Clothes rack

Abstract

A collapsible mobile clothes rack that is easily transportable and stored in the fully collapsed position. The folding mobile clothes rack including a base unit comprising a first base frame member having a first plurality of wheels and a pivotally connected first vertical support member with an extension arm, the first base frame member being hingedly connected to a second base frame member having a second plurality of wheels and a pivotally connected second vertical support member with an extension arm and a releasbly attached support bar adapted for hanging clothes thereon when connected to the extension arms in the fully extended position and releasably adapted to connect to the base unit for pulling the clothes rack in the fully collapsed position.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to clothes racks for hanging and transporting clothes, and more specifically to a foldable clothes rack that collapses into a rolling, easily transportable, low profile unit.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Clothes racks are generally used for storing clothing items in personal settings, as well as use in the garment sales trade and fashion industry for transporting and displaying clothes for sales or marketing. Trade users often have multiple clothing samples to be displayed and / or transported on the garment rack requiring the racks to be rigid and durable. Traditional garment rack designs in industrial use have been large, heavy and bulky requiring the user to exercise strength in controlling the racks during transport with no way of readily transporting the rack in the users automobile.[0003]Recently, various clothes racks have been developed for hanging clothes and that may be collapsed for storage. However, these c...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]Briefly, and in general terms, this invention is directed to a mobile clothes rack that easily assembles to a fully extended position capable of supporting hanging clothes, and also easily folds to a fully collapsed position for ease of storage, transport in the collapsed position, and placement in a compact area such as a user's automobile trunk.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional garment rack designs in industrial use have been large, heavy and bulky requiring the user to exercise strength in controlling the racks during transport with no way of readily transporting the rack in the users automobile.

However, these clothes racks are not easily folded into a small footprint and reassembled into the expanded structure to hold clothes.

The assembly and knock-down are typically complex and sometimes require more than one person to perform.

Further, once a clothes rack is collapsed to its folded position, moving the collapsed device to a designated place of storage, or to the user's automobile trunk, is often burdensome and strenuous for the user.

Additionally, most such devices do not fold to a sufficiently small footprint to easily fit into a user's automobile.
