Abstract
A triangular folding clothes rack (1) having a top tubular cross piece (2) with an inner axle (3) to allow a front frame (4) of the rack and a rear frame (5) of the rack to fold outward into an open position for drying articles of clothing and inward into a closed position for storing the rack. Clothes may be hung from the top tubular piece and/or hanging rods (9) either directly and/or by using conventional hangers. Offsets (13) located on the rear frame and extensions (14) located on hanging rods allow clothes to be hung without the clothes lying on top of each other, thereby providing maximum airflow between the clothes to allow for expedited drying.
Claims6
A folding clothes rack comprising:
- a front frame connected to a rear frame;
- a top tubular cross piece located on the front frame having at least one inner axle located inside;
- said front frame further comprising at least two legs extending downward;
- at least one hanging rod located between the at least two legs of the front frame;
- said rear frame further comprising at least two legs extending downward from said at least one inner axle;
- at least one hanging rod located between the at least two legs of the rear frame;
- tubular members located proximal to upper ends of the at least two legs of the rear frame that rotate on the one or more axles, thereby allowing the folding clothes rack to be folded shut for storage and folded open for use;
- tubular offsets located between said tubular members and the upper ends of the at least two legs of the rear frame;
- and
- said tubular offsets each defined as a bend to create further distance between the front frame and the rear frame when the folding clothes rack is in an open position for use and to prevent the at least two legs of the rear frame from being perpendicular to the at least one inner axle.
