended position, whether for display or for storage.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tie holder which is simple in construction, positive in action, and commercially practical.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a front view of the tie holder according to the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is an end view of the tie holder of FIG- URE 1.
FIGURE '3 is a plan view of the tie holder of FIG- URE 1.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral designates, generally, the tie holder according to the present invention.
The tie holder 10 comprises an upstanding elongated flat backing 12 which has opposed ends 14 and 16. A plate 20 abuts against one face of the backing 12 and extends along the one face of the backing 12 from a point inwardly of and adjacent one end or end 14 to a point inwardly of and adjacent the opposite end or end 16, the plate 20 being fixedly secured to the backing 12 by means of screws 22.
As will be observed from the drawings, the plate 20 has a plurality of longitudinally-spaced supporting bars 24 which project in an upwardly-sloping direction from the face of the plate 20 remote from the backing 12. The bars 24 are arranged in a horizontal linear row and all of the bars 24 slant at the same angle toward one of the ends of the backing 12 or the end 14.
The angle of slope of all of the bars 24 is the same, the angle with respect to the plate 20 being 10 degrees with tolerances of minus 2 degrees and plus 6 degrees. If these tolerances are exceeded, the holder will not prevent ties from slipping oif the bars 24. When a tie is hung over a bar 24 it is firmly pressed into the space representing the 10-degree angle, and due to the taper of such angle, the tie is held securely by friction and gravity. Thus, the tie is prevented from slipping and falling to the floor.
The slant of all of the bars 24 is at an angle of 30 degrees with tolerances of plus or minus of 7 /2 degrees. This angle which is critical, serves two functions. The first function is to enable the individual bars 24 to support the neckties with the tie fronts in orderly arrangement and to display same without twisting. It the critical 3,204,777 Patented Sept. 7, 1965 angle exceeds the 7 /2 degree tolerance the ties will not hang neatly.
The second function of the critical angle or slant of the bars 24 is to provide further securely against the ties slipping oif the bars 24. If the critical angle is less than the indicated tolerance of minus 7 /2 degrees the more horizontal aspect of the bars 24 will permit the ties to be dislodged from the bars 24 and the never-slip advantage of the design will be lost.
The tie holder 10 includes a hanger means 30 which rises from the top of the backing 12 midway of the ends 14 and 16 for suspending the backing from a supporting element aflixed to a wall surface. Specifically, the hanger means embodies an inverted rigid V-shaped member 32 which has the free ends of its legs 34 attached to the top edge of the backing 12 by means of screws 36.
The thus described tie holder 10 may be suspended in a clothes closet, or on the inside of a door, or it may be used to display ties in a retail store.
It will be apparent that the embodiment shown is only exemplary and that various modifications can be made in the construction, materials and arrangement within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A tie holder comprising an upstanding elongated flat backing having opposed ends, a plate abutting against one face of said backing and extending along one face of said backing from a point inwardly of and adjacent one end of said backing to a point inwardly of and adjacent the opposite end of said backing and secured to said backing, and a plurality of spaced tie-supporting bars extending along and projecting in an upwardlysloping direction from the face of said plate remote from said backing, said bars being arranged in a horizontal linear row and all slanting toward one of the ends of said backing.
2. The tie holder according to claim 1, which includes in addition rigid hanger means rising from the top of said backing midway of its ends for suspending the backing from a supporting element afiixed to a wall surface.
