ABSTRACT:
A valet rack assembly includes a three-piece fully extendable slide assembly having a base rail for installation on a closet sidewall in an operative position, an intermediate extension member slidably coupled to the base rail, an outer housing member slidably coupled to the intermediate member, and an apparel support member in the form of a tie clasp or belt post slidably coupled to the outer housing member. The intermediate extension member provides a first range of extension from a first position wherein the intermediate member is fully retracted and overlaps substantially all of the base rail, to a first stop position wherein the intermediate member only partially overlaps the base rail. The outer housing member provides a second range of extension from a second position wherein the outer member is fully retracted and overlaps substantially all of the intermediate extension member, to a second stop position wherein the outer member only partially overlaps the intermediate extension member.
