COMBINATION TABLE AND RACK FOR CLOTHING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907.
Application filed February 19,1906. Serial No, 301,855.
To all whOm it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALno H. Lown, a citizen of the United States, residing at Urbana, in the county of Champ aign and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Combination Table and Rack for Clothing, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to a combination table and rack for holding and displaying ready made garments.
The object of the present invention is to provide a combination table and rack of sim ple and comparatively inexpensive construction, designed for holding and displaying ready made garments, and adapted to be arranged within the space occupied by an or dinary table, and capable of enabling the coats of suits tobe conveniently arranged on hangers, whereby they may be more advantageously displayed than with the ordinary table, on which the coats are arranged in piles and which permits only a small portion of each coat to be seen.
A further object of the invention is to provide a combination table and rack of this character having a top adapted to receive the trousers and vests, and capable of being re adily removed for transferring its contents from one place to another without interfering with the coats.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the clai1ns,hereto appended; it being under stood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the .invention.
In the drawing :-Figure l is a perspective view of a combination table and rack constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the top portion thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a portion of the rack, illustrating a slight modification of the invention.
Like numerals of reference designate cor responding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
1 designates the top of the table which is designed to receive the vests and trousers of suits, and which is preferably composed of two boards or sections connected together by transverse cleats 2 arranged at the ends and center of the table top and supported upon a horizontal frame 3. The horizontal frame, which is substantially oblong, is preferably constructed of tubular metal, the sides 4 being connected to the ends 5 by elbow couplings 6, which form shoulders 7 for engaging the contiguous end cleats Z of the table top, whereby the latter is held against longitudinal movement on the horizontal frame. The intermediate and end cleats 2 are provided at their lower edges with end recesses or notches 2, which receive the sides of the frame and interlock the top of the table with. the same, whereby the table top is held against accidental lateral movement on the supporting frame. The ends 5 of the horizontal frame are connected by T-shaped couplings S with legs or standards 9, which are located at the centers of the ends of the horizontal frame and which are provided at their lower ends with circular attachment plates or flanges 10. The attachment plates or flanges 10, which are provided with central openings to receive the legs, are pierced by screws 11, or other fastening devices, for securing them to the floor. The transverse cleats, which strengthen the top of the table, also serve to space the same from the sides 4 of the horizontal frame, the intervening spaces 12, between the top of the table and the said sides, permitting garment hangers 13, to be readily hung on and removed from the said sides 4, whereby the frame is adapted to serve as a rack for supporting the coats of suits, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawing. The coats are adapted to be hung on the sides of the rack from one end of the table to the other, and they are completely exposed .to view, so that the pattern may be clearly seen Without removing the garments from the rack. The combined table and rack is adapted to hold as many suits as an ordinary table, on which the coats are placed in piles, and the rack will enable any one of the garments to be removed from it without removing or handling another garment.
The top 1, which is removabl y supported by the rack, may be readily transferred with its entire contents, from one place to another, without disturbing the garments suspended from the rack, and the clothing, which is compactly arranged on the table top and on the rack, may be conveniently covered while sweeping the floor or over night when the IIO store is closed. Also the combination table and rack greatly lessens the labor of selling and handling clothes, and a garment, after being removed, may be quickly replaced, so that at the end of a busy day, or less period of time, a store will not present the appearance so common in those stores where all the garments of a suit are arranged in. piles on tables and shelves. Furthermore, the device is adapted to relieve the shelves of those stores where only the coats and trousers of suits are placed on tables and the vests are arranged elsewhere.
In Fig. 4- of the drawing, is illustrated a slight modification of the invention, the end bar 14: of the rack consisting of a casting and provided with suitable sockets, into which the side bars 4 and the leg or standard 9, are secured.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A device of the class described, comprising a Supporting frame having hanger receiving portions at opposite sides and provided with legs, and a table top removably supported by and on the said frame, and extending over but spaced from the hanger receiving portions.
2. A device of the class described, comprising a horizontal supporting frame having opposite hanger receiving portions and provided with legs, and a table top removably arranged on and spaced from the supporting frame to expose the hanger receiving por tions and enable the frame to serve as a rack for garment hangers.
3. A combination table and rack for clothing, comprising a horizontal supporting frame having hanger receiving portions and provided with legs, and a table top arranged on and spaced from the supporting frame to eX ose the hanger receiving portions and enabl e the frame to serve as a rack for garment hangers, said table top being detachable to enable it and its contents to be removed from the frame.
4. A combination table and rack for clothing, comprising a frame provided with legs and having hanger supporting bars, a removable table top also supported by the said bars and spaced therefrom to provide hanger receiving portions, and means carried by the said supporting bars for holding the table top against movement on the same.
5. A combination table and rack for cloth ing, comprising a frame having hanger supporting bars and provided with legs, and a removable table top provided with cleats having notches or recesses to receive the said supporting bars and spacing the table top from the same to permit the hangers to be placed on and removed from the said bars.
6. A combination table and rack for clothing, comprising a frame having hanger supporting bars and provided with legs, a removable table top provided with cleats having notches or recesses to receive the said supporting bars and spacing the table top from the same to permit hangers to be placed on and removed from the said bars, and means carried by the supportin bars for engaging the cleats to prevent en wise movement of the table top.
7. A device of the class described, comprising a substantially oblong frame provided with opposite hanger receiving portions and having legs, said frame being also provided at its ends with couplings forming shoulders, and a table top having cleats arranged on the supporting frame and en aging the said shoulders and spacing the tab e top from the hanger receiving portions.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
