Abstract

An adjustable pole type support device structured of three to four tubular sections containing a tension spring ceiling support and a floor base support, the tubular sections being separate pieces or internally connect by hinged retainer cord. The outer surface of the support device has a multiple of hooks designed as an animal tree to support children'"'"'s stuffed toy animals and dolls. The pole structure is available in a variety of colors. This invention can esily be disassembled into small sections for storage and shipping.

Claims

1. A vertical pole hanger for children'"'"'s stuffed animals and dolls comprising;

a hollow tubular pole assemblage configured of measured sections selectable to produce said assemblage vertically aligned with a first terminal end adjacent a dwelling ceiling and a second terminal end adjacent said dwelling floor, there being extended compressible means at said first terminal end and extendable adjustment means at said second terminal end to cooperatively secure said pole assemblage temporarily affixed between said ceiling and said floor of said dwelling;

means for removably attaching said measured sections to each other in continuous alignment;

means for hanging said stuffed animals and dolls to said assemblage vertically aligned.

2. The vertical pole hanger of claim 1 wherein said means for removably attaching said measured sections to each other includes short tubular couplers fitted externally to bridge the joining ends of said measured sections.

3. The vertical pole hanger of claim 1 wherein said means for removably attaching said measured sections to each other includes hollow internal couplers sized for and protruding sufficiently from one end of each said measured sections to fit supportively into the end of an adjoining said measured section releasably retained by resilience in elastic cordage aligned centrally through said hollow internal couplers and said measured sections with said elastic cordage affixed only towards said terminal ends of said hollow tubular pole assemblage.

4. The vertical pole hanger of claim 1 wherein said means for hanging said stuffed animals and dolls to said assemblage vertically aligned includes intermittently spaced apertures aligned longitudinally in said assemblage with said apertures fitted with removable hooks.

5. The vertical pole hanger of claim 1 wherein said extended compressible means at said first terminal end of said tubular pole assemblage is a cylindrical plug affixed at an upwardly terminal end with a rounded protective pad and downwardly attached slidably to a compression spring chambered in said first terminal end of said pole assemblage.

6. The vertical pole hanger of claim 1 wherein said extendable adjustment means at said second terminal end of said tubular pole assemblage is a cylindrical plug affixed at a downwardly terminal end with a rounded protective pad and upwardly inserted slidably into said second terminal end of said hollow tubular pole retained there adjustably by a set screw.
