Abstract

Implementations of an accessories rack are provided. In some implementations, the accessories rack may comprise a first stem connecting a first support base and a second support base, a hook connected to the top of the first support base, and a second stem connected to the bottom of the second support base. The accessories rack further may comprise a first pair of divergent set of steps wherein each set of steps of the first pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support base and extend away from a portion of the first stem. The accessories rack further may comprise a second pair of divergent set of steps wherein each set of steps of the second pair are rotatably connected to the second support base and extend away from a portion of the second stem.

Claims (15)

1. A rack comprising:

a first stem extending in a vertical direction connecting a first support base and a second support base wherein the first stem, the first support base and the second support base are vertically aligned along a common axis;

a hook connected to a portion of the first support base;

a second stem extending in a vertical direction connected to the bottom and center of the second support base;

the first stem and the second stem each have a horizontal width less than a horizontal width of each of the first support base and the second support base;

a first pair of divergent set of steps wherein each set of steps of the first pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support base and extend away from a portion of the first stem; and

a second pair of divergent set of steps wherein each set of steps of the second pair are rotatably connected to the second support base and extend away from a portion of the second stem, wherein each set of steps of the first pair and second pair of divergent set of steps are configured to rotate around a vertical axis such that the height of the set of steps with respect to the rack does not change as the set of step is rotated.

2. The rack of claim 1 wherein the first pair of divergent set of steps is downwardly divergent such that each set of steps of the first pair extend downwardly and away from a portion of the first stem and wherein the second pair of divergent set of steps is downwardly divergent such that each set of steps of the second pair extend downwardly and away from a portion of the second stem.

3. The rack of claim 1 wherein the hook is configured to be detachable from the first support base.

4. The rack of claim 1 wherein each step of the set of steps include a horizontal portion extending away from the first or second stem and a vertical portion extending upward from the end of the horizontal portion.

5. The rack of claim 1 wherein the set of steps of the first pair are separate parts connected to the first support base.

6. The rack of claim 5 wherein the set of steps of the second pair are separate parts connected to the second support base.

7. The rack of claim 1 wherein each set of steps of the first pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support base with a dowel extending through at least a portion of the first support base and at least a portion of the steps.

8. The rack of claim 7 wherein each set of steps of the second pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second support base with a dowel extending through at least a portion of the second support base and at least a portion of the steps.

9. The rack of claim 8 further comprising a first platform extending from the first support stem upon which a portion of the steps of the first pair rest and a second platform extending from the second support stem upon which a portion of the steps of the second pair rest wherein each set of steps of the first pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support base with a dowel extending from the first support base and through the steps to the first platform and wherein each set of steps of the second pair is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second support base with a dowel extending from the second support base and through the steps to the second platform.
