Another object of the invention is to provide an: arrangement ofthe character specified in which the racks,- whenthe device is extended-arecapable-of being individually swung apart with out interference from the parts normally' sup porting the free ends thereof.
Anotherobject ofathe inventionis to provide an arrangement of the character specified in which the racks; may be readily interengaged with the support therefor to prevent relative movement of theracks in the collapsed condition: of the-device.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1- is aperspective ofone form t device constructed according to and embodying my said invention, the same being" shownapplied to a 4 trunk and in extended position;
Fig. 2 is a'section thereofon the line- 2'-2- of;
Fig; ,3-isa plan thereof with parts in section, the device being shown1in'collapsed position;
.;Fig..4 is a section on the line P4 ofFig. 3; Fig. 5 is a similar view showing-the parts in projected or extended-position;
Fig. .6is a section onthe line 6-6'oi Fig; 3; n Fig. .7 is a perspective of the means: forpivotally supporting the racks; and- I Fig. 8' is a perspective .of a fixt'ure or bracket for supporting the device shown at Fig. 7 from a wall.
Referring to thedrawings,- I have illustrated my, novel arrangement or devicexapplied' toa to be tightened toclamp'the tongues- 26'and 28 Other objects will: in part be obviousandinn trunk- 10; having: a top-cover '12 and front cover 14. The'interiorof-the-t'op portion of the-trunk is reinforced by 'a U-shaped: metallic strip 16 serving as support for the'tubular tracks or guideways18 and-20=extending along: the opposite sides 1; of the trunk. The guidew'aylfl is preferably permanently securedto the supporting strip 16, thelatter being provided-with inturned front end 22:. for supporting the front end: of the guideway 18. The guideway 20 is preferably: made detachable; and-is provided at the rear end thereof: and at one side with downwardly extending tongues 24; 26 and 28- adapted-to be received" into pockets or openings 30,. 3-2 -and-=34 suitably formed in'the strip"-16;whereby to rig-idly support'the track 20' 70? in position. The attaching members- 26 and 28' are preferably bifurcated at the lower ends,- as: indicated at 36; for receivingthe shanks: of set screws 38 threaded into the strip 16 arid adapted M l 0 against: the strip. V Bot-hrtubular track members or guideways 18 and 20 are open at their forward ends at 40 and 42, and: atthe uppersidesthereof: are provided wit-h longitudinal- slots 44 and 46 substantially. coextensive in=le1igth-v therewith; I
Trolley members" 48" and 50' are" slidably re= .ceived within the guideways 18and' 20* for m'ove' ment in and out, through tlie ope'n-eDdsio'and' 42 thereof.- said trolley members being of slightly greater length than said-guideways and adapted to be received withiri thelatter inthe col lapsed" or retracted position of the device; The guideways l8= and 20- and:- trolleymembers 48' and 50 are preferably non-circular, and the trol'-' ley members are preferably: provided with longitudinal- ribs 52 and 54*projeetinginto'the slotsl'and 46,- wherebyto retain thetrolley. members against rotation and provideclearance" above the W g-nideWays-ior the-hangers or racks 56: The several: racks 1 56 are-*eachprovided atone end with: avertical pintle 58= detaohably received into any of aseries of longitudinally spaced holes- 60' formed in the rib-54-of-themember 50; Theop 7n positeends' :of the racks are provided with notched portions*62 adapted tointerengage or to be hoo'ked into any. of a "longitudinal?seriesof -recesses or notches 64 formed imtlie rib 52- of the trolley member 48, whereby to retain the-several racksin uniformly: spaced relation in the closed position of 'the" devicewithout the hanger ends being" liable-=toslide out. of-place;
The trolley member 48 is preferably. made in twoesectio'ns 66* and 68- hinged together at 70 Q so that whenathamemtienis pulled-out thefront section 65 can drop down out of the way and disengage the racks 56. A dog 72 is pivotally connected to the rear section 68 within a recess thereinand is adapted to enter a slot 74 in the guideway 18 to act as stop to prevent member 48 from being entirely withdrawn from its guideway. Upon backward movement of the member 48 the dog '72.is lifted by engagement with the lower portion of the guideway 18 to allow free movement to retractedposition. At Fig. 8 is shown a bracket or fixture '76 adapted to besecured to a Wall, such as in a closet, and provided with tongue receiving pockets or slots 30 32 and 3% similar to those formed in the strip 16 and adapted to receive and support the track member 20 together with the slide 50 and racks 56 when the assembly is transferred from a trunk to the closet for supporting the garments out side of the trunk. The member '76 isalso provided with set screws 38 for engaging the bifurcated ends of the tongues 26 and 28 when the member 20 is attached to said bracket 6.
The device may be readily pulled out from the position shown at Fig. 3 by grasping the knobs '78. When the member 48 is pulled out sufficiently to allow the section 66 to drop down, the several hangers 56 supported by their pintles-58 may be swung or fanned out relative to each other, as shown at Fig. 1, to allow the clothes orgarments tobe readily removed or-placed in position without wrinkling the garments on contiguous hangers or racks and without the insertion or removal of any garment being interfered with because of the presence of contiguous garments. Upon retraction of the device, the front section 66 is brought into alignment with the guideway 18 and the several hangers 56 hookedinto the notches 64 and retained thereby in fixed spaced apart relation. .When desired the clothes or garments can be readily transferred from the trunk to a closet or the like by detaching the member 20 and hooking the same to a bracket such as Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
