Abstract
Abstract A tool hanger rack structure having two pairs of relatively vertical arms spaced from one another with the arms of each pair pivotally separated by a spacer for scissoring action. The top ends of all the arms are attachable to supporting structure. The bottom ends of like arms of each pair are adjustably connected to relatively horizontal tool hanger poles. The lengthwise extension of the poles between and beyond the arms is adjustable to suit the spacing of support members, to vary the lengthwise spacing between the pairs of arms, and to adjust the lengthwise projection of the poles between and beyond the paired arms. The lateral space between the hanger poles is adjustable by scissoring the paired arms against their respective spacers singly or in combination and in like or opposite directions to move the poles laterally closer together and/or farther apart to accommodate tools of various sizes.

A rack for hanging tools which is conducive to compact unassembled packaging for manufacture, storage and shipping, easily assembled on location, easily adjustable to the spacing of support members, easily adjustable to the area in which mounted, and easily adjustable as to tool receiving opening and tool support spacing comprising: a first pair of relatively vertical spaced arms having top ends for attachment to support members and depending bottom ends; a first spacer lying between said first pair of arms intermediate said bottom and top ends; said first spacer and said first pair of arms being pivotally interconnected relative to one another; a second pair of relatively vertical spaced arms having top ends for attachment to support members and depending bottom ends; a second spacer lying between said second pair of arms intermediate said bottom and top ends; said second spacer and said second pair of arms being pivotally interconnected relative to one another; said first and second pairs of arms lying spaced from one another; connecting means on said bottom ends of all said arms; a first relatively horizontal tool hanger pole extending between and beyond said first pair of arms and said second pair of arms and lying adjacent to like arms of said pairs and connected to their said bottom ends by said connecting means, and a second relatively horizontal tool hanger pole extending between and beyond said first pair of arms and said second pair of arms and lying adjacent to the other like arms of said pairs and connected to their said bottom ends by said connecting means; said poles and said connecting means being interconnectable at various points lengthwise of said poles as desired to position said pairs of arms in alignment with support members, to adjust the spacing between said pairs of arms, and to adjust the extension of said poles lengthwise beyond said pairs of arms; said spacers and said pairs of arms being pivotally interconnected to facilitate varying the spacing between said poles to accommodate tools of different size by scissoring said arms at their top ends toward and away from each other to move said poles farther apart and Closer together, singly and in like and opposite direction combination to locate said poles spaced relative to one another as desired.
