ABSTRACT:
A collapsible clothes drying rack that operates on the "lazy tong" principle has four extended upper amrs supporting two opposed, parallel rods that are spaced apart approximately twice as far as the two upper, outside rods are spaced in a conventional collapsible clothes dryer. A mesh support member is provided with means at opposite ends thereof for attaching the mesh member to the parallel, spaced apart rods at the top of the four extended arms of the collapsible clothes drying rack, for use, among other things, in the drying of seaters. The collapsible rack includes a pair of foldable and extendable lazy tong linkages with a plurality of clothes supporting rods extending between and pivotally secured to the lazy tong linkages. Wooden clothes supporting rods sheathed in plastic are secured to the folding arms of the lazy tong linkages. In a preferred embodiment, a rigid ferrule is seated within a receiving hole in each lazy tong arm to form a tight fit with the rod, and a tapered threaded member is screwed into the end of the wooden rod that is seated in the rigid ferrule.
