UNITED STATES A. HARLEIGH HILL, OF ST. JOHN SBURY, VERMONT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-DRIERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,612, dated August 29, 1871.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, A. HARLEIGH HILL, of St. J ohnsbury, Caledonia county, Vermont,have invented an Improved Clothes-Drier, of which the `following is a specication:
This invention relates to a clothes-drier in which any desired number of rings is placed, one above another, on a rod which is secured to a bracket that is connected with the side of a wall or other vertical support, in such manner that it may be readily removed or replaced, each of said rings having a socket cast on its exterior for the reception of the rod which supports the clothes; said sockets and rods being so constructed with reference to each other that, as long as the rods are held horizontally in the sockets, the former cannot be withdrawn from the latter; and said rods being furnished with a device which, accordingly as it is adjusted, when the rods are drawn out from the socket and hang suspended thereto, either prevents or permits their removal therefrom.
Referring to the drawing-in which Figure l is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of an arm and socketiy are the tips ofthe bracket aforesaid, through which tips are made holes b a trifle larger than the heads of the screws that fasten the bracket to the wall. Grooves c extend upward from the holes b lengthwise of the fronts of the heads a, which grooves are a little wider than the bodies of the screws. The latter are partly buried in the wall, their heads projecting, and to connect the bracket with the wall it should be slipped on the screw-heads by means of the holes b, and then slid downward by means of the grooves e as far as the latter permit. In this position the brackets are held securely, but they can be readily removed by reversing the process through which they were attached. The sockets aforesaid have concave butts c next to the rings f, under which butts the inner ends of the rods g bear when the same are horizontal. To said rods are attached pins h by means of prongs projecting from the pins at rights angles thereto, which prongs are driven into the ends of the rods g. The pins IL stand, therefore, at rightangles to the length of the arms. Perpendieular holes i are formed in the under sides of the butts c, and when the pins h are inserted in the holes i the rods g cannot be withdrawn from the sockets as long as they remain horizontal. Accidents to the clothes resulting from the falling of the rods are thus fully guarded against. The rods can be disengaged from the sockets by lowering their inner ends until the pins lt are clear of the holes t'. Staples j are fastened to the under sides of the rods g, one of the arms of each staple being screwed into the rod, and the other arm terniiinating at the surface of the rod. The staples i11- close the tips e of the sockets, and as long as the sta-ples are in line with the rods g the latter are prevented from disengaging from the sockets while hanging to the tips c. The staples, however, can be turned to either side so as to leave gaps between their shorter arms and the rods g, and when this is done the arms can be disconnected from the sockets.
I cla-im as my invention- The rod g, when provided with the adjustable staple j and rigid pin h, and combined with the socket e provided with the hole i, as described.
A. HARLEIGH HILL.
