ABSTRACT:
A hideaway tie rack is disclosed for a sliding door closet. The tie rack includes an elongated, cylindrical, hollow housing having an inner diameter of a first dimension, having a first open end and a second opposed end. The housing has an elongated, longitudinal slot extending axially along its surface, which has a circumferential width and which opens onto the first end of the housing. The housing is mounted on the back of the sliding door in a substantially horizontal orientation. The tie rack further includes an elongated cylindrical tube having an outer diameter of a second dimension which is less than the inner diameter of the housing. The tube has a first end and an opposed second end which slideably enters the first end of the housing. This enables the tube to be mounted within the hollow interior of the housing in axial sliding engagement with the housing. The tie rack still further includes a bar having a cross sectional dimension less than the circumferential width of the slot in the housing. The bar has a first end mounted to the first end of the tube, a second end mounted to the second end of the tube, and an intermediate, horizontal rack portion between the first and second ends of the bar which is suspended in spaced, parallel relationship with the tube. The rack portion projects through the slot in the housing and is in axial sliding engagement with it. In this manner, neckties may be hung from the horizontal rack portion of the bar when the tube extends out from the first end of the housing in a deployed position. Then the tube can be substantially completely inserted into the housing to form a more compact tie rack which can be concealed behind the sliding door to enable the door to be closed.
