Patentefl Aug 8, 11922.
WITNESSES UNHTED STATEh DAVID B. BAKER, 0F HOQUIAM, WASHINGTON.
erornns-niarrne anon.
Application filed April 12,
To all w ham it may concern:
Be it known that 1, DAVID B. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hoquiam, in the county of Grays Harbor and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Clothes-Drying Rack, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to clothes drying racks.
The object is to provide a rack for the drying of clothes or other articles which is adapted for use in conjunction with an ordinary hot water boiler as found in the usual kitchen, so as to utilize the heat of the boiler as a drying medium for the clothes. I
Another object is to provide a device of this class which may be manufactured and sold at a low cost by reason of the fact that the same may be made of ordinary strap iron, suitably stamped and bent to form to accomplish the purposes sought, and which will support a plurality of towels, or other articles, in a manner to permit of free circulation of air while being subjected to the drying effects of the heated boiler.
A full and complete understanding of the invention may be obtained from a consideration of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification; it being understood that while the drawing shows a practical form of the invention, the latter is not to be confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed or modified, so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing, in which similar refen' ence characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures:-
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the upper portion of an ordinary water boiler showing the improved drying attachment applied thereto;
Figure 2 is vertical sectional view of the same, taken at right angles to Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the subject matter of Figure l; v
Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 4-4 .of Figure 2.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing as applied to an ordinary kitchen boiler 1, having t e sual cmm ewn ex upp Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 8, 19%;}.
1921. Serial No. 460,858.
.to be understood that the invention may be advantageously used in connection with any other upright element having heat radiating properties.
The invention comprises upper and lower spaced substantially semi-circular bands or arms 5 and 6 respectively, which are formed of suitable strap iron of dimensions to give sutlicient strength to support a quantity of clothes or other articles and struck on a radius to agree with the radius of the boiler 1, and slightly greater than the same, so as to freely rotate therearound.
The arms or bands extend substantially half-way around the boiler and are .connected together ,at their central points by a vertical hanger or support 7, formed of the same material, and suitably riveted :or otherwise secured thereto, as indicated at 8, and
prolongations of the hooks where passing through suitable apertures of'the bands as indicated at 10 in Figure 2.
The hooks 9 are attached to their respective bands, each series in alternate :or staggering arrangement to those of the other band, so that the articles hanging upon the upper set of hooks will not interfere with those suspended from the lower set, as will be understood, and that all of said articles may lie adjacent to the surface of the boiler.
The upper end of the hanger Tis bent inwardly. as at 11, to lie above the top of the boiler and is provided, adjacent to its upper end, with a pair of longitudinallysdisposed, spaced slots 12 for the reception of a pair of boltsl3, which traverse suitable apertures .of the lower extremity of an extension arm .14, the nuts of the bolts 13 preferably lying beneath the arm 1d and serving t bind the extension rigidly in adjusted relation to the upper end of the hanger 7. y
The upper end of the extension arm 14: is bent, as at 15 to lie horizontally and extends ,to a point over the center of the boiler, and is suitably ,apertured for @the reception of a pivotal bolt 1.6 which mounts the rack for swinging movement about the axis of the boiler upon a deck-plate 17 having. a forwardly-extending tongue 18.
The 111ml? i thus loca ed at Wha may having inlet and outlet pipes extending from the top thereof in spaced relation to each other, supporting means clamped to said pipes, a clothes drying rack having a series of curved hands held in spaced relation from the boiler, each band having a plurality of clothes supporting hooks, a vertical hanger connected to said bands and extending over the top of the boiler, an extension arm adjustably connected to said hanger arm, and means for pivotally connecting the extension arm to said supporting means in the vertical longitudinal axis of the boiler.
9. A clothes drying rack for attachment to a kitchen Water boiler, comprising spaced upper and lower, semi-circular bands adapted to partially surround the boiler, a series o't outwardly-extending, radially-disposed hooks carried by each band, a vertically disposed hanger arm connecting the bands at intermediate points and having its upper end portion bent inwardly to extend over the top of the boiler and provided With longitudinal slots, an extension arm fitting against the under side of said upper end portion and having slots in registering relation to the first-named slots for the reception of clamping bolts, the upper end of the extension arm being bent to lie in a horizontal plane and provided With an aperture near its terminal, an upper plate adapted to rest upon the inlet and outlet pipes of the Water boiler and having transverse slots, and a forwardly-extending tongue having an aperture and projecting beneath the horizontal portion of the hanger-arm extension, a bolt traversing the apertures and pivoting the hanger to the supporting plate, a clamping plate adapted to bear against the bottom sides of the inlet and outlet pipes in co-action With the first-named plate, and having transverse slots in registering relation to the first-named trans verse slots, and clamping bolts adapted to the same and movable inwardly or outwardly to fit against the opposed sides of the said pipes to rigidly clamp the plates, together with the attached hanging means, in position upon the boiler.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
DAVID B. BAKER.
