HAT AND COAT RACK FOR BEDSTEADS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,301, dated December 8, 1903.

Application filed April 1'7, 1903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. DICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bayonne,

- in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hat and Coat Racks for Bedsteads; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsj to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in hat and coat racks of that kind or style particularly designed for attachment to the headpost of iron and brass bedsteads and similar vertical standards.

The invention embodies a vertical standard provided with laterally-extending means for holding and securing it in position, hangers for the articles, and an adjustable stand or support to receive an article, allas willbe hereinafter fully specified and the novelty thereof distinctly pointed out and definitely claimed. ,p 3

I have fully and clearly illustrated my improvements in the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein- Figure-'1 is a perspective view of a bedstead of a well-known type, wherein my invention is shown in connection therewith. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the complete device. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the stand attachment, partly in section, to show the manner of attaching the stand to the supporting-arm. Fig. 4 is a detail view, partly in vertical section, showing the manner of connecting the upper supporting-arm to the bed-post.

In the drawings similar parts appearing in the several illustrations are designated by' similar reference notations, and, reference being bad to the drawings, A designates a standard made of any suitable materialand of such length as will suit it for the uses intended. Adjacent to the lower end of the standard is formed an arm 1, projecting lat-. erally at right angles to the standard and formed on its outer end with a bifurcation 2, adapted to set about and take in the ver- Serial No. 153.107. (No model.)

tical support, as the bedpost, and thus sustain the standard in vertical position.

Adjacent to the upper end of the standard A is an arm 3, projected horizontally and in vertical alinement to the arm 1 and formed with an eye 4 on its free end, which eye is adapted to'rest on the upper end of the bedpost and have the threaded stem of the post-- knob pass therethrough, so that when the arm is arranged in the required position and the knob is screwed down the arm will be clamped tight between the base of the knob and the end of the post, substantially as indicated in Fig. 4 of the drawings. At the lower end of the standard are formed hooks 5, on which may be hung such articles as may be desired, and at the upper end portion the standard is bent outward, as shown, and formed or provided with a verticallyextended hat-support 6, below which are pro-' vided suitablegarment-hooks 7, all of which supports are for well-known purposes.

8 designates an arm formed with a sleeve 9, slidably arranged on the standard and held in any position thereon by means of a setscrew 10, let through the sleeve and bearing with its inner end against the standard. The

,outer portion of the arm'8 is directed vertically, as shown, and at its upperend is screwthreaded to take in a threaded socket-piece ll, fixed centrally to the under face of a table or stand piece 12,whereon maybe placed such articles as may be desired.

To connect the device in position, the knob of the bedpost is removed, then the standard is disposed in relation to the post with the arm 3 resting on the upper end of the prising a standard, a lower arm projectinglaterally from the standard and forked at its outer end, an upper arm extending from the In testimony whereof I aflix my signature standard in vertical alinement with the lower in presence of two witnesses. arm and formed With an eye in its free end, coat and hat hooks at the upper end portion WILLIAM JOSEPH DICK 1 5 of the standard, an arm slidably mounted on Witnesses:
