Filed Dec. 9, 1966, Ser. No. 600,558 U.S. CI. 211-167 It. Cl. A47f 7/24, /02, 5/13 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates generally to the problem encountered in homes and the like in respect to supporting coats and other articles of clothing and wearing apparel brought in by visitors, where the space available for such purpose is restricted and of a small area, More particularly the concept has to do with an apparently acceptable solution of most aspects of the problem and has to do with a novel collapsible and practical costumer or stand.
'In carrying out the preferred embodiment of the invention, a novel portable longitudinally extensible costumer or stand is utilized, having a ring structure for supporting hangers which in turn are adapted to support coats and the like.
According to a modified form of the invention, a costumer or stand is provided with a pair of ring structures and a pair of disc structures, the structures being vertically spaced. The ring structures are constructed to accommodate and detachably support hangers. The hangers are such in Construction that they in turn accommodatingly support varying articles of Clothing and wearing apparel, such as coats, hats, handbags and the like. The disc structures are constructed to accommodate and detachably support umbrellas, overshoes and the like.
In the modified form of the invention, novelty is also predicated on an unusual and novel notched ring structure and on perforated and sectional disc structures mounted on the pole portion of the over-all costumer or stand. By providing the ring structure with a multiplicity of notches and designing the hangers properly, many hangers may be employed and so arranged that the articles carried by the hangers may be arranged and supported to the advantage of all concerned.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a costumer or stand that is adjustable according to the room height, that can be mounted almost anywhere in a room and occupy a minimum of space therein; that lends itself to ready installation within a wide variety of physical surroundings, that is portable and eXtensible having springbiased adjustment means at at least one extremity thereof to facilitate its rapid installation in a given space without the use of extraneous fastening elements.
Yet another broad object of the invention is to structurally, functionally and otherwise improve upon similarly constructed and performing costumers or stands.
For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings and to the appended claims in which the various features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure:

FIG. 8 is a top perspective view of part of one of the ring structures of FIG. 6 showing hangers supported thereon and shirts in turn supported on the hangers.
FIG. 9 is a top plan View of the bottom disc structure shown in FIG. 6.
FIG. 10 is a sectional View thereof taken on the plane of line 10-10 of FIG. 9, on an enlarged scale.
FIG. 11 is an enlarged sectional View taken on the plane of the line 11-11 of FIG. 9.
FIG. 12 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the plane of the line 12-12 of FIG. 9.
FIG. 13 is a top plan view of the lower disc support in partly collapsed condition.
Referring now in detail to the various views of the drawings, the costumer or stand is indicated as a whole by the reference numeral 10. It is of composite construction and is vertically extensible and contractible so that it may be fitted properly between the floor or other support A at the bottom and a ceiling or equivalent surface B at the top. A preferred embodiment of the costumer or stand as shown in FIG. 1 includes a suitable sectional tubular metal pole 12. The lower end of the pole is fitted into a simple rubber suction cup, serving as a cap or base 14, and the upper end is similarly fitted in a rubber suction cap, serving as an end thrust cap 16. The cap 16 bears frictionally against the ceiling B.
The body of the pole 12 is composed of metal tubular bottom and top sections 18 and 20, respectively, and intermediate metal tubular bottom and top sleeves 22 and 24, respectively. The bottom section 18 has a reduced shouldered neck portion 26 to accommodate a telescopic part of the bottom sleeve 22, and the bottom sleeve 22 has a reduced shouldered neck portion 28 to accommodate a telescopic part of the top sleeve 24. The sleeve 24 is held in telescopic and adjustable relation on the top section 20 by means of a collar 30 and a set screw 32 exetnding through the collar and top of sleeve 24.
A sectional ring structure 36 is collapsibly and detachably mounted on the top sleeve 24 of the pole by a collapsible bracket structure 38. This ring structure 36 consists of a plurality of arcuate shaped tubular mem-- bers 40 detachably supported in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. 1 by the bracket structure 38. Each arcuate shaped section 40 is formed with a reduced shouldered neck end portion 42. Both the shouldered end portion 42 and the other end portion 44 of the section 40 are formed with pairs of aligned holes 46, 46 and 48, 48, respectively.
The bracket structure 38 comprises a pair of upper and lower spider - brackets 50 and 52, respectively, the radial arms 54 and 56, respectively, thereof, being bifurcated forming bifurcations with aligned holes 57. The lower bracket 52 is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 24 and the upper bracket 50 is slidably mounted thereon and is adapted to be held in moved adjusted position by a wing set screw 60 extendng through a threaded hole 62 in the body of the bracket and engaging the sleeve 24.
