Abstract: A telescoping tie rack comprises at least one telescoping section slidingly interfitted to a stationary support section. The bodies of both the support and telescoping sections are formed of a lightweight metal, such as aluminum. Plastic runners are snap fitted to the telescoping sections to prevent binding and provide smooth and quiet telescoping action. Laterally extending hanger elements are carried by the innermost telescoping section and spaced longitudinally thereof. For easy assembly, these elements are snap fitted to the sections. In a first embodiment, the tie rack is mountable to a wall surface and horizontal clothes supporting rod by means of a hook plate secured to the wall and a drop in U-connector mountable to the rod. A pair of spaced apart standoff ribs formed on the support section abut the rod at two points spaced laterally outward from the central support rails that receive the U-connector thereby providing greater lateral stability.
