Compact retractable towel bar
US-7316324-B1Abstract
An assemblage of mechanical components that provide support for hanging towels and for storing towels in a compact position for drying. The extension of the towel bar to an extended detented position provides sufficient clearance for hanging a towel. A modified keyhole type slot in the towel bar support has resident upper and lower notches. An integral square pivot pin located at the end of and at a right angle to the towel rod arm inserts into the modified keyhole. When the towel bar is lifted and pulled forward to the towel hanging mode, the square pivot pin is detented in the narrower portion of the modified keyhole thus creating a locked position. After towel hanging, the towel bar is lifted upwards and then pushed rearward. The square pivot pin then freely rotates in the larger portion of the keyhole. The towel bar is then rotated downward to a compact storage position for towel drying.
