COMBINED CLOTHES POLE AND LINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 29, 1917.
Application filed February 10, 1916, Serial No. 77,392. Renewed November 4,1916. Serial No. 129,629.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. WALKER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Stratford, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Clothes Poles and Lines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in combined clothes lines and posts for use in a yard, for supporting and drying clothes.
The purpose of the invention is to provide adesirable hollow clothes line post which may be set in the ground to support one end of a clothes line and in which the line may be kept when not in use,-to provide a line and means within the post for automatically drawing the line in the post when released and whereby the line may be extended from time to time, and further to provide means whereby the line and weight may be removed from the top end of the post should occasion require,and finally to provide means for effectively sheltering the outer end of the line, when not in use.
With these and other objects in view the invention resides and consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understoodthat various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction within the scope of the claims may be resorted to without departure from the spirit or sacrlficing any of the advantages of the invention.
Similar characters of reference denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and upon which,
Figure -1 shows a side elevation of my 1mproved clothes line post. I
Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the post, and illustrating the attached line, pulley blocks and weight upon the in-' side.
Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the post, pulley block and attached line, taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking upward, and
Fig. 4 is a similar cross sectional view, the
cap upon the post being shown turned to cover the knot in the end of the line.
eferring in detail to the characters of reference marked upon the drawings 5 designates a hollow post which in practice would be made of a suitable length of pipe. The lower end is inclosed by a cap 6 to prevent the leakage of water therein. The top end of the hollow post is covered by a detachable cover 7 the outer top portion of which is preferably pointed as shown. The posts are made about twelve feet long and in practice are set in the ground four or five feet in a way to allow them to stand out seven or eight feet, as occasion may require.
The covering 7 on the top end of the post is provided with a central hub 8 upon its under side which extends down in the top end of the post a sufiicient distance to hold the cover in position and in a manner to allow it to be turned thereon. The cover further includes an annular depending apron 9 which is spaced from the post and hangs down around the top edge portion of the post in a way to form a housing for the end 10 of the clothes line 11 as indicated in Fig. l. Thisapron is further provided with an opening 12 through one side of its edge portion to permit the line to be drawn out therefrom as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A further opening 13 is cut through one'side of the upper edge portion of the post as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 to allow the line to be run in and out of the post and over from the upper pulley block 14:.
This pulley block 14 is attached to the cover 7 before mentioned, and serves to support the clothes line 11 which is carried over it, in two places. The inner end 15 of the clothes line is securedto a bracket 16 fixed to the weight 17 shown hanging in the bottom of the post in Fig. 2. Thisbracket also serves to accommodate the bottom pulley 18 under which the line passes. The rope as will be noted in addition to bein tached to the weight is first dispose up ward and then threaded through the upper pulley block 14 and then carried down and through the lower pulley block and again returned upward and over the upper pulley block and has its end portion extended outost and cover. 106
through openings in the The outer end of this line is provided with a knot 11 to prevent it from being drawn through the hole in the post and as before suggested is normally retained under the apron of the cover, when not in use. The cover is turned slightly after the knot has been run back against the post in a manner to cover and hide the line.
In addition to the foregoing it will also be noted that a pin 19 is mounted in the upper end of the post so that its ends project therefrom suificiently to permit the knot end of the line to be tied thereto. In practice several of these posts with lines would be employed to accommodate the average family washing and the line from the one post would be drawn out and attached to the pin of the adjacent post. It will, of course, be apparent that the line of each post would be extended by drawing it from the upper end of the post against the action of the weight which is raised to the upper end of the post when the line has been fully drawn out. With a construction of this sort about thirty feet of line can easily be housed within a post of the length suggested and in a way to be thoroughly housed and kept clean when not in use. A further feature and advantage of this form of construction resides in the fact that the cover and attached line are removable,- thus should the linebecome broken or the weight stick the cover can be removed and the device repairedand parts renewed if occasion requires.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a combined clothes post and line, the combination of a hollow metal post, a removable cover inclosing the top end of the post, a line attached to the cover and having one end extended out of the post, means within the post for drawing the clothes line within the post, the said line and actuating means being free to be removed from the upper end of the post by lifting the cover.
2. In a combined clothes post and line, the combination of a hollow metal post, a removable cover inclosing the top. end of the post, a pulley block attached to the cover, a weight within the post, a second pulley attached to the weight, a line hungfrom the cover being threaded over and under the pulley blocks and having one endfixed and the other end extended out from the up er end of the post, the said weight and line eing adapted to be removed through the upper end of the post by the removal ofthe cover.
3. A combined clothes post and line including a hollow post, a movable cover for the top end of the post and having an annular apron extended down around and spaced from the outer top sides of the post, a line attached to the cover, means within the post for drawing and normally holding the ex tended end of the line under the said apron.
4. A combined clothes post and line in-' cluding a hollow post having an opening through its upper side portion, a rotatable cover for the top end of the post and having an annular apron extended down around and spaced from the outer top sides of the post, an opening through the saidapron adapted to aline with the opening in the post, a line attached to the cover, means for drawing in and normally holding the end of the line housed under the said apron.
