CLOTHES STICK.
APPLICATION FILED APR. 17, 1914 1, 1 28,245., Patented Feb. 9, 1915.
ARVID E. HAMRIN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
CLOTHES-STICK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 9, 1915.
Application filed April 17, 1914. Serial No. 832,555.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARvn) E. HAMRIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Sticks, of which the following is a specification, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.
The invention relates to laundry appliances, and more particularly to devices used for agitating clothes in a boiler or tub and for lifting the same.
The invention accordingly contemplates an improved form of clothes stick or dolly, and has for its object to provide a device of such construction as' to effectually engage the clothes when they are to be lifted, as for agitating them in a single laundry receptacle or for transferring them from one receptacle to another.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the improved clothes stick or dolly in side elevation, an intermediate part of the handle being broken away; Fig. 2 is an end view of the same drawn to a larger scale; and Fig. 3 is a detail side elevation, drawn to the same scale as Fig. 2.
In carrying out the invention, a handle 10 of suitable length is provided, and a head 11 is applied to one end of the same. Preferably the connection of the head with the handle takes a form which will efiectively serve to hold the head against rotation on the handle. As shown, the head 11 is made from cast metal, and is provided with a socket 12 of angular cross section, the end of the handle being reduced to provide a tenon 13 of similar cross-section for entering the said socket. If desired, a pin 14: may set through the walls of the socket 12 and tenon 13 to prevent separation of the head and handle.
To facilitate the engagement of the device with the clothes for lifting the same, the head 11 is provided with a plurality of prongs or tines, as 15, 16. In the form of construction illustrated two such prongs are provided, and when the head 11 is made from cast metal, as shown, they are conveniently formed integral with the head. These prongs extend laterally outward from the head 11 upon opposite sides of the same, and each is turned abruptly intermediate its ends, as at 17 (Fig. 2), the outer end portion of each prong being extended obliquely forward with reference to the axis ofthe device in the direction in which the handle 10 would commonly be rotated for twisting the clothes thereon in lifting them out of a laundry receptacle. This form of the prongs or tines insures that they will become firmly engaged with the clothes to permit the same to be lifted either for the purpose of agitating them in a given receptacle, as a wash boiler, or for transferring them from one laundry receptacle to another. The end of the head 11 between the prongs 15, 16, is desirably rounded, as at 18 (Fig. 3) to present a smooth surface to the clothes. It will be observed that this rounded end of the head turns in the clothes as a pivot when the device is rotated for engaging the prongs 15, 16, with the clothes.
I claim as my invention In a clothes stick, in combination, a staff having a hemispherical head, and prongs projecting laterally outward from opposite sides of the staff adjacent the base of the the staff.
