first embodiment

[0016]Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several views, FIG. 1 depicts a perspective view of a support apparatus 100 in accordance with the present application. It will be appreciated that apparatus 100 overcomes one or more of the above-listed problems commonly associated with conventional support systems.

[0017]In the contemplated embodiment, apparatus 100 includes a rigid support arm 120 which is configured to attach to a horizontal cylindrical clothing bar as an attachment surface via an attachment member 122, wherein arm 120 extends away substantially perpendicular from the clothing bar (not shown). It should be appreciated that multiple apparatuses 100 could be attached to one cylindrical clothing bar. In this embodiment, support arm 120 projects away from the cylindrical clothing bar, allowing for a user to hang one or more articles on stay knobs 128, thereby presenting the articles to the u...

second embodiment

[0019]In FIGS. 2 and 3, a perspective view of apparatus 100 is shown, having similar form and function as the apparatus of FIG. 1, including support arm 120 and attachment device 122. In this embodiment, a bumper 130 is attached to one end of support arm 120 and configured to brace against a rear wall of the closet. The bracing effect permits the clothing bar to support the weight of several garments facing out to assist in garment selection. It should be appreciated that attachment member 122 can move along arm 120 via a collar 122b, thereby allowing for the user to extend more or less of arm 120 out from the clothing bar as desired. In addition, in this embodiment the attachment member is preferably lined with a material 122a of any suitably non-marrying material, such as rubber or felt pad.

[0020]It should be appreciated that one of the unique features believed characteristic of the present application is the ability to secure support arm 120 to a support structure, thereby projec...

Abstract

A support apparatus for supporting and displaying hanging articles, the apparatus includes a support arm extending from a first end to a second end; an attachment member secured to the first end of the support arm; and knobs to receive the hanging articles; the attachment member is to tighten onto a closet bar; and the support arm extends substantially perpendicular away from the closet bar.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates generally to supports for hanging articles, and more specifically, to a support frame designed for the consumer market which can be mounted on a clothing bar or shelf for the support of hanging clothing or other articles.2. Description of Related Art[0002]Support systems for clothing and other hanging articles are well known in the art and are effective means to hang, organize, or hold clothing. One common system is a clothing bar, which is typically straight or circular and receives clothing to hand in a display fashion. Certain commercial clothing bars may also employ support frames which are attached to the clothing bars in order to showcase or enable sorting garments by type.[0003]One of the problems commonly associated with conventional support systems is inconvenient installation and use. For example, typically support systems must be installed independently of standard shelving, wracks, and other structure...
