ADJUSTABLE LINE-SUPPORT.
Application filed February 27, 1915. Serial No. 11,045.
Line-Supports; and I do hereby declare the following to `be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to adjustable line supports, designed more particularly for supporting a clothes line in a kitchen or other room at a point near the ceiling to dry the clothes, but capable of use in show windows or other places for supporting articles of various characters and being adjustable vertically up or down within the window as required to properly display the goods.
he principal object of the invention is to provide a line support which can be readily raised to any desired point and lowered to give access to the line for placing clothes or other articles thereon, and when used as a clothes line support and drawn up near the ceiling, the heated air which rises will readily dry the clothes.
Another object of the invention is to provide a clothes line support which may be connected to any widths of rooms and to any shape of rooms, and which can be raised and lowered by a single line or cord.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Y,
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a line support made in accordance with this invention, and connected to the side walls of a room, and the device being shown broken away near its lower-end, and Fig. 2 is a top plan view of one of the swinging brackets.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the side walls of a room and 2 is the ceiling. Secured to the side walls near the ceiling are brackets 3, said brackets having each a horizontal extension 4, and said brackets being connected to the side walls by nails or screws 5. imilar brackets 6 are secured to the side walls at a suitable point below the brackets 3 and are also provided with horizontal portions 7 and secured to the side walls by suitable fastenings 8. Pivoted at 9 to the brackets 3 are pulley Specification of Letters Patent.

supports 10 and 10a. Y The support4 10a isv provided with a grooved pulley 11 mounted in an opening therein and secured to the support is a bar 12, said bar being connected to the support by a' pin or bolt 13. The lower end of the bar 12 is connected to an arm or plate 14 pivoted at 15 to the bracket G, said bar being secured to said arm or plate 1/1 by a suitable bolt 16. A bar 12FL similar to the bar 12 is secured to the bracket 10 by a bolt 13a at its upper end while the lower end is secured to an arm 14a at the lower end, said arm being pivoted on the pin 15a supported in the bracket 6.
The clothes line 17 is provided at each end with a hook 18, one of said hooks being provided with a thumb screw 19 by means of which the clothes line may be adjusted to any required length. The hooks 18 are connected to bolts 20 carried by the sliding blocks or carriers 21, said carriers being provided with grooved pulleys 22 which engage the edges of the vertical bars 12 and 12a.
A rope or cord 23 is connected permanently to the sliding carrier 21 at 24C, and
said cord passes over the pulley 11 and across t0 and around a pulley l1a mounted in the pivoted support 10. The cord eX- tends down through the hole in the arm 1&1t1 and is provided with a ring 25 adapted to engage a hook 26 when the clothes line is raised to its uppermost position near the ceiling. A cord 23FL is connected to the carrier 21 upon the opposite side ofthe room permanently, and this cord leads over a pulley 23b in the support 10 and it is connected to the cord 23 in any suitable manner.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that when the ring 25 is disengaged from the hook 26 the weight of the carriers 21 and the clothes line will be suiiicient to move the carriers down upon the bars 12 and 12a to, a position to readily Vconnect the clothes 0, to the clothes line 17. l
Various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claim.
that is claimed is:
In a device of the character described comprising two pairs of upper and lower brackets secured to a base, a pair of pulley supports pivotally connected to the upper bracket of each pair, a pulley journaled in one of said pulley supports, a pair of oppositely disposed pulleys journaled in the rope secured to the other carrier and pass-V ing' over the pulley in one of said pulley 1J supports and over one of the oppositely disposed pulleys and connected to said first mentioned rope to raise and lower the eurriers simultaneously.
ln testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature 20 in presence of two Witnesses.
