Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A necktie rack comprising an elongated back of hollow box shape open at the rear which is adapted to be fixed to an upright surface with its longer dimension horizontal, top and bottom walls of the back which are shaped to define a plurality of longitudinally spaced, rearwardly open recesses, a plurality of tie holders each having a pivot portion incorporating a pair of spaced journals which are located in a pair of recesses, one in the top wall and the other in the bottom wall of the back, a formation on the mouth of each of the recesses along at least one of said walls and a complementary formation on its associated journal which will allow the journal to pass through the mouth of the recess in only one position of the tie holder relative to the back, said complementary formations on adjacent recesses and journals being aligned for different angular positions of the tie holders relative to the back, and a link pivoted to each of the tie holders for moving all the tie holders between projecting and folded positions relative to the back.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
