  • Patent number: 4209099
    Abstract: A kit for increasing the usable space of a closet by providing supports from which garments or comparable items are suspended. The kit comprises bars which may assume either horizontal or vertical positions in a closet, with each bar consisting of a pair of telescopic cylindrical tubes. Also included in the kit are a plurality of connectors, some of which are end connectors which connect one or both ends of a bar to spaced vertical wall or to opposed horizontal surfaces such as a floor, ceiling or shelf. These connectors maintain the tubes in assembled relation. Intersection connectors establish joints between intersecting bars. Each end connector includes at least one pair of concentric radially spaced nipples, each presenting an inner and an outer surface. The inner surface of the outer nipple snugly receives the outer surface of the outer tube and the inner surface of the inner tube is accurately fitted about the outer surface of the inner nipple.