A plurality of rectangular shaped metal arms 64, with a hole 66 at one end thereof, is pivotally connected to the lower bracket 52 by inserting the perforated end thereof between the bifurcations of the arms 56 of the bracket 52 and extending a pivot pin 68 through the aligned holes in the end of the arm and in the holes in the bifurcations of the bracket. A pin device 70 extends radially outwardly and upwardly as viewed in FIG. 1 from the other end of each arm 56. Each -pin device 70 comprises a cylindrical solid body portion 72 with a reduced portion at one end as indicated at 74. The other end of the body of the pin is formed with an annular groove 76 formed with opposed tapered walls. The ring structure 36 is assembled by inserting the reduced shouldered end portion 42 of one arcuate section 36 into the adjacent perforated end portion 44 of the adjacent arcuate section 36. When the arcuate sections are thus assembled end to end, the holes in the reduced shoulder end portions 42 and in the other end portions 44 of the arcuate shaped sections are in alignment and the ring structure may be readily dropped downwardly in the direction of the arrow 78 in FIG. 4 so as to pass the aligned holes over the pin devices 70 and thus detachably interlock the ring structure on the outer ends of arms 64.
A plurality of metal rectangular shaped links 80 pivotally connect the arms 64 to the top bracket 50. This pivotal connection includes a pivot pn 82 extendng loosely through aligned holes in the arm 64 intermediate its ends and in the adjacent end of the link 80. The other end of the link 80 is pivotally connected to the arms 54 of the top bracket 50 by inserting said other end between the bifurcations of said arms 54 and inserting a pivot pin 84 through the aligned holes in the ends of the link 80 and the bifurcations of the arms 54.
In using the costumer or stand 10, the telescopic tubular sections 18, 20, 22, 24 of any desired length are coaXially engaged and adjusted to form a pole which is of a length slightly less than the distance between a ceiling B and floor A. The caps in the form of suction cups 14 and 16 are slipped over the ends of sections 18 and 20, respectively. The bracket structure 38 is slipped over the sections 20 and 24 and the bottom spider shaped bracket 52 secured to the sleeve 24 in any suitable manner, such as welding or soldering or the like. The sections are vertically aligned and the top section 20 is manually moved toward the ceiling B until it engages the ceiling at which time the screw 32 is tightened. The costumer is now fixedly secured between the floor A and ceiling B with the ring structure 36 horizontally disposed ready to receive and detachably support hangers such as the coat hangers 88 shown in FIG. 1 including a wooden arcurate shaped body 90 for supporting a coat 94 and the like and a metal hook 92 protruding upwardly therefrom for looping the hanger slidably and detachably over the body of the ring structure 36.
A costumer or stand embodying a modified form of the invention is shown in FIGS. 6 to 13, inclusive. The costumer or stand 10' dilfers from the costumer or stand 10 of FIG. 1 in that a compression spring 100 is housed within the upper sleeve 24', the outer diameter of the spring being just slightly less than the inner diameter of the sleeve 24' and is adapted to be retained therein. The lower end portion of the spring rests on and is anchored to a cross pin 25. Thus, spring 100 is retained within the area detincd by tubular section 24', t the lower end by the pin 25, and at the upper end by the section 22'. The
spring urges inner end of top section 20', urging the cap 16' of said top section against the ceiling B'.
The costumer or stand 10' dffers further from the costumer or stand 10 of FIG. 1 in that instead of a single ring structure there is provided a pair of sectional ring structures, an upper ring structure 36' and a lower ring structure 36". Furthermore, the costumer or stand 10' supports a pair of metal sectional disc supports in the form of an upper disc support 102 and a lower disc support 104.
The upper ring structure 36' is similar in Construction to the ring structure 36 of FIG. 1 and is similarly supported by a structure 38'. S-shaped hangers 88' are shown removably mounted on the ring structure 36' and mounted on the hangers are shown a hat 106 and a handbag 108.
The lower ring structure 36" is similar in structure to the ring structure 36' but is larger and is provided with spaced notches 110 on its upper periphery for receiving the hook portions 92' of coat hanger bodies 90'. In FIG. 6, a coat 94' is shown supported on the coat hanger 90' and in FIG. 8 shirts 112 are shown supported thereon.
The sectional disc suppont 102 is mounted on the tubular section 22' below ring structure 36" for supporting a umbrella stand 114 depending therefrom. Disc 102 has a sectional body including a substantially semi-circular body section 116 and a similar shaped body section 118 disposed on a plane slightly above t he horizontal plane of section 116. The body sections are formed with spaced openings 120 thereon. Body section 118 is formed with a semi-annular upwardly extending fiange 122 midway the ends of its flat edge, and body section 116 is formed with a similarshaped downwardly extending fiange (not shown). Section 118 is adapted to slide over section 116 to Collapse the disc 102. In the collapsed position, the upwardly extending fiange 122 on the body section 118 and the downwardly depending fiange on the body section 116 form a clamp that frictionally engages the pole -and hold in disc in position.
The umbrella stand 114 is formed with a hollow cylindrical body tapering from top to bottom and including two semi-cylindrical sections 124 and 126. The body is open at the top and closed at the bottom.
