Wall "Flush Mount" quilt rack

Abstract

The Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack is utilized to hang and display quilts on flat wall surfaces. Designed and developed so the hanging quilt uses the wall surface to support and frame the displayed quilt thus producing a more pleasing and appealing display while protecting the quilt from drooping or sagging. While other quilt racks display quilts against the wall they rely on some sort of clipping, or pinching, device to hold the fabric thus causing droops, sages or distortion to the fabric material. The Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack requires a four (4) inch fabric pocket on the back of the quilt, and that, along with the rack, produces a uniform support over the entire length of the quilt eliminating wrinkles, droops, sags or uneven portions on the fabric surface.

1 ) The Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack is comprised of one flat elongated piece, having rounded edges and two mounting holes drilled into each rounded end. The Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack is then attached to any flat wall surface with two wall mounting pegs which are screwed and secured into the wall.  
   
   
       2 ) The Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack is inserted into a four (4) inch fabric pocket, sewn onto the back of the quilt, and the rack and quilt are then mounted onto the wall mounting pegs.  
   
   
       3 ) The low profile of the Wall “Flush Mount” Quilt Rack produces a projection of less than one inch (1″) from the wall surface.  
   
   
       4 ) By mounting the quilt close to the wall it is displayed much like a painting hung on the wall.
