Removable, ceiling-based drying apparatus

Abstract

An indoor, removable ceiling-based air-drying apparatus includes two opposing right angled brackets. Each bracket has two (2) slotted keyholes in the upper horizontal leg. Wood screws are partially screwed into the ceiling leaving a gap of ⅛″ from the ceiling to the screw head, for sliding and locking into the brackets' slotted keyholes for fastening it on the ceiling. The vertical leg has a lower horizontal tab with keyhole. The hypotenuse leg connects the upper horizontal leg with the vertical leg for strength when using the apparatus. A vinyl-coated line, including a turnbuckle, is connected to and spanned between the horizontal tabs of the vertical legs. The turnbuckle is turned by the user, to either increase the tension of the cable for ready use, or lessen the tension to allow the cable to be removed, thus freeing both brackets to be easily removed by sliding them off the screws.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A removable, ceiling-mounted, laundry air-drying apparatus comprising:
 a. two identical right-angled opposing brackets, each with an upper horizontal leg, a vertical leg with a lower horizontal tab, and a hypotenuse leg that connects the horizontal leg with the vertical leg for strength when in use;
 i. each upper horizontal leg of the bracket has two (2) keyhole slot cutouts; 
 ii. each lower horizontal tab of the bracket has a single keyhole slot cutout 
   b. two (2) screws per bracket, which are partially screwed into a ceiling leaving a gap of ⅛″ between the ceiling and the screw head, for sliding and locking the bracket flush under the ceiling, through its upper horizontal leg keyhole cutouts;   c. one (1) vinyl-coated, 304 stainless steel line terminated with a turnbuckle on one end, and a looped line on the other, for connecting to, and spanning between the horizontal tab of each of the vertical legs.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus can be placed flush under the ceiling by sliding the upper horizontal leg of the bracket through its keyhole cutouts into the ⅛″ gap between the ceiling and the pre-installed screw heads, and can be removed from the ceiling by sliding each bracket out of the ⅛″ gap between the ceiling and screw head, unlimited time, on an as needed basis. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each bracket has a 1.5″ horizontal tab with 45-degree keyhole-type cutout for inserting the hook end of the turnbuckle into the tab's keyhole of one bracket, and slipping the looped line into the tab's keyhole of the other bracket. 
     
     
         4 . An apparatus of  claim 1 , involves connection/placement of the line between two brackets with the use of horizontal tab and increasing its tension by turning the turnbuckle to firmly stabilize the apparatus for use, and releasing the tension by turning the turnbuckle the opposite way to allow the removal of the line and the brackets. 
     
     
         5 . An apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein one-time screwed-in four (4) wood screws (two (2) per bracket) remain in the ceiling for unlimited placements and removals of the apparatus/brackets. 
     
     
         6 . An apparatus of  claim 1 , line designed to be used for appropriate placement (distancing) of each of four (4) screws to accommodate a fixed placement of each bracket and their separation.
