Lamar Sexton never realized his simple idea could become a marketable invention. However, with the help of InventHelp, he is on his way to creating a profitable product to fill a variety of clothes hanging needs.
According to ForsythNews.com, his grandson called one day to tell him that his mother wanted to have a yard sale. Unfortunately, none of the clothes racks were any good. So, Lamar decided to see if there was something he could do about it.
It took Sexton about four years and numerous prototypes to come up with the final version of his invention, which uses telescoping sections to extend from 48 to 60 inches in height and 36, 48 or 60 inches in width.
It’s made of aluminum, weighing just 12 pounds.
The rack can be quickly set up and taken down. Sexton even created a special carrying bag for the device.
The local inventor said InventHelp worked with him to secure a patent for the product.
While it was created with yard sales in mind, Sexton said his creation is also perfect for anyone just needing extra closet space.
“It’d be great for small apartments or college dorms,†he said.
