Abstract
A shaped figure designed for suspending apparel accessories such as ties, belts, scarfs and the like wherein the figure comprises a flat plate of injection molded plastic having cutouts configured to form a series of downwardly inclined sets of steps, wherein a lower set is parallel to an upper set. The shaped figure is coated with fluorescent paint. A modification of the above is optionally designed with but one set of steps and the steps converge or diverge toward a centered stem or stems. A support block integral with a hook extends from a centered stem. The block as well as a base and a pair of arcuate sections can be apertured to enable the insertion of a fastener to support the rack.

A rack for supporting apparel accessories such as ties, belts and scarfs comprises a flat plate of injection molded plastic made in the form of a shaped figure with divergent, downwardly inclined sides, that join lower sides, said figure having cutouts configured to form sets of steps, said steps having horizontal legs and shorter vertical legs, each set of steps being spaced from said inclined, divergent sides and being aligned symmetrically with each other with a second set of steps spaced below a first set and being parallel thereto, a pair of elongate cutouts intermediate said sets of steps and being arranged parallel to said sets of steps, a hook shaped member projecting upwardly intermediate said downwardly inclined sides and integral therewith, a pair of curved members extending outwardly from said hook member, each curved member being adjacent said inclined, divergent sides, said curved members ending in spirals, and a pair of ringlets located between an origin of the hook member and the curved member.
A rack for supporting apparel accessories such as ties, belts, scarfs comprises a flat plate of injection molded plastic in the form of a shaped figure having a frame of downwardly diverging sides that join arcuate members, said arcuate members intersecting a broad horizontal base, diverging sides enclosed within said frame parallel to said diverging sides of said frame, a set of symmetrically aligned steps being cut out from said parallel diverging sides, said steps having a short vertical leg and a longer horizontal leg, said horizontal legs extending inwardly toward a centered stem, a distance between said vertical legs increasing incrementally as said parallel sides diverge, a support block projecting upwardly from said stem, said block being integral with said stem and said diverging sides of said frame, a hook extending upwardly from said block, said horizontal legs of a last pair of steps being adjacent horizontal member that forms a broad base, coincident apertures located at the juncture of said stem and said diverging sides of said frame said and said base, and aligned apertures located in said arcuate sections, said apertures enabling fasteners inserted therein to fix said rack to a support.
9 A rack as in claim 2 wherein said plastic is a thermosetting plastic.
