I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0.l 760,726, dated vMay 24, 1,904.
UNITED STATES Patented May 24, 1904'.
Application filed February 18, 1904. Serial Nie. 194,305. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
linvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Wardrobes or Show-Cases, of which the following is aspecitication. .This improvement has particular relation to wardrobes are made convenient and available -for the suspension of various articles, and
particularly of garments and the like, While permittingsuch easy accessand full inspection as would otherwise not be possible.
The improvement isgap'plicablein some of its forms to use` in Wardrobe-trunks, showcases, and similar devices.
This improvement is particularly'useful in making convenient and available f or the suspension of various articles those spaces which-'- wouldotherw'ise be so low7 as to be unsuited to Where a closet is so low that aman or woman is obliged to lean over in order to look into it, it is not convenient for lthe suspension" of garments and the like on account of the'difliculty in picking out the particular clothing desiredv at any time and because the user must either stoop down in order to see the hooks 'or must gropeabout for the'hook required.'`
In my United vState's 1Patent No. 642,075 I have shownv a device applicable to any'closet,
, ent. There are many instances where a spacel which permits the clothing to be drawn forward into sight when any particular garment is desired and also Vfacilitates the hanging up This device is particularly suitable to deep and' narrow closets for wardrobes, but is not so useful in connection with wide and shallow closets.
ticularly advantageous in those spaces which are otherwise too low for convenient suspension of the garmentsand are too shallow and wide todevelop the full convenience of the device described in my aforesaid Letters Patof this kind can be very conveniently-com bined with a sideboard or bureau, with or Withv iently.

The present improvement will be found parhitherto'such spaces have not been capable of employment for `hanging garments conven- The present improvement is applicable not only in the particular cases above set out', but in many other localities where other forms of suspending means are not convenient. means whereby lcertain forms of closetsand or wardrobe opened, so as to show my improved apparatus.. Fig. 2 is a vertical median section of the same with doors removed,- and Fig.3 is a sectional view lof certain de- V tails.,
Any convenient form of wardrobe or closet rlis shown at 1, the samebeing preferably pro- -videdwith a door or vdoorsZ, which may be out a mirror above the space in question, and
of any desired character. In my Letters Patent above named the garments are shown hung with their width. at right angles to the direction in which they can be slid in and out of thecloset; but the present improvement involves the use ofa hanger-support so placed that'the garments can be4 drawn out of the Width.
In the drawings the garments are shown at 3 in Fig. 2 suspended upon hangers shown at direction of their greatest 4 in Fig. l, which hangers are provided Vwith hooks resting upon the immediate hangersupport 5, which takes the form of a horizontal rod on which said hooks can slide and from which they can :be easily removed. The hanger-support 5 is carried bya tilting frame, which preferably comprises a-base-board 6 at one or both sides of theclosetorwardrobe l and appropriate bracing means which In the specific form shown two base-boards 6 are employed, connected by the horizontal braces? and the diagonal braces 8. The tilting frame which carries the hanger'- support 5 is pivoted at both sides, and said frame preferably occupies the'entire Width of the wardrobe.
' In Fig. 3 there is shown the preferred'pivotal means-whereby the base-boards 6 are attached to their supports; The base-plate 9 IOO is fixed to the inside of the wardrobe 1 and is provided with a sleeve 1() near its center, through which the securing-pin 1,1 projects. This pin is preferably provided with a screwthread at its outer extremity and shaped with a retaining-head which can be embedded in the side of the wardrobe, which is shown in the figure. 6 is perforated and fits over the sleeve 10, be-
ing provided with a large washer 12 around the perforation on which it is pivoted. The butterfly-nut 13 serves to secure the baseboard in place by being screwed onto the end of the pin l1.
The principal use of the base-board 6 is to prevent the clothing or garments carried by the hangers 4 from rubbing on the side of the wardrobe or against the door or doors when the frame is tilted backward or forward The base-board 6 can be further utilized as a fiat abutment against whieh'the garments can be pressed firmly by any desired means-as, for instance, by the presser-barlli, shown in the drawings, which is employed in the manner set forth. in my Letters Patent No. 661,947.
The arrangement so far described is particularly suitable to those closets which are not much more than deep enough toaccommodate the width of the clothing and are at the same time wide enough to permit a large number of garments to be. placed fiat one on the other from side to side of the closet.
In any form of closet, however, and whatever the form `of hangers used this device will be found most useful when for any reason it is not convenient to enter or look into the space where the garments are hung. In such a case access is very easily had to all the garments at once by using the device shown in the drawings.A It is only necessary to draw the tilting frame forward until the hangers are brought far enough in front of the edge of the closet to bring the garments into easy view and reach. IN hen in this position, the projection 15 on the frame comes in contact with the fixed stop 16,and the whole frame is then secured from any tendency to fall forward.v
l It is to be-observed that the pivots of the tilting frame are best p laced about half-way between a vertical planethrough the rod 5 in the extreme backward position (shown in Fig. 2) and a similar plane through said rod when drawn into its extreme forward position. (Shown in Fig. 1 and indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2.) By adopting this arrangement the level of the rod ispthe same in both extreme positions, and the weight of the whole tilting frame and of the garments carried thereby tends to preserve each extreme position into The lower end of the base-board' which the frame is broughtuthat is to say, gravity tends to press the back of the frame against the back of the closet or other support which may be provided for it when in the position shown in Fig. 2, and the same effect will be produced when the frame is tilted forward until the projection 15 strikes the stop 16. By making the distance sullicient between the hanger-support 5 and the pivotal line of the tilting frame the lift of the hanger-support 5 during passage back or forth may be made as small as desired, thus making the effort required to move the frame very slight.
It will be seen that while garments may be normally kept pressed in proper folds against the base-board by means of the bar 14 it is easy to disengage them when the tilting frame is drawn forward and in that position to remove any one garment which is then clearly in view without any of the others.
It is to be understood that while I have shown in the drawings an apparatus fastened to the sides of the closet or receptacle this invention covers a device of the character claimed however mounted and wherever fastened within such receptacle.
A variety of changes may be made in this invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the same, and l am not to be understood as limiting myself to the details hercin shown and described.
What I claim ise l. In a device of the class described, areceptacle, a tilting frame pivoted within the same near the forward bottom edge thereof, and comprising two sides and bracing means at the rear, a hanger-support carried upon said frame and extending at right angles to itsdirection of movement, hangers suspended crosswise of said hanger-support and a stop placed so as to limit forward movement of the frame when the hangers are brought into view in front of the receptacle; substantially as described.
2. In a device of the class described, a receptacle, a tilting frame pivoted therein, and comprising a flat base-board against one side of the receptacle, a horizontal hanger-support fixed to said base-board at right angles thereto, hangers suspended crosswise of said hangersupport and a stop limiting movement forward when thehangers are brought intoview in front of the receptacle; substantially as described.
