Abstract
A rack designed to vertically store footwears over one another and to collect water, sand, mud and/or any other debris falling therefrom while avoiding spillage of footwear stored on lower levels.
Description
- (a) Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a footwear rack. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a device for cleanly and neatly storing boots or overshoes especially during winter or periods of bad weather, when water, mud salt and all kind of impurities accumulate on the footwear and may dirty the shoe storage area.
- (b) Description of Prior Art
- Winter and bad weather conditions generally cause footwear to be wet or soiled by mud, salt and the like, which leads to spillage on floors especially in public buildings, and even at home.
- To avoid extensive cleaning, public and private buildings often comprise an area where shoes, shoes covers or boots can be left by their users. However, footwear storage areas have generally to be wide since vertical storage of boots, shoes, cover shoes or the like would normally causes spillage on footwears stored on lower levels.
- To alleviate this problem, the prior art discloses footwear racks designed to store shoes or boot over one other. For example, racks for storing footwear are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,661,098 to Side, U.S. Pat. No. 1,810,308 to Wandeler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,762,573 to Collins and Collins, U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,993 to Blanc and Jorcin, U.S. Pat. No. 3,587,864 to Delisle, U.S. Pat. No. 3,311,242 to Miklya and U.S. Pat. No. 4,997,093. Although solutions have been proposed to alleviate spillage on floors with soiled footwear, none of the solutions proposed in the prior art provides a means for vertically storing shoes or boot, while preventing footwears stored at upper levels to soiled those stored at lower levels, and being easily adaptable to variable shoe dimensions and avoiding any damage to footwears.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a footwear rack designed to collect in a container any liquid, mud, sand and/or impurities that may drip away from a plurality of footwears disposed in the rack.
- According to a general aspect of the present invention, there is provided a footwear rack comprising a container and grid means on top of the container, the grid means to support at least one footwear and allow matter dripping out therefrom to accumulate the said container. The rack further comprises a vertical hanger connected to the container, at least one grid shaped footwear shelf on the vertical hanger and gutter means for each shelf, the gutter means being arranged to receive dripping matter that escapes from at least one additional footwear placed on the shelf and transfer same to the container without contacting any footwear disposed below.
- More particularly, the invention relates to a footwear rack designed to collect in a container, any liquid, mud, sand and/or impurities that may drip away from a plurality of footwears disposed in said rack, said footwear rack comprising:
-
- a container and grid means on top of said container, said grid means being designed to support at least one footwear and allow matter dripping out therefrom to accumulate in said container,
- a hanger connected to said container,
- at least one grid shaped footwear shelf on said hanger, and
- gutter means for each said shelf, said gutter means arranged to receive dripping matter that escapes from at least one additional footwear and transfer same to said container without contacting any footwear disposed below.
- Advantageously, said hanger may have various orientations as far as it permits to hang shelf(s) thereon. Preferably, said hanger may be a substantially vertical hanger, and more preferably said hanger may be a substantially vertical rectangular box having an inner space therein defined by a front face and a rear face.

- in said gutter means, a stopper for engagement against said front face.
- Alternatively, said mounting means may comprise:
-
- in said front face of said box shaped hanger, at least one pair of hook engaging holes, said holes being formed in said front face;
- in said at least one shelf, at an inner end thereof, downwardly extending hooks, said hook being removably engageable in said hook engaging holes; and
- in said gutter means, a stopper for engagement against said front face.
- Advantageously, said front face of said box shaped hanger may be also formed with a substantially horizontal slot that is disposed below each said at least one pair of hook engaging holes, said gutter means comprising a downwardly inclined flat member for each said at least one shelf and disposed below same, said flat member having an upper end connected to an outer end of said shelf and a lower end extending through said slot into said inner space.
