An adjustable clothes rack for a vehicle including a length-adjustable support rod having a first sleeve and a second sleeve telescopically received in the first sleeve and movable along the rod axis for adjusting the length of the rod. A pair of leg assemblies are coupled to opposed ends of the support rod. The leg assemblies include length-adjustable legs for supporting the rod a selected distance above a support surface. The legs of each leg assembly can be individually rotated about the rod axis so that the legs define a selected angle with respect to each other for providing an adjustable width dimension for the rack. Each leg assembly can also be rotated about an axis normal to the rod axis for selective movement of a leg assembly between a functional configuration and storage configuration.

[ having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by letters patent is as follows:] [1.] A clothes rack for a vehicle, comprising:a length-adjustable support rod defining a longitudinal rod axis and defining opposed first and second ends, the rod including a first rod element having a plurality of apertures therealong and a second rod element telescopically received in the first rod element and movable along the rod axis for adjusting the length of the rod, the second rod element having a flange for selectably engaging one of the apertures;a first leg assembly for supporting the first end of the rod above a support surface, the first leg assembly including a pair of length-adjustable legs, each leg having a free end for contacting the support surface;first coupling means for coupling the legs to the rod adjacent to the first end of the rod for individual rotation about the rod axis so that the legs of the first leg assembly define a selectable angle with respect to each other and define an adjustable rack width dimension;a second leg assembly for supporting the second end of the rod above a support surface, the second leg assembly including a pair of length-adjustable legs, each leg having a free end for contacting the support surface;second coupling means for coupling the legs to the rod adjacent to the second end of the rod for individual rotation about the rod axis so that the legs of the second leg assembly define a selectable angle with respect to each other and define an adjustable rack width dimension; a leg assembly shaft coupled to the first end of the support rod and defining a longitudinal shaft axis, the shaft presenting a periphery which defines a plurality of spaced apart apertures; a pair of couplings pivotally attached to the shaft and attached to respective legs of the first leg assembly; a pin extending through each coupling and selectably engageable with one of the shaft apertures for maintaining the selected angle with respect to the legs, andwherein the legs of the first leg assembly and the legs of the second leg assembly are adjustable such that the rod is supported parallel to the support surface.
