A. C. STOWE.- Improvement in Clothes Dri-ers.
NO,125227, PatentedApril2,l87 2.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ANSON G. STOWE, OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-DRIERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,227, dated April 2, 1872 antedated March 21, 1872.
SPECIFICATION.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANsoN G.- S'rown, of San J os, county of Santa Clara, State of (Jalifornia, have invented an Improved Rack for Drying Clothes and I do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawing are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appertains to make and use my said invention or improvements without further invention or experiment.
My invention relates to improvementsin that class of extensible racks for drying clothes which are hung upon a wall, and are so constructed as to permit of their being partially folded or cramped, when required for use, so as to throw the main portion out from the wall.
My improvement consists in the employment of ropes or cords for supporting the parts of the frame in the cramped position when they are being used, and in connecting these cords by means of rods, which also serve upon which to hang small clothes.
In order to explain my invention more fully, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my drier in position. Fig.2shows it extended on the wall.
Fig. 3 is afront view of my drier.
A A represent the side pieces of one-half of the frame, and these pieces are connected by rods 1). O G are also side pieces, which are connected by the rods d. These two frames are hinged together at one end, so as to form an extensible or folding rackfor dryingclothes. At the upper end of each of the side pieces A is a loop or ring, 6, by means of which the rack is suspended from a nail in the wall. Now, in order to retain these connected frames in the cramped position when the center is thrown out from the wall I employ cords, f, which are also secured to the upper ends of the side pieces A. At the lower end of these cords is a loop, g, which, when the lower frame is drawn up, can be passed over a pin, h, so as to retain the frames in the cramped or partially folded position against the wall. These cords are further utilized by employing them to support other horizontal bars, 1? i, which have their ends secured to the opposite cords, thus furnishing more clothes room.
By this construction and arrangement the rack is rendered capable of containing a larger number of pieces in the same space than where the frames are simply supported by a bar, thus greatly adding to its convenience and value.
When the drier is not needed for use, the loops 9 can be thrown off of the pins 71, so as to allow the frame to extend and lie against the wall.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
The cords f, with their horizontal and connecting-rods 'i, in combination with the hinged frames, consisting of the side pieces A and G and rods 1) and d, substantially as and for the purpose above described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
