CLOTHES REEL.
APPLICATION FILED MAY 6, 1915.

ATTORNEYS JOSEPH THOMAS HARBIN, or ST. JOHNS, onnoon.
CLOTHES-REEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 12, 1915.
Application filed May 6, 1915. Serial No. 26,338.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH THOMAS HAR- BIN. residing at St. Johns, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Clothes-Reel, of which the following is a specification.
M v invention has reference to that class of portable clothes reels in which the reel or clothes supporting means is mounted on a post and is adapted for being held up or down to bring the line connections in the desired position for hanging or removing the clothes.
My invention primarily has for its object to provide a clothes reel of the general char acter stated of a simple and economical c011- struction and which includes an improved means for easily adjusting the reel to raise and lower it, and the parts cooperatively so connectable that the reel can be readily taken down and assembled into a small roll, and which, when adjusted for use takes up a very small space in the yard.
lVith other objects in view that will hereinafter appear, my invention embodies the peculiar construction and novel arrangement of parts hereinafter described, specifically pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved clothes reel, the same being shown lowered for hanging the clothes. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the reel being shown raised. Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the supporting post, the reel head carrying lever pivotally mounted onthe post and the means for raising and lowering the reel head. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the casting or head member to which the reel arms are screwed.
In the practical construction, my improved clothes reel comprises a reel composed of a series of arms 1, that eXtend radially from a casting 2 having socket-like members 20 to which the inner ends 10 of the arms 1 are fit and bolted, as shown.
The head casting includes a gudgeon or stem 21 that rotatably fits into a deep socket 31 in the upper end of a bar 3 on the upper end of which the reel is rotatably mounted and which is pivotally joined by a cross bolt and nut i to the upper end of the supporting post 5, to swing laterally with respect to the said post 5.
7 designates a lever that is pivoted at the upper end to the post 5 to swing laterally of the said post, as is clearly indicated in Fig. 3
of the drawing, by reference to which it will also be seen a link 6 connects the said lever 7 with the bar 3 and'the bar 3 and lever 7 are relatively so fulcrumed upon the post 5 that the bar 3, when at its upright position, shown in full lines in Fig. 3, laps over the pivot of the lever 7 and the pivotal connection of the link 6 with the said lever 7, the link connection 6 being such that when the lever is swung over to the full line position shown in Fig. 3, the bar 3 is swung to the vertical position to which it is held by a pin 8 that takes through a hole 70 in the lever 7 and which engages a socket 550 in the post 5.
To provide for a close fitting of the bar 3 and the lever 7 against the post 5, the lower end ofthe bar 3 is recessed at 30.
By reason of mounting the reel on the upper end of the bar 3 in the manner stated and shown, the said reel can be readily turned horizontally on its aXis to bring the lines in position for conveniently hanging the clothes, it being understood that as the reel is turned to the desired position, the said reel can be tilted sidewise by proper manipulation of the lever 7 to bring that section on which it is desired to hang the clothes low enough for easily placing the clothes on the lines (see Fig. l) and when the clothes are hung the entire reel body can be adjusted to theraised horizontal position as in Fig. 2 so the clothes will hang uniformly and in proper position. for drying.
The reel arms extend from the head casting at an upwardly inclined angle to put the lines at such height Whenthe reel is elevated to enable anyone to walk under the line with ease, and by reason of connecting the lever 7 to the lower end of the. bar 3 by a link 6, as shown, the downward tilt of the reel, as indicated on Fig. 1, is limited and thereby prevented from dropping below the desired level. 7
What I claim is:
1. In a clothes reel, a post, a bar pivoted.
on one side of the post to swing laterally thereof, a reel rotatably mounted on the up per end of the bar, a lever pivoted on that side of the post on which the bar swings and at a point above the lower end of the said bar, said lever being swingable in the direction of movement of the said bar and a connection between the post and the bar that holds the bar to the vertical position when swung in parallelism with the lever and a detent for holding the lever in parallelism thereof, a reel rotatably mounted on the upper end of the bar, lever pivoted on that side of the post on which the bar swings and at a point above the lower end of the said bar, said lever being swingable in the direc- 10 tion of movement of the said her, and a connection between the lever and the bar for swinging the said bar to the tilted or vertical positions, the said connection including a link member pivoted at its lower end to the lever and pivoted at the upper end to the bar at a point below the pivot of the lever and a detent for holding the lever and the reel bar to the vertical position.
