PATENT QFFICE JOSEPH B. HABEGKER, OF NEWPORT, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-LINE HOLDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No: 121,167, dated November 21, 1871.
'To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J osnrn B. HABEGKER, of Newport, in the county of Perry and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Clothes-Line Holder, Elevator, and Stretcher and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a clothes-line holder which can be elevated so as to stretch the line, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the entire clothes-line holder, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of a spring-catch used in the same, with the casing around the'catch in longitudinal section.
A A represent posts set in the ground and provided on one side with guides or holders B B, through which pass the upright bars 0 0. These bars are slotted in their upper ends to receive and support the clothes-line D. Through the lower guide or holder B is passed a metal tube or casing, E, which has within it a spring-catch or bolt, G, which is rounded on its inner end, as shown in Fig. 2, and is made to fit in holes a made in the bar 0. From the lower side of each of said holes is a tapering groove, made in the bar so that the bar can be raised without withdrawing the spring bolt, it sliding outward in the tapering groove, while the bar cannot be lowered without withdrawing the bolt by hand. Through the lower end of each bar 0 is a rod or handle, I), by means of which the bar is raised. be secured to some stationary objects.
The bars 0 0 being lowered, the line is only about five feet high at the stationary posts and still lower at the sag 5 hence there is no strain in hanging up clothes. When the clothes are all hung up the bars 0 O are raised, holding the line in a firm position so as not to allow it to swing back and forth; also keeps the line perfectly stretched.
In place of the springbolts G and handles b I may use a rack-bar attached to each bar, and a cog-wheel gearing with the same for raising and lowering the bars 5 but this device would be more expensive than the other.
Having thus fully described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the posts A, guides B, bars 0, the spring-bolts G or their equivalents, holes a with their grooves, and the handles 1), all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of October, 1871.
JOSEPH B. HABEOKER.
