Cantilevered towel rack

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a Cantilevered Towel Rack to hang over the ladder of a recreational vehicle to dry towels and articles of clothing. It is self-supporting and not permanently attached whereby it can be easily removed and stored in an confined area. Cushioned hanger members will hang over the steps of the ladder at the rear of the vehicles. A cushioned forward section attached to the hanger members at a prescribed angle will extent outwardly from the ladder with a mating rear section telescoping within, to be locked in place by the means of compression couplings.

1 . A cantilevered towel rack comprising:
 (a) a forward section yoke having a forward section cross brace and two or more forward section extension members, each of said forward section extension members incorporating a compression coupling;   (b) a pair of hanger members attached to said forward section cross;   (c) a rear section having a rear section cross brace and two or more rear section extension members attached to said rear section cross brace;   whereby each of said rear section extension members capable of telescoping within said forward section extension members to secure mating between said rear section extension members and forward section extension members using said incorporated compression couplings.   
   
   
       2 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein said pair of hanger members includes hanger members having a non-slip covering. 
   
   
       3 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 2 , wherein said non-slip covering includes rubber tubing. 
   
   
       4 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 2 , wherein said non-slip covering includes polymer tubing. 
   
   
       5 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein said pair of hanger members are attached to said forward section cross brace by welding. 
   
   
       6 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein said pair of hanger members are attached to said forward section cross brace by conventional threaded attachment for easy removal during shipping. 
   
   
       7 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein the angle between said pair of hanger members and said forward section cross brace is between about ninety degrees to about seventy degrees 
   
   
       8 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein the angle between said pair of hanger members and said forward section cross brace is seventy-five degrees. 
   
   
       9 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein said two or more forward section extension members are threaded at the distal end to incorporate a compression coupling to secure mating to said rear section extension members. 
   
   
       10 . The cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 1 , wherein said forward section cross brace includes a forward section cross brace having a non-slip covering. 
   
   
       11 . A method for making a cantilevered towel rack comprising:
 (a) providing a forward section yoke having a forward section cross brace and two or more forward section extension members, each of said forward section extension members incorporating a compression coupling;   (b) providing a pair of hanger members attached to said forward section cross;   (c) providing a rear section having a rear section cross brace and two or more rear section extension members attached to said rear section cross brace;   whereby each of said rear section extension members capable of telescoping within said forward section extension members to secure mating between said rear section extension members and forward section extension members using said incorporated compression couplings.   
   
   
       12 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a pair of hanger members includes the step of providing hanger members having a non-slip covering. 
   
   
       13 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 12 , wherein said non-slip covering includes rubber tubing. 
   
   
       14 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 12 , wherein said non-slip covering includes polymer tubing. 
   
   
       15 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a pair of hanger members includes the step of providing a pair of hanger members that are attached to said forward section cross brace by welding. 
   
   
       16 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a pair of hanger members includes the step of providing a pair of hanger members that are attached to said forward section cross brace by conventional threaded attachment for easy removal during shipping. 
   
   
       17 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein the angle between said pair of hanger members and said forward section cross brace is between about ninety degrees to about seventy degrees 
   
   
       18 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein the angle between said pair of hanger members and said forward section cross brace is seventy-five degrees. 
   
   
       19 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein said two or more forward section extension members are threaded at the distal end to incorporate a compression coupling to secure mating to said rear section extension members. 
   
   
       20 . The method for making a cantilevered towel rack according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a forward section cross brace includes the step of providing a forward section cross brace having a non-slip covering.
