INVENTOR LEVI STEVENSON BY HIS ATTQRNEY LEVI STEVENSON", OF DEER RIVER, MINNESOTA.
CLOTHES-RACK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 29, 1920.
Application filed November 3, 1919. Serial No. 336,530.
To a. whom it may conrww:
Be it known that T, Luv: SIIWENSON, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Deer River, in the county of Itasca and State oi Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Racks, of which the it'ollowdnge is a specification.
My invention relates to clothes drying racks and the object is to provide an ellicient and durable yet simple and easily operated rack of such construction that it can be used in various ways and under a variety of circumstanccs. The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the rack complete set up and ready for use.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device as shown in Fig. 1, but with half of the rack folded up.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but show ing the entire rack folded up in position to be set away.
Fig. l is a detail view showing the lower folding TllBITllXlS of the rack as seen from the left in Fig. 1, but with a lcw parts omitted.
Fig. is a top view of the device as seen in Fig. 4. but with a portion broken away.
Fig. l is a top view of the rack as seen in Fig. 2. but with the lower parts thereof omitted.
Fig. 7 is a detail view of the upper por tion of the rack as seen from the left in Fig. 3.
Fig. 8 is a. diametrical detail sectional view oi the base portion of the rack.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals Udesignates a fixed non-rotatable standard being secured at its bottom in a casting 10 secured to the main base 11. Said base 11 consists of our angular members, and each of said members has a. hinged extension 12 adapted to swing ul'nvardly. At the extremities of said extensions are pivoted the lower ends of angular braces 13 which are jointed slightly below their middle points and have their upper ends pivotally secured to a collar 14 fixed 0n the standard 9. Two opposite of said braces 13 are connected by links 15 to a single slidable collar 16 (see especially Fig. 4:), but the other braces 13 are connected each by a link 17 to an individual collar 18.
Pivotally bolted with bolts 19 and 20 to the upper portion of the standard 9 are four castings L1 in which are pivotally mounted with pivots 22 four sets of drying arms 23. Each casting 21 is provided (in the same relative positions) with an angular extension 24 and each pair of these extensions on each side of the standard is connected to gether by an actuating link rod 25, so that the turning of both castings on their pivot bolts 19 and .l l on each side of the standard will be simultaneous.
The operation of the device is very sine plc. .\s it is shown in Fig. 1 it is set up entirely. ll it is desired to use only hall oi the rack, considerable room can be saved by folding together and dropping the drying arms 2 by pushing up on the actuating link rod 25 on the right, and then pushing the upper collar 18 up on the standard which will bring the corresponding base extension 12 up and allow the device to be set closer into a corner of a room or near a wall Fig. in a like manner when the device is to be set away or is not in use (see Fig. 3) all the drying arms can be low ercd in a like manner, and the rest of the base extensions 12 can be folded up by also raising the lower collar l and by lowering the collar 16 upon the standard.
The obiect of offsetting the two opposite braces 2 (see Figs. 1 and 5) which are on the sides of the standard corresponding to the positions of the drying arms 23 is to allow the lower sets of the drying arms to hang perpciulieular when they are in their dropped or lowered positions.
Having now fully shown and described my invention, what l claim to be new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the class described, consisting of a base, extensions hingedly secured to said base, a standard centrally positioned and secured to said base. jointed inclined braces pivotally secured at their upper ends to the standard and pivotally secured at their lower ends to the extremities oi said base extensions, collars slidably mounted on the standard, link coI-mections between said collars and said inclined braces.
2. A device of the class described, consisting of a base, a standard secured in said base, upper and lower disposed bracket members pivotally mounted in pairs on opposite sides of said standard, operative connections between the bracket members on each side of the standard whereby said brackets on either side thereof may be actuabed HiHlHlLullGUllF-fl), a series of (laying arms pivntally mounted in mu'h of Said bracket IHIIHIIUI'FL 5%. duke of thu (lass Ivan-Una) lUIlSiHU in; 01' a, suitable haw, a standard swarm! in Hair] lmso, upper and lower diqmaml la'acwkvt members pivotally mounted in pairs an opposite sides of said standard, link rods pivotally connected at curl] and to bracket mcm.)ers on each side 01 the standard, a su- 10 l'ius of drying arms pivnLaHy nmumlm] in uavh of said lnarkot mmnlmrs.
