Specification of Letters latent.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH KUGEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Towel- Wringers, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to produce a simple, cheap, unique and highly eflicient .device for wringing towels, napkins, cleaning rags and the like. It is especially adapt ed for use at cafs, soda fountains, restau rants and the like, and its various features and advantages will readily become apparent from the following specification.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, Figure (1) is an isometric view of my invention, the rollers being open ready to receive the towel, and Fig. (2) is a similar view, the rollers being, however, closed with a towel between them.
I provide a frame or bracket (1) which may be screwed to any fixture or to the counter. At the top this bracket has an outwardly extending arm (2) provided with a downwardly extending journal bearing (3), a roller (5) being mounted on a short shaft (4:) which is journaled in the bearing (3) at one end and at its opposite end journaled in the bracket (1) in any ordinary way. The lower roller (6) is journaled on a shaft (7) in the arms (8), (8), of a bearing frame (9) which at its rear is made integral with the lug (10) and handle (12), a pin or screw (13) passing through the lug (10) and into the bracket (1) at its lower extremity to form the pivotal bearing on which the roller (6) and handle (12) are capable of being moved up and down as desired by the operator. On the pin (13), between the inner end of head (10) and the bracket side, I place a coiled spring (14), one end of the spring abutting against a lug (15) on the bracket and the opposite end against lug (16) on head (10.). This spring always keeps the rollers open and apart, or in a normal position ready for use.
When it is desired to dry or wring out a.
towel or the like, the operator pulls down thehandle (12) and this elevates the lower roller (6), in the mean time he places the towel '(20) in between the roller with his other hand and then keeps elevating the lower roller until the towel (20) is tightly impinged against by both rollers (5) and (6); then he pulls the towel out from between them and the water, dampness and the like is removed from the towel and it is ready for use again. When he pulls down the handle (12) a tension is placed on the spring (1 1) and when the hold on the handle is released, this tension of the spring opens the rollers, that is, it forces the lower roller (6) down and away from the upper roller (5), into normal position.
It will be observed that the upper roller (5) is stationary and the lower roller (6) is movable up and down although they both revolve freely.
It may be made of any material and the rollers may be supported in any other desired manner.
While I have shown and described one specific form of construction of my new invention, I may vary the same, as it is ob-- vious that the same is capable of considerable modification, and such modifications, I wish to be understood, will still fall within the scope of my invention.
\Vhat I claim as new and my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In a towel wringer of the class described, a bracket, capable of attachment to a support, an arm extending from said bracket, an upper roller mounted in aid arm, a forked handle, alower roller pivoted in said forked handle, the handle pivoted to the lower part of said bracket so that the lower roller can be brought up to and away from the upper roller.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH KUGEL.
