SKIRT-RACK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 593,519, dated. November 9, 1897. Ap li ti fil d December 26,1896. Serial No. 617,047. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, CYRUS H. DEVLIN and NORMAN H. CowLEs, of Bay City, in the county of Bay and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Skirt-Rack, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
. The invention relates to display stands or racks used in stores and for exhibiting various merchandise; and its object is to provide a new and improved rack more especially designed for supporting a large number of skirts and trousers in such a manner as to permit customers to readily examine the same and ,without danger of folding and creasing the skirts or trousers, as is the case when such skirts or trousers are piled on counters or the like, as heretofore practiced.
The invention consists principally of spaced rods and fastening devices extending inwardly at the adjacent faces of the rods to receive the hang-up loops of the garment.
The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as
will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
The improved skirt-rack is provided with rods A and A, placed a suitable distance apart and preferably arranged horizontally, with the inner or adjacent faces of the rods carrying fastening devices B B, preferably in the shape of hooks, adapted to receive the hang-up loops 0, attached to the waistband of the skirt 0 to be displayed. The rods A and A are placed a distance apart so as to correspond approximately to the width of the skirt at the doubled-up waistband, so that the skirt properly hangs from the rods and can be readily examined and removed from the hooks whenever desired. The fastening devices are arranged in pairs, one device on each rod, and any desired number of such pairs are arranged one behind the other to support a large number of skirts on one pair of rods. I
The rods A and A are attached to standards D, secured at their lower ends in sockets E, formed of a suitably-constructed base F, adapted to rest on the floor of the store. Set-screws. E screw in the sockets E to securely fasten the lower ends of the standards in place. In order to hold the rods a suitable distance apart, the rods are preferably connected with each otherby a bridge-piece G and near their ends with stay-rods H, as is plainly shown in Fig. 1.
Now it will be seen that by the arrangement described a large number of skirts can be readily supported on the rack to permit of examination and allow the convenient removal of any one of the skirts after selection by the purchaser without disturbing the remaining skirts on the rack.
The device is serviceable for home use in a wardrobe to conveniently hang up skirts, trousers, and like garments by the use of hooks, tapes, and spring-clips attached to parallel horizontal arms or bars.
The device is further designed for displaying skirts and trousersby manufacturers and dealers.
Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination of a base having a plurality of upwardly-opening sockets, two standards each having downwardly-extending portions respectively carried in the sockets, two rods running parallel with each other and respectively supported in horizontal positions by the standards, two stay-rods extending transversely between the first-named rods and rigidly connecting the two, the said rods being respectively located on the sides of the standards, a bridge-piece extending transversely between the rods at the standards and rigidly connecting the two, and fastening devices carried at the inner sides of the rods and capable of supporting articles of apparel upon the fastening devices and between the rods, substantially as described.
