L. B. WATERMAN, or CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Letters Patent No. 80,316, dated-July 28, 1868.
IMPROVED CLOTHES-DRIRE.
@te .Stimuli refemh tu inflitte Enters ntent mit making part nf the sans.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCRN:
Be it known that I, L. B, WATERMAN, of Chicago, in the county oi' Cook, and State of Illinois, hav'e invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Driers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a i'ull7 clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part 4of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like parts wherever they occur.
To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
My invention consists in a novel construction of a clothes-drying frame, whereby the frame maybe attached to or detached from the pipe of a stove, as hereinafter more fully explained'.
Figure l-is a topplan view, and
Figure 2 is a side elevation, representing the frame detached and folded up to be set away.
In the preparation of clothing it is desirable to have a frame convenient for hanging the-u1 on while drying, i
and which shall occupy as little space as possible in the room, and that can be readily hung up or packed away: when not in use. These objects I accomplish by so constructing the frame that it can be readily attachedcto and supported by the pipe of an ordinary stove, and which can be readily detached, compactlyfolded, and hung np when not desired for use.
To make my improved device, I construct a light iron frame or collar, consisting of two semicircular pieces, A, and hinge them together at one end, as represented in fig. k1, the hinge-joint being shown at e. Those pieces A have a series of lugs or ears, ncast on their exterior face, these ears being arranged in pairs, at a proper distance apart to permit a bar, B, to be pivoted between-each-pair, by means of a pin, d, which passes through both ears and the end of the bar.
The bars B have their ends f ormcd as represented in fig. 2, so that when spread out as shown in fig. 1; the point I, which forms theirlower shoulder, will strike or bear against the lower portion' of the pieces A, and thus hold them rigidly in position, their upper shoulders being rounded o', to permit the bars to be folded upward and inward, as shown in g. 2, it being there represented upside down, or in the reverse position from what it Aoccupies when attached to the pipe.
To thebar B is pivoted a brace, 6, of proper length, to bear against the bar B", on the opposite side of the joint e,`the end ofthe brace resting against a metal piece, c, secured to the side ofthe bar B, this piece c being provided with notches forholding the brace firmly in position, and preventing it from slipping or becoming accidentally displaced.
Instead of thc notched piece c, a .strip of rubber may be secured to theside of the bar B, and the end of the brace b be allowed to rest against it, the friction and yielding surface of the rubber being Asuiiicient to hold the brace securely in place; or, if preferred, a piece of rubber may be secured in any suitable manner to the end of the brace itself, in such a position thutit will bear against the bar B when the brace is placed in` position. 4
The semicircular bars 'or pieces A are made of such a-size, that when arranged in position they will form something less than an entire circle, so that they may besecured to pipes of various sizes, the'hinge e being so constructed as to permit the pieces A to be pressed together, so as to clasp the pipe, and beheld against it' by the brace b, suiciently tightvto hold the frame securely, in place.
In constructing the pieces A, Isometimcs form them with a small Astrip, connecting each pair of earsV n, this strip being formed on the top of the ears, 'and extending across from one to the other ofthe pair, thus forming a iiange or shoulder at the point where the ears join the bands A, against whichthe upper side of the bars B may. rest, and thusv assist to brace them more firmly in place when spread out. l
To apply it, it is only necessary to open the bands and clasp them around the pipe, and then secure it firmly Vthere by the brace b. Being directly above the stove, the ascending currents 'of hot air will dry the clothes rapidly, and in much less time than can be done with the ordinary elothes-frames which stand about the room. At the sametime they are more out ot the way, and thus utilize a space otherwise of little or no avail.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, is-
A detachable clothes-drier, consisting ofthev hinged arranged to be secured to a stove-pipe by means ofthe brace or pawl b, and the ratchet; or its equivalent of rubber,as herein described.
