Abstract A cabinet for neckwear comprising telescoping bars carried by built-in guideways, tie support elements particularly adapted for the type of neckwear to be stored and displayed, and universal mounting means for the cabinet is disclosed. The support elements on the telescoping bars particularly advantageously provide storage for the conventional hanging type neckwear, such as neckties, scarves, etc., formed neckwear, such as ties and preformed bow ties so that all may be brought into clear view without interference and any one may be readily removed for wearing. The telescoping bars are each provided with a finger loop at one end whereby the bars may be easily extended after opening the cabinet. Hanging type neckwear is supported on horizontal rods forming hangers mounted on one of the telescoping bars. Pre-formed ties are supported on swinging chip-like plates mounted on another of the telescoping bars and the clip-on bow ties are supported on flanges mounted on a third telescoping bar. The bars are carried on double shouldered tracks on the inner walls of the cabinet. The cabinet is universally mounted in a closet such as a clothes closet by means of a wall plate and clothes rod receiving adjustable brackets.
A neckwear support and display cabinet comprising a plurality of guideways mounted in said cabinet, a plurality of telescoping bars slidably mounted in said guideways, each of said bars including at least two interfitting sections, means for supporting neckwear connected to said bars, said supporting means comprising at least a first set of hangers connected to one bar for hanging a first type of neckwear and a second set of different hangers connected to another bar for a second different type of neckwear, and mounting means for said cabinet, the neckwear supporting sections of said telescoping bars being individually extendable outside said cabinet whereby a relatively large volume of diverse neckwear may be stored and neckwear types individually displayed for selection, wherein said mounting means includes at least one mounting bracket for engaging a clothes rod in a closet, said mounting bracket being elongated and including a transverse cutout to receive said clothes rod, said bracket containing a longitudinal slot, and fastening means extending through said slot for adjustably attaching said cabinet to said brackets.
