BRACKET FOR CLOTHlNG=CABlNETS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 16, 1907.

Application filed May 2, 1906. Serial No. 314,734.

- citizen of the United States, residing at the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Clothing-Cabinets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to fixtures or attachments for clothing-cabinets, and particularly to a new form of bracket, as shown in the accompanying two sheets of drawings.

The object of the invention is to provide a construction which will accommodate a number of garment-hangers in a compact space and yet make it possible to exhibit the garments fully.

The invention consists in improvements in the supporting member of the bracket, in the carriage, in stops for the carriage, and in supports for the hangers.

Figure 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of a cabinet, showing two brackets of my invention in place, one bracket being partially extended and the'other tully extended and in position for displaying garments hungtherefrom. Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a fragment of the top of the cabinet, showing the two brackets and attached parts in the positions of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view and elevation of a bracket embodying the improvements of my invention, the parts being shown partially extended. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view showing the support for the carriage and its extensible member.- Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view showing the expanding step-block. Fig. (3 is a horizontal sectional view and plan of one of the hanger-bars, showing a stop for limiting its rotative movement.

1 indicates the body of a double cabinet, having doors 2, which are hinged at the sides and adapted to slide back into pockets, as is customary. It will be obvious, however, that the invention is equally applicable to single cabinets and whether having sliding or swinging doors. So, also, the invention may be applied to a cabinet having any number of sections.

3 is the guide member of the bracket, which is adapted to be secured in a cabinet or other convenient place, as underneath a shelf. This guide member is preferably formed of a metal tube having a slot in its under side and slightly inclined toward the front for facilitating the forward movement of the carriage.

d is the main portion of the carriage, which is also preferably formed from a metal tube.

5 5 are arms which extend upward through the slot in the under side of the guide Each oi these arms has a pair oi rollers 6 6, located within the guide, adapted to travel along the flanges termed by the under side thereof. The rear arm 5 is preferably longer than the front arm 5, so that the carriage is sub st ant i al ly horizontal.

7 and 8 are two bars rotatably supported from the under side of the carriage and preterably provided with stop- pins 9 and 10 for limiting their movement.

The outer ear 8 is preferably carried by an extensilrle member 11, which slides in the tuiru ar poi tion of the carriage. To reduce the iriction vetween the extensible member 11 and the tubular member 4, I have provided two series or hall-hearings l2 and 13, arranged in suitable, pockets. The weight of the extensilx-le member 11 and its attached parts causes the hearing 12 to he held against the under surface oi the top of the tubular member a and causes the extensible member to rest upon the bearings 13.

14 is a split block mounted in the tubular guide 8 and irictionally engaging the sides to cause it to act as a stop against the forward movement of the carriage. For expanding this block I have provided an ex- PitliSlOD-SCIQW 15 and a handle 16 for operating it. This handle also serves to draw the stop-block forward or move it backward, as may be desired.

17 is a spring which may be provided at the rear for giving the carriage a normal impulse toward the front. Normally, however, the carriage is forced to the rear and held by means of the stop-block 14c.

The extensible member 11 is normally teleseeped in the tubular portion 4 of the carriage, so that the parts will be in as compact a space as possible, the bars 7 and S be mg arranged beneath the carriage and guide guide, it s1 20 20 indicate hangers for supporting garments. These hangers are adapted to he hung on the bars 7 end 8 and oi course may he rotated with them from thepositioi'i shown j at the left in Fig. 1 to the position shown it When the carriage is extended 3 s 7 end 8 tin-own into their cross- 5 Wise position, the edges oi" the garments sup ported by the hungeis 20 20 are dismayed to view.
