Abstract
A tie rack designed to support both untied and pretied neckties which includes a base plate, posts received in sockets formed in the base plate and projecting from a front face thereof, wire loops disposed between the posts with the ends of the loops received in the sockets, and adjustable attaching brackets telescopically receiving opposite ends of the base plate. The spacing of the posts and the loops is such that untied neckties can be draped over all of the posts while all of the wire loops are occupied simultaneously by pretied neckties with the hooks thereof engaging the loops.
Claims2
A combination tie rack comprising:
- a. an elongated, substantially rectangularly shaped base plate having front and rear faces thereon,
- b. a plurality of sockets formed in said base plate at said front face thereof at uniformly spaced intervals along said front face,
- c. a plurality of posts having the bases thereof received in said sockets,
- d. said posts projecting from said front face of said base plate substantially perpendicularly with respect thereto and thereby being shaped to support untied neckties thereon,
- e. a plurality of discrete, semi-circular wire loops projecting outwardly perpendicularly from said front face of said base plate,
- f. ends of each of said wire loops being received in adjacent sockets with said posts, thereby disposing said loops intermediate said posts,
- g. said wire loops being adapted to be engaged by the hooks of pretied neckties to suspend pretied neckties therefrom and the spacing between said posts and said loops being such that all of said posts and said loops can be occupied simultaneously by untied and pretied neckties, respectively,
- h. a pair of substantially C-shaped attaching brackets telescopically receiving opposite ends of said base plate,
- i. said attaching brackets, at each end of said base plate, overlying said rear face and upper and lower edges of said base plate and portions of said front face adjacent said upper and lower edges, and
- j. openings formed through said base plate to receive fasteners therethrough, thereby adapting said base plate for direct attachment to internal structural members of a vertical supporting surface.
A combination tie rack comprising:
- a. an elongated base plate having front and rear faces,
- b. a plurality of discrete posts received in sockets formed in said base plate at regularly spaced intervals,
- c. said posts projecting outwardly from said front face of said base plate at an angle thereto such that said posts are adapted to support untied neckties draped thereover,
- d. a plurality of wire loops mounted on said front face of said base plate at points thereon adjacent bases of said posts and projecting ouwardly from said base plate in the same direction as said posts,
- e. said loops being adapted to be engaged by the hooks of pretied neckties to thereby suspend pretied neckties therefrom,
- f. said loops being disposed intermediate said posts,
- g. said loops having opposite ends received in said sockets, and
- h. the spacing between adjacent posts and loops being such that untied neckties can be suspended from all of said posts while pretied neckties are suspended simultaneously from all of said loops.
