connected by cross-pieces C 0, located suit able distances apart. D D are bails the legs of which are pivoted to the outer sides of the frame-pieces B B short distances belowthe cross-pieces 0. Any desired number of these bails may be used. In the drawings I have shown three, which are pivoted under the three upper cross-pieces, O. The outer or front ends of the said bails are made somewhat bulging, so as. to project beyond the side pieces, B, of the frame, and the latterare provided with notches E in their to sustain the said bails in a raised position.

. O O are braces pivoted to the rear sides of the frame-pieces B a short distance above the base L, and connected with the legs Nby pivoted rods or links P. It will be seen from this construction that the legs and braces may be folded up compactly against the side pieces" of the frame; or, when desired, they may readily be unfolded to the position shown in Fig. I for the purpose of supporting the frame in an upright position. rack may be placed for operation anywhere desired in a room; but it may also be provided with means for suspending it upon the wall of a room, if this shall be preferred.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- As an improvement in clothes-bars, the combination of a frame, A, having cross-pieces 0, provided with perforations G, the bulging bails D, pivoted to the sides of frame A, and having pivoted props or supports F, provided with shoulders H, the bars K, Strung upon wires I, above the bails D, and folding legs or supports for the frame A, all arranged and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
