UNITE starts CHARLES FISCHER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
RACK FOR BOOTS AND SHOES.
Application filed March 23, 1925 My invention relates to racks for boots and shoes and the like and more particularly to such a rack provided with means for holding and supporting shoes and boots of varying size, shape or style. By these means such articles may be supported and held in place when not in use, without affecting the shape of the articles or otherwise mar ring their appearance. The construction of the parts permits dress shoes and evening wear pumps and the like to be held by the rack, without the possibility of the outer face of the shoe being marred in any way for the holding and supporting means provided, do not contact with the outer side of the shoe. Furthermore, the construction-of theparts permits varying the angle between the holding and the heel-support1ng meansthereby enabling the shoe rack to hold low shoes, including dress shoes and pumps, at the same time that high shoes are held thereon, each pair of shoes being separately held and apart from the neighboring pair on either side.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide an open shoe rack with means whereby a. number of pairs of boots and shoes of any size, shape or style may be removably held when not in use, said means being constructed so as not to contact wltlr the outer face of the upper of the boots and shoes so held, said means holding each pair of boots and shoes apart and away from the pair on either side of them.
Another of the objects of my invention is to provide a durable shoe rack of firm construction, which may be folded compactly together for shipping or storage purposes.
lVith the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the parts, improvements and combinations more fully pointedout hereinafter.
Referring now to the drawings: Figure l, is a perspective view of the shoe rack in place upon the door.
Figure 2, is a vertical cross-section showing the mode of holding the shoes upon the rack.
Figure 3, is a perspective view showing the rack assembled and'folded for shipment. Figure 4, is a perspective detail of the holding hooks and heel-supporting frame.
Figure 5, is a detail cross-section on line 55 of Figure 1, and j, Figure 6, is a detail view of the pivotal sonnection shown in Figure Serial No. 17,688.
In the form of the invention illustrated in the drawings, a pair of sidebars 1, 2, are provided. These sidebars may be perforated at 14, to receive screws. This enables the rack to be attached to the back .of a closet door and permits the use of the space formerly taken up by the boots and shoes, in the closet, to be used for other purposes.
Two cross bars are provided, the upper crossbar 3, having bent portions 5, 6 and project from the side bars, thus Spacingthe cross bars away from the back of the supporting door and permitting the cross bars and the shoe supporting hangers to hold low and high shoes at the same time.
Tnthe form of the invention illustrated, the heel-supporting member for supporting the heel of the boot or shoe, consists of a onepiece frame having a cross piece 10 and a pair of sidearms 11, 12. The heel-supporting members are mounted on and carried by the. crossbars 3, 4-. The sidearms of each heel-supporting member are looped at one end so as to pivotally and shiftably surround the crossbar by which they are carried (see Figure l). By thus pivoting the heel-supportingmembers on the crossbars, they may be swung about and moved along the crossbar on which they are carried, in any manner desired. Each of the said members is arranged to hold the heels of a pair of boots or shoes.
Means are provided for engaging and holding the boot or shoe at the inner upper. In the form of the invention shown, hooks 13, are provided for this purpose. The looped end of each hook surrounds the crossbar which carries it and the other bent end extends inwardly and is adaptedto engage and hold the inner upper of a boot or shoe. One hook is provided for so engaging and holding the inner upper of each shoe. A pair of hooks are used with each heel-supporting member. Each pair of hooks is preferably arranged on the crossbar carrying them inside the sidearms 11.; 1201? the heel-supporting member with which they are to be used. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, the looped ends of the hooks 13, permits the pivoting of the hooks about the crossbar carrying them and enables them to be moved along said crossbar. By providing separate pairs of hooks for holding the shoe uppers, pivo'tally carried by the crossbars and mounted inside the heel-supporting member with which they are used, these hooks may be swung in or out to hang at any angle, thus varying the distance between the hook and the heel-supporting frame to accommodate low shoes or high shoes or shoes of different heights. The hooks may also be moved along the cross bars independently of the heel-supporting member, in any way made necessary by the style or shape of the boots or shoes to be hold. This is illustrated in Figure 2, of the drawings, which shows a high shoe 15 and a low shoe 16, in place upon the rack.
Having thus described the construction of the shoe rack, its use and operation will be clear. In the form of the invention illustrated, the two crossbars are spaced a suflicient distance apart so that the soles of the shoes held by the upper crossbar will not rest on the shoes held by the lower crossbar. Several heel-supporting frames are provided carried by the crossbars. Each of said heel-supporting members is adapted to receive a pair of shoes. The-heel of each shoe rests on the bottom crosspiece of the member, which, as will be readily seen, does not contact with any portion of the shoe other than the heel. The hooks provided for use with, and arranged within each of the heel-supporting members, by means of their looped ends may be swung in or out or along the crossbar in any way made necessary by the shape, style, or height of the boots and shoes to be held. lhese hooks engage and hold the inner uppers of the boots and shoes and do not touch the outside surface of the boots or shoes. Each pair of shoes may thus be removably held in place and apart from another pair without damaging or marring the shoes in any way.
It will be understood that changes may be made in carrying the invention into effect, withoutdeparting from the principle of the invention.
