It is an object of the invention to provide a contractable rack for supporting clothes hangers on which clothes are hung as they are removed from a drier.
Another object of the invention is to provide a contractable rack that is suspendable from a ceiling, is simple to operate, economical to make, and uses a minimum number of parts.
Other objects and a more complete understanding of the invention may be had from the following description and drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a sideelevation of the invention with folded arms;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along section lines 33 of FIG. 2, somewhat reduced;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along section lines 4-4 of FIG. 3; and I FIG. 5 is another sectional view taken along section lines 5-5 of FIG. 3.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BEST EMBODIMENT Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 the invention comprises a ceiling mount 10, a tubular body 12, a hinge base 14, and a lock block 16 rigidly connected end to end in that order by screws 18. Arms 20 are pivoted by respective pivots 22 in channels 24 defined longitudinally in oppositely disposed sides of body 12, and an operating shaft 26 is slidably mounted longitudinally therein. A tension line 28 connects arms 20 with an interior end of the slidably mounted operating shaft 26 through a transverse hole 30 defined in body 12 intermediate its ends. Springs 32 are mounted in body 12 between arm pivots 22 and transverse hole 30 and adapted to outwardly bias arms 20 when pivoted into channels 24. The length of tension line 28, the distance between ceiling mount end of body 12 and transverse hole 30, and the distance of longitudinal travel of operating shaft 26 are coordinated to lower arms 20 to a position normal to body 12 from a position parallel thereto at the respective limits of travel of shaft 26 longitudinally in tubular body 12. An eliptical flange 34 fixed to shaft 26 adjacent and exterior end thereof fits through a similarly shaped hole ceiling mount 10.
.36, interiorly defined in lock block 16, and rides up on erably is oval or eliptical in cross-section. Channels 24 are defined by body 12 in the oppositely disposed sides with the longest radius. Screws 18 fasten ceiling mount 10 to an overhead which may be directly over a clothes drier from which clothes are to be unloaded. Similar screws 18 horizontally driven in the recessed part of ceiling mount 10 and into the recess-received part of annular body 12 along its shortest radius at respectively oppositely disposed, ends thereof secures body 12 to Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, and 5, annular body 12 defines a center longtiudinal hole having a larger diameter in the part between transverse hole 30 and ceiling mount 10 than in the part between said hole 30 and hinge base 14, the larger diameter part being for receiving both operating shaft 26 and a bight of tension line 28.
I Referring to FIG. 3, hinge base 14 is cross-sectionally shaped to conform to an end of body 12 and is partially recessed in continuation of channels 24 to permit the pivoted ends of arms 20 to swing without binding.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, lock block 16 defines an oval or eliptical center hole 36 similar in shape and slightly larger than flange 34 in a fixed end thereof, and defines a longitudinal center hole coaxial with the center hole of body 12 and oval center hole 36 but with a diameter slightly larger than the largest diameter of oval flange 34 for the remainder of the length of lock block 16. The long sides of oval hole 36 are oppositely beveled with bevels 38 as indicated in FIG. 5 for flange 34 to ride up on when operating shaft 26 is rotated as it is pushed toward ceiling mount 10 to thereby lock said operating shaft in its fully inserted position in the body.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, shaft 26 has a handle 44 fixed to an exterior end projecting from a free end of body 12, and a hole 46 defined adjacent an oppositely disposed interior shaft end.
To operate after mounting on an overhead, handle 44 is rotated until flange 34 registers with oval hole 36 and pulled downward to slide operating shaft 26 in coaxial mined by tension line 28 that passes theret-hrough being unable to descend into the smaller diameter center hole I defined between transverse hole 30 and hinge base 14.
The channel ends of hole 30 may be beveled downwardly and outward toward their respective channels, the longitudinal hole ends may be beveled upwardly and inward toward said longitudinal hole to reduce friction on tension line 28 as it is drawn through said holes.
