Claims

1. A hanging rack assembly, comprising:

a hanging strap, said hanging strap having a plurality of transverse pin holes arranged at different elevations;

a hanging hook adapted to hook said hanging strap on a support, said hanging hook having an angled hook portion located on one end thereof, an arched hook portion located on an opposite end thereof, and a transverse slot located on a middle part thereof for the passing of said hanging strap;

a plurality of hanging racks fastened to said hanging straps at different elevations for hanging things, each said hanging rack comprising two vertical flat bars arranged in parallel, two transverse bars respectively fastened to front and back sides of said vertical bars and kept in flush with the topmost edges of said vertical bars and defining with said vertical bars a vertically extending passage, and a plurality of hanger bars respectively obliquely fastened to said vertical bars for hanging things; and

a plurality of positioning pins that are respectively fitted into said transverse pin holes of said hanging strap to secure said hanging hook and said hanging rack to said hanging strap after insertion of said hanging strap through the transverse slot of said hanging hook and the passage of each said hanging rack, said positioning pins having a diameter greater than the width of said transverse slot and the width of the passage of each said hanging rack between the two transverse bars of the respective hanging rack.

2. The hanging rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hanger bars are respectively obliquely fastened to front and back sides of said vertical bars for hanging things.

3. The hanging rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hanger bars are respectively obliquely fastened to one side of each of said vertical bars for hanging things.
