The joint has a second finger to be movably received in the first limiting recess such that the first leg is able to align with the second leg for storage.
Claims6
A foot assembly for a clothes rack having a top crossbar, a bottom crossbar and two stanchions respectively and securely connected to two opposite ends of the top crossbar, the foot assembly comprising:
- two first legs each having a first caster rotably mounted on a distal end of the first leg and a first ring formed on a proximal end of the first leg and having a first limiting recess defined in an inner face of the first ring and a first finger extending from the inner face of the first ring;
- two second legs each pivotally connected to the first leg and having a second caster rotatably mounted on a distal end of the second leg and a second ring formed on a proximal end of the second leg and having a second limiting recess defined in an inner face of the second ring to movably receive therein the first finger so as to limit the pivotal movement of the second leg relative to the first leg;
- and
- two joints each having a third ring for receiving distal ends of the two stanchions, a tube extending from an outer periphery of the third ring for receiving an end of the bottom crossbar and a tubular extension formed on a bottom rim of the third ring to extend into the first ring and the second ring, the joint having a second finger extending outward from an inner face of the third ring to be movably received in the first limiting recess such that the first leg is able to align with the second leg for storage and pivotal movement of the second leg relative to the first leg is limited.
