WARDROBE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 847,687, dated August 17, 1886.

Application filed November 6, 1885. Serial No. 182,029. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARION H. OAZIER, of Bnrlingamc, in the county of Osage and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vardrobe Attachment-s, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improved construction of the ordinary form of wardrobe, the objects ofthe invention being to provide an arrangement whereby the available storage capacity of a wardrobe may beincreased, and

. to so construct the wardrobe proper thatany garment hung therein may be readily reached Without removing any other garment hung within the wardrobe.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the wardrobe. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view of the suspending yoke.

In the figures, A represents the wardrobe proper, and B the front door ofthe same. This wardrobe is provided,as usual,with a shelf, 0, which reaches from sideto side across the upper part of the case. A metallic rod, a, is secured to the rear of the shelf, and extends forward beneath it in a line substantially parallel with it. The forward end of the rod a is bent upward and outward and then backward and inward, to be secured to the shelf at 0, thereby forming a noserlike projection, d.

The garments to be suspended within the wardrobe are'hung upon ayoke, 6, formed with a hook, z, and these hooks are caught upon the rod a and shoved back as the garments which are carried by their yokes are placed within the case. In the end panel of the case there is a door, D, so that after the garments have been placed in the position described any one of them may be removed without disturbing the others by simply opening the door D and removing the garment through the opening so formed in the end of the case.

By the formation of the nose (I the yokes are easily caught upon the rods a, and although I prefer this construction I do not limit my self to it.

WVhen a large'sized wardrobe is used, there may be two of the rods a-one placed near either endandin this case the doorsD would be duplicated, so that garments could be re moved from either end of the wardrobe.

Such an arrangement as I have described enables me to store more than twice as many garments in the same space, and I am also able to reach any desired article without overhauling the contents of the wardrobe.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as n'ew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A wardrobe having a front and a side door communicating with the same interior compartment and a series of removable suspending devices within the wardrobe in alignment with one door-opening and transverse to the other opening, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a wardrobe having the upper shelf, 0, of the rod at, extending from front to rear of the wardrobe, having its outer end bent over, as at d, and secured at c to the shelf, and its rear end bent up to form an angle, the end of which is secured to the rear edge of the shelf, substantially as set forth.
