GARMENT RACK Filed Nov. 7. 1928 9ATTORNEYS Patented Mar, 4, 1930 WILLIAM LEWIS EVANS, OF WASHINGTON, INDIANA GARMENT RACK Application filed November I This invention relates to racks and, among other objects, aims to provide an improved, simple, inexpensive and sanitary garment rack adapted to be used in closets, wardrobes,
cloak rooms, public garment checking rooms,
restaurants, and the like, and having provision for receiving hats and suspended garments such as coats and cloaks.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front elevation showing the preferred embodiment of the invention applied to a wall;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the rack; and
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the rack shown in Fig. l.
Referring particularly to the drawing, the
selected embodiment of the invention there shown, comprises spaced end brackets 10 having provision to be secured to a wall 11 and a series of bars or rods 12 constituting grille-like shelves are supported by the brackets.
Herein, only two brackets 10 are shown at the opposite ends of the rack but it is to be understood that any number may be employed to support the rods or bars. These brackets are preferably, though not necessarily, made of cast metal and present circular openings 13 between the rows of holes not 150 only to economize with metal but also to improve their appearance. They are also conveniently made substantially square or rectangular and their rear edges have wall engaging flanges or feet 14 perforated to receive screws or other securing elements. Both of the brackets may be made exactly alike to avoid the necessity to make right and left hand ones.
The front rod or bar 12 of the lower set is preferably made of metal pipe which may be enameled or otherwise finished to improve the appearance. This pipe is shown as passing through holes in the brackets and secured thereto by means of lock nuts 15 so that it constitutes a brace and thereby makes the whole assembly more rigid. Further more, it is used to suspend heavy garments draped over coat hangers 16, being sufficient- I 1y spaced from the wall to permit them to to hang crosswise of the rack and it is sufficient- 7, 1928. Serial No. 317,776.
ly strong to sustain the weight without bendin.
3111 of the other rods or bars 12 may be and preferably are made of wood and are adapted to be pushed through the aligned holes in the brackets and secured against longitudinal displacement by small nails or the like driven into them adjacent to the brackets either on the outside or inside walls. Obviously, these bars may be set in suitable sockets projecting inwardly from the brackets but it is easier to slip them through the holes shown after the brackets are put up than it is to preassemble them. Further, they may easily be cut off to any desired length without the worry of making carpenters joints.
The grille-like shelves shown are each intended for hats and-like apparel which is not as heavy as coats. The rods are not only neater in appearance than solid shelves but present less surface for the accumulation of dirt and dust. Thus, the hats or other articles are not wiped over a wide dusty surface to become soiled thereby.
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that the improved racks are very easy to manufacture; the separate parts may be shipped in a small shipping space to be as sembled .on the job by any ordinary workman; that they are very strong and durable;
and are very neat in appearance.
Obviously, the present invention is not restricted to the particular embodiment thereof herein shown and described.
What is claimed is 1. A rack of the character described comprising, in combination, end brackets having provision to be secured to a wall; vertically spaced, horizontal rows of wooden bars supported between the brackets to provide hat supports, the front bar of the lower shelf being made of metal and made fast to the brackets to add rigidity and to afford a coat hanger support.
2. A rack of the character described comprising, in combination, substantially rectangular end brackets each having vertically spaced horizontal rows of holes and perforated feet adapted to be secured to a wall; wooden rods extending through the upper roW of holes to provide a hat shelf; wooden rods and a tubular front metal rod secured in the lower rows of holes and also providing a hat shelf, said metal rod being made fast to the brackets and providing a coat hanger support, and said end brackets each having an opening between the shelves to improve their appearance and to economize With material.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
WILLIAM LEWIS EVANS.
