  • Patent number: 5127528
    Abstract: An improved extendible rotary shoe rack (10) for mounting between a lower surface (12) and an upper surface (14). The shoe rack includes a pedestal (16) adapted for placement against the lower surface and an upper mount (18) adapted for placement against the upper surface. A lower tube (20) is rotatably mounted to the pedestal and extends upwardly therefrom. An upper tube (22), having an open end (60) sized to receive a portion of the lower tube and to allow slidable movement therebetween, is rotatably mounted to the upper mount and extends downwardly therefrom. A helical compression spring (26) is disposed within the upper tube to secure the lower and upper tubes together so that they rotate in unison, and to provide a telescoping function by urging the upper mount against the upper surface over a range of upper surface-to-lower surface distances. A plurality of substantially equally spaced shoe support members (24), disposed in a plurality of circumferential rows (66), are attached to the lower tube.
