CLOTHES-DRIER.
Specification of Lettersiatent.
Patented Apr. 6,1915.
Application filed June 29, 1914. Serial No. 848,087.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOSEPH HnBERT and Josnrri SAMUEL HENRI GAGNON, both subjects of the King of Great Britain, and both residents of Viauville, in the city of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Briers; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
The invention relates to improvements in clothes driers and has particular reference to that class of drier embodying a flexible clothes line.
The object of the invention is to devise a cheap, eflicient and handy clothes drier with a plurality of flexible lines arranged in such a manner as to be readily accessible and adj ustable for hanging clothes thereon.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the drier according to the invention sus pended between a window sill and a post while Fig. 2 is a side view of a spreading member forming a useful adjunct to the invention.
Referring to the drawings 1 indicates a supporting bar to which a plurality of pulleys 2 are connected, over each of which a clothes line 3 passes. A distancing bar 4 couples one end of each of the lines 8, said bar being of any suitable stifi' material, such as metal or wood and, being placed transversely of the lines, the said lines run simultaneously over their pulleys when the distancing member is moved in a direction longitudinal of the lines. A second distancing member 5 couples the other ends of the lines 3 at a distance apart in a similar manner to the distancing member 4. 6 is a pulley secured to any suitable or handy support at a distance away from the support 1, such for instance as a post 7. A single rope 8 (or similar flexible line) is connected at one end to the distancing member 4 at its approximate middle and, passing over the pulley 6 is connected at its other end to the distancing member 5 at its approximate middle. It will thus be seen that when any one of the lines 3 or the flexible line 8 is moved in a longitudinal direction all the lines 3 will move' longitudinally and simultaneously.
Vi e are aware that a clothes line is at pres ent in use inwhich the endless rope runs over distanced supporting pulleys, by which the clothes can be hung on the line by a person standing at one point, that is to say, by pulling the rope longitudinally to bring a different part of its length within reach of the person, and it is the purpose of the present clothes drier is of particular advantage where there is only a small amount of available space for suspending a line, it giving the same clothes line capacity as a very long single line. Thus for drying clothes within a house, the invention will be found of great advantage.
9 indicates a weight rigidly suspended by suitable means such as the arms 10 beneath the distancing member 5, this in order that the said member will not tip to one side when clothes are hung on the lines toward one of its ends.
11 is a spreader to keep the lines distanced at an intermediate point, the said spreader comprising a stiff bar having means such as the snap hooks 12 for engaging each of the lines 3.
It is obvious that the minor details of the invention may be changed somewhat, if found desirable, without departing from the invention, for instance, instead of the pulleys mentioned, other suitable runners may be employed, such as simple eyes or arcshaped guide members.
What we claim is 1. In a clothes drier, a plurality of parallel flexible clothes lines, a runner over which each of said clothes lines runs at one end, said runners being suitably supported side by side, a distancing member collectively connecting one end of saidclothes lines at a distance apart, a distancing member collectively connecting the other end of said clothes lines at a distance apart, a flexible line connecting said distancing members and a single runner suitably supported over which said flexible line runs.
2. In a clothes drier, a supporting plate, a plurality of pulleys supported at distances apart on said plate, a plurality of clothes lines running one over each of said pulleys, a distancing member collectively connecting the inner ends of said clothes lines at distances apart, a distancing member collectively connecting the outer ends of said clothes lines at distances apart, a flexible line connecting said distancing members, a suitably supported pulley over Which said flexible line runs, and a steadying Weight rigidly suspended beneath said outer end distancing bar.
3. In a clothes drier, a supporting plate, a plurality of pulleys supported at distances apart on said plate, a plurality of clothes lines running one over each of said pulleys,
a distancing member collectively connecting the inner ends of said clothes lines at disl Signed at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this 3rd day of April, 1914:.
