invention relates to improvements in "clothes racks and has particular reference to "acollap'sibleor folding rack. i
' The primary ob 'ect of the 1nven tion resides "o ina foldable clothes rack which will be found convenient and useful to campers to permit ,"the hanging of articles 0f cl0thingfthereon when the rack is in setup position for use, and which may be compactly folded for packing in a-relativelyismall space when not. in
, use. Although the rack is intended fortemporary use, the same may beset up forper- .manent use'in store rooms and like places for a c I the hanging of. clothes and other articles 'thereon.
cl Another object Ofthli, ipveiiubni to pro vide a collapsible clothes rack which-is strong andrigid when set up for use to withstand the g A; further object is the provision ofa'foldable clothes rack which is-easy and quick to setup and co11apse',5}and whichv may. be handledbyasinglepers'on. i
With these. and otheriobje'cts in view, the
1 2 I invention resides/in the: certain novel conf e n ds;of the bottom rail sections 26 and which struction, combination and arrangement o parts, the essential features of which are here 1 inafter' fully described,= are' particularly pointed out in the appended claim, andare n30 illustrated in the accompanyingadrawings,

rail section bthefrack is in set up position and like Referring: to the "drawings; by jreference tions 16 and 17 respectively, and upper rail sections 18 and 19 respectively, the rail sections of the respective sides being hingedly connected together as at 20 and 21 respecare disposed on the outer sides ofthe side rail so that the rail sections fold outwardly theother when in folded position. For bracing the joints between the respective side rail sections, I provide a pivoted arm 22 carried by one of the sections and provided .with a slot 23 for receiving a pin 24 carried byfthe other adjacent section. WVhen theiarm 22 is in engagement with the pin the respective joints between the sidexrail'sections is strengthened and prevented; from accidental breaking.
The bottom rail 14: is constructed of bottom rail sections I ing connected by a hinge 27, the pivot of the 25 and 26, the meeting ends be-' hinge being disposed on the under side of the vrail sothat theljoint breaks inwardly when the bottom rail sections 25 and" 26 are folded one upon the other. Angle brackets 28 are carried by opposite sides of the free angle plates are pivotally connected to the lowerendof the lower rail sections 17 as at end of the rail sections 17 to extend therethrough andv engage the supporting surface.
or ground when the frame or rack is in set. up. position. fThe outer end ofthe bottom 25 carriesplates 30 on opposite sides thereof and which plates are in turn pivoted to th'e'lower end of the lower side rail sections 16 as at 31. The lower end of the section 1.6.exten'ds through the plate 30 when the other lower rail section 17 engages the ground orsupporting surface. For locking the pivot connection between therail section 25 and the rail section 16, I providethe plates 30: with arcuate shaped slots 32 for the reception'of pins33 extending from opposite'rsides of the rail section 16. For locking the pin in the, arcuate shaped slots' 32, the plates carry pivoted latch members 34 having ,arcuate slots35 which receive the shank of the i 5; an upright pin 33. This latch member prevents any possibility ofjthe joints breaking when the rack is in set up position. r e
V 1 The top rail 15 is constructed of top rail sections 36 and 37, the meeting ends of which are pivotally connected together by a hinge 38; The hinge 38 includes a pair of'pivotally connected socket sections 39 and'tO, the rail section 37 extending into thejsoeket member 39', While, the inner endof the section 36 is received in the socket member 4C0. 1 The.
top of the socket member 39 is cut away as at 4:1 to permit breaking of the joint at which time the inner end of the rail sections '36 which overlap the pivot of the passes through Figure 5"of' the t that the hinge; joint connecting the top rail the slots 41 .asindicated in sections breaks outwardly and'not' inwardly as does. the bottom rail sections. The outer "end of the top rail sections 36 has angle plates -42 fixedly connected to opposite sides and f WhiCh straddle opposite sides'of the upper Taihs'ections l8andt;to. which shctions the plates are pivotally connected as'at' 43. .By
,pivotal'ly connecting the rail sections 18 and Q 36 by the angle plates42, the rai'l 'sectio n 37 is permitted to foldagainst the section '36] and-lie parallel tothe side rail section 18 when th'e par-ts are 'in folded-position as illust-rated in Figure 20f the drawings; u 'Carriedby the outer ends of. the top'rai sections 37fand secured to'opposi'te'sides thereof are 'hook pl'a'te'si 44, the outer "ends of which edWithslots orvnotches lii-for'receiving outwardly extending-pins {6 carried by the up per ends of the sid'eirail section .19. When the said plates straddle the sides of the side'r'ail sections 19 and lock "the severalrail sections in set up position;
For supporting the framest'ructure 11in legs 47, the upper ends of which are pivotalconnected (mule same axis to brackets48 fixedly secured to the outer :sides 'of'the re it 's'pectivle lower. rail sections 16 and 17 The p with elo'ngr ated slots -brackets48 are provided 7 44-9 for slidably 'receiving the pivot pinsconnecting the inner" ends of .a pair of brace links 51, the opposite or outer ends of. the links being Y spective leg members 47.

The joints connecting the sev eral hingedly connected sections are locked against accidental breaking and therefore the rack is capable of supporting many articles thereon, Assuming that the rackis inset u'ppos'itio'n as shown in Figural," and itis desired to collapse the same,,the V 'to disconnect the hook plate 44 with the pins 46 whereupon the hi-nge joint first step is 38 may be broken as Wellas: the joints 20 and 2l so that the top and side rail sections may be which the position as folded one upon the other, after legs are moved to their folded 34 r is disconnected w from their engaging pins 33' to permit folding of;.the sections. of :the
bottom 4 rail 14. fWhen -c0m'pletelyfolded in "Figure 2 the structure, appears asfshown and provides .a compact ly' pa'ckedand carried; Thedevice will be found extremely useful for campers in} setting Lupin" tents for use and for collapsingwhen not in use and during travel from place to place.
While I have shownand described vvhat V previously, explained, and the; catchmembers Ideem'to be the most desirable embodiment i of my invention,fI

"I claim as new andde'sir'eto secure by Letters Patent is A ,foldable clothes rack side rails, "each side Frail constituting upper and loW'enhingedly connected" side rail sections the outer edges thereof,Wherebythe rails can "be moved inwardly, a bottom rail conrail sections, the bottom the' 'upperside rail sections, and interengagi'q f o supp t ng e ck in n upstan ing position when said rail sections are in set up posit on each leg assembly comprising a Wish it to be understood; that various changes'in c'ons'tructionfmay be r sorted to if desired, and I do not'liinit my- "self to' the exact details herein shown and deing elements carried by lthefree' end of the, other top rail sectionfand the free end fof tlie other uppersideirailsection the hinges of the top and. bottom rai under edges thereof whereby the sections of J said-rails can :be' movedupwardly, andiol'ct ffagble legs carried'by the loiversilde rail secs'being located on the v n thus dean-ha the inventio that V the hinges of'the sid'eirails 'beingrlocated on pain of members pivotally connected at their nppenends to a siderail, a link pivotally connected to each member and extended inwardl y a slotted part on the side rail, and a pin passing through the inner ends of the 1 links and engaging the slots whereby when the pin is in the lower end, of the slot, the links will holdthe leg members, in extended position and when the pin is in the upper end of the slot the links will draw the leg 7 members inwardly and-parallel to the sidev rails.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
