  • Patent number: 4863043
    Abstract: Support in a closet including a rack and a multiplicity of arms on each side of the rack for storage of neckties and belts. The rack and arms are disposed in an oblique plane preferably disposed about 30.degree. to the vertical and slanting downwardly as it extends outwardly relative to the closet backwall to facilitate viewing of the articles, which hang from the arms in vertical planes spaced from one another. The rack is preferably supported by hanging from a clothes support rod which extends from end to end of the closet. Instead, the rack can be supported from a vertical wall or from the underside of a shelf in the closet. The support can be formed from wood, metal, plastics and/or wire. The arms are cantilevered from the rack and have abutments at their ends to prevent articles from becoming dislodged from the arms.

  • Patent number: 3975780
    Abstract: The sapce over a shower or tub enclosure, of the type made in one piece of fiber-reinforced plastic, is closed with a dome and a vertical wall extending from the rail, supporting sliding doors, to the ceiling. No finish is required in the end of the bathroom in which the bathing facility is installed and warm and moisture laden air is generally confined to the bathing facility. A bathroom exhaust air housing, connected to a fan and to a conduit to the outside of the building, is installed in the bathing facility above the rail and has grilles in said vertical wall and in the adjacent dome wall. Controls in the housing selectively exhaust air through the grilles directly from the bathroom or from the bathing facility.
