IMPROVEMENT IN REVOLVING AND FOLDING CLOTHESDRIEIRlS.
Specification forming p art of Letters Patent No. 146,307, dated January 1,3, 1874.; application led f November 1. 1873.
To all rwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARCUS A. BoGART, of Delhi, in the county of Delaware and State of New York, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Revolving and Folding Glothes-Driers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings making part of this specification, in which-1 Figure 1 is a sfide elevation of a clothes-drier constructed according to my invention; a portion only of the arms is shown in the hubs. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, it being shortened in length by sliding its legs upon the central post. Fig. 3 is a top view of the lower h alf of the hub, which holds and supports the arms. Fig. 4 is an inverted view of the upper half of the said hub. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section in the line x x, looking downward. Fig. 6 is an elevationof the clothesdrier fully folded to be hung up or put away.
My invention consists, first, in hubs which support the arms, constructed in twohalves, the line of division being horizontal, and with peculiar matching-slots and supporting-shoulders, in combination with arms provided with pivots, on which they can turn when the arms are secured in the hubs. It consists, second, in constructing each of the pair of hubs with notches in their circumference, at points between the slots of the arms, and having the upper one of the pair capable of being reversed, so that the arms of one hub may be folded down and passed in the notches of the lower hub, and the arms of the other hub folded up and passed in the notches of the other hub, and thus the arms of both hubs are folded snugly in a vertical, or in nearly a vertical,
position within a space only as long as the length of one set of arms. It consists, third,
` in the slotted supporting-bracket on the lower Vties for tying the apparatus down are afforded, and thus the legs assisted in holding it in Van upright position againstwinds and shocksn Y To enable others skilled in the art to understand my invention, Iwill proceed to describe tween the collar b and the bracket D. `F is an upper ring, and G-a lower ring,.attached to` the respective ends of the post. The ring F serves as a means by which to suspendthe ,clothes-drier from the ceiling or other elevatedA position, and the ring G asa means by which to tie the clothes-drier down to the licor, or` Aupon a board in theyard or room. When the` drier is suspended the legs are slipped upward to shorten it, and when it is tied down the legs are lowered, and serve to support it. Each of the respective hubs is made of horizontal disks c d. The disk c ofthe upper hub is slotted on its circumference radially, as shown at ff. Matching slots are formed inthe lower` halves of the hubs. Thus slotting the hubs forms a lower support, g, and an upper support, 71., for the arms H, when set into the hub, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, and therefore the arms are supported when in a horizontal position in rear of and above, and also in front of and below, the pivot -pins i, on which they swing when adjusted upward. The
halves of the hubs' are pinned together, `as
shown at s, upon the Ajournal ends of the pins of the arms, said `journal `ends lying down in and fitting up in half -cylindric cavities formed in the matching faces of the halves of the hubs, as' shown in Fig. 3. The upper hub is capable of being inverted, and, in connection `with this inversion of the upper hub,
I employ the notches j j, between the slots ff,
in both of the hubs, to receive the upper ends of the lower set of arms H and the lower ends of the upper set of arms, these notches allowing the arms to fold parallel, or almost parallel,with the post A, as shown in Fig.6. When PATENT OFFICE.'
, the bracket for the thus folded, a rubber band, 7c, is slipped around both sets of arms, and said arms are held securely in position thereby. rlhe legs I I are slipped up through -shaped slots r in the angular bracket D, and pivoted, by their npper ends, to the slotted collar E, as shown. It will be observed that the side and upper portion of the metal inclosing the L-shaped slots 1' of this bracket stay the legs laterally, and so press upon the legs when they are spread that these legs are prevented from spreading too far apart, and their pivots are saved from strain. 'Ihe collar is provided with a clamping-screw, n, by which it is retained after the legs are adjusted to the position shown in Fig.
" 2. The hubs, bracket, and collar are'made of cast metal, and are hollowed out and channeled, as shown, so as to givelightness and neatness of appearance to the same.
I am aware that arms and legs of clothesdriers have been applied to brackets in such a manner that their pivotal supports have been relieved by contact of the inner ends of the arms and legs with the surfaces of the brackets in rear ot' said pivotal supports; but I am not aware that this has been done both in rear and in iront of the pivots, nor at all in clothesdriers where the arms have been simply perforated with a round hole to receive a round pin through them-that is, where the arms have not been made with oblong and oblongangular slots. I am a-lso aware that hinged legs attached to a sliding-collar bracket-have been devised; but I am not aware that a sliding collar, in combination with a stationary compressing and supporting bracket, which dispenses with lateral braces or levers, has ever been used. I further am aware that arms onpairs of hubs have been employed; but I am not aware that the hubs were divided so as to conne the pivots of the arms, and thus avoid slotting the-arms, and one of the hubs (via, the upper hub) made reversible for the purpose of folding'the arms, as shown in Fig. 6. I do not claim anything shown in the 'patents of Elliott Dickerman, dated August 20, 1861, Wm. H. Earnest., September 3,1867, and N. F. Mathewson, dated September 24, 1872 but What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 'is- 1. The revolving hubs C B, for supporting the arms H of a revolving clothes-drier, made of two disks, c d, which are slotted in the manfn ner shown, and pinned together upon the pivots of the arms, as specied, all for the purpose set forth.
2. The upper hub C, carrying hinged arms H, and made reversible, and notched, as at j, between the slots which receive the arms, in combination with the lower hub B, carrying hinged arms H, and notched in the same manner as at j, for the purpose described.
3. The bracket D, constructed as shown, and applied on the lower end of the post A of a revolving clothes drier, in combination with the sliding collar E and hinged legs I, as herein described, for the purpose set forth.
4. rlhe combination of the lower ring G with the post A and sliding hinged legs I of a revolving clothes-drier, in the manner and for the purpose herein described.
