lie it known that l, Ann/nun ABICLSON, a citizen of the United States, and aresident oi ihecityot New York, borough of lilanhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Comhination llat, Coat, and Umhrclla .ltack', oi which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to comhination-racks tor the storage of articles, and more particularly to the type oi rack suitable for storing hats, coats, and umbrellas so as to render the same comparatively secure.

flte'l erence is to he had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference inrlicate correspoinling parts in all the figures.

.liigure II is a front elevation showing the rack 01 my invention ready for use. Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section through the locking mechal'iisn'l. Fig. 4: is a rear eleration of the same, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal section upon the line 5 5 of Fig. 1 looking in the d irection of the arrow.

i l. casing 6 is secured, upon a wall 7 and is lrovided with a slideway 254* and with a vcrti cal stem 8, projecting u 'nvardly therefrom. The extreme upper end of the stem 8 is provided with a boss ll, from which hangs an ellipticz l rim-clamp 10 for engaging the rim of a hat. This rim-clamp is provided with a stem 11, pivoted at 12 and free to move radially, so as to cause the rim-clamp 10 to swing inwardl y or outwardly, as indicated by full and dotted lines in Fig. 2. The lower end of the rim-clamp is provided with a neck 13 and with a head 14;, 'irovidcd with a heard 15 integral therewith. A hasp 1G is provided with a slot l7, hounded at its upper edge hy a shoulder iii For engaging the heard 15, as indicated more particularly in Fig. 3. The hasp is pro vidod with a neck 19, integral therewith, and is mounted upon a pivot and free toswing relatively to the same. The slidcway 8* is integrally connected with a plate 21, having a lug 2i integral therewith, this lug being pro" vided with acircular aperture 21'. The plate 2i is further provided with a lug 21", having a keyhole 21, as indicated by full lines in Fig. 3 and by dotted lines in Fig. 4. into grally mounted upon the plate 21 is a hoss 21",

which is closely approached by a recess 2i" in the lower end of the hasp 16, the arrangement prel erahly heing such that the hasp 16 cannot he hrought quite into engagement with the plate 21, so that there will at least he a small space between the recess 21" and the hoss 21". A horn Qi" is integrally connected with the plate 21 and projects outwardly therefrom and slightly upward, as indicated in l ig. The plateQl is further provided with a cylindrical hoss 21", which, together with the hosses 2i and 21, engages the wall 7 directly when the apparatus is in position. integrally connected with the plate 21 are jaws 22, preferahly ot' the shape indicated in .l ig. The platcQl is DI'OVhlCtl with screw-holes 23, wherehy it may he secured rigidly upon the wall. The plate 521 isalso provided with lugs 241;, integral therewith, these lugs being engaged by a lead-spring 25, secured rigidly to a boss 26, this hoss locing integrally mounted upon a sliding holt 26. Tllhis sliding bolt is provided with slots 27 27, the slot 27 being comparatively near a slot as in the plate 21., as will he understood from Fig. A lug 29 is integrally mounted upon the plate 2.1. and is engaged hythe head 1a of the hasp 16 when the parts are in the position indicated in li ig. 3. Thislug 29 acts as a lin'liting-stop for preventing the head M from moving downwardly so as to disengage the heard 15 from the shoulder l8--that is to say, a person grasping the neck 1301* the rimclamp 12 and pulling the same downwardly is unable to disengage the heard 15 from the shoulder 18, because the hoss 2i) prevents downward movement oi the head 14:. lit is tl'lOlOfOl'O impossible for a person to distm'h the general position of the rim-clamp .10 run less the hasp i6 is lirst raised, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 52. A leaf-tuning3d is mounted upon the sliding holt 26 hy means of a screw 31., the upper end oi the spring having a tendency to move toward the holt 2h. The hasp 16 is provided with a lockinghead 16", having a shoulder i6"integral therewith, the locking-howl l6 being pressed upon constantly hy the leaf-spring 30. A guidepin 32 is disposed across the slideway ii and is loosely engaged by the sliding bolt 26. A key 33 is provided with a tine 33 integral therewith and is used for the purpose of unlocking the hasp 16, thereby releasing the head 14;. Connected with the jaws 22 and depending therefrom are chains 3 T, each supporting an umbrella-cup 35, as will be understood from Fig. 1. A garment such, for instance, as an overcoat -is shown at 36 and provided with a collar 37, having a lillet 38. It may be connected with the device. as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. A hat is shown at 39 in Fig. 2.

My invention is used as follows: \Vhen the rim-clamp 1O occupies the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2, the device occupies its normal or unlocked position. If new it is desired to store the hat 39, the same is so disposed that the crown projects through the elliptical rim-clamp 10, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. If it is desired to hang up the overcoat 36, the lillet is slipped over the horn 21. If there are umbrellas to be stored, they are placed in their respective ferrules in the cups 35 and their handles between the

jaws

22 and 16 the latter being integral with the hasp 16. The neck 13is now pressed downward and toward the wall 7, so as to force the hasp 16 into the position indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. Thehead let then enters the slot 17 and engages the boss 29. The recess 21 at the lower end of the hasp grips slightly upon the cloth of the overcoat 36, thus preventing its ready removal. The fillet 38 being unable to pass between the outer end of the horn 21 and the hasp 16, the coat cannot be removed. The locking-head 16 being rounded and provided with a shoulder 16 forces the bolt 26 upward, and the same immediately springs into position behind the shoulder 16" in the same manner as a spring-lock. This secures the hasp rigidly in position and it cannot be moved to unlock it. In order to release the hasp, and consequently to release the rim-clamp 10, the key 33 is employed. This key is inserted through the keyhole 21 and then turned around, as indicated in Fig. at, so that the tine 33 may be brought into engagement with the lower right-hand portion of the sliding bolt 26. The tine 33" is unable to engage any other part of the bolt 26 because of the presence of the lug 21. The key being brought into the position indicated in Fig. et is pressed vertically upward, the bolt 26 being raised, and thus caused to disengage the shoulder 16. The hasp 16 being thus released and being acted upon by the tension of the leaf-spring 3O swings angularly outward, so that the hat may be removed from the rimclamp 10. The same movement releases the umbrellas and also the coat 36.

Piracy of the articles is prevented by the fact that only a key of the type shown can be used to move the sliding plate or bolt 26 from its position, as indicated in Fig. &.

i l l l l l I l l l l I do not limit myself to the elliptical form for the rim-clamp nor to the exact construction of any or allof the parts shown. Neither do I limit myself to the use of the device for securing articles of the particular kind mentioned, as various modifications of my invention will readily suggest themselves to persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of my invention.
