To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that 'ARTHUR S. PRA'rr, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Lincoln'Place, inthe county of Allegheny and .State of Pennsylvania, has
invented new anduseful Improvements in Laundry Clothes Sticks, of which the following is a specification. v v
The object of the invention is to provide a clothes stick or hook designed for use in turning, rearranging, raising and dipping and otherwise manipulating clothes or other fabric articles in a laundry boiler or wash tub during the bolling or soaking operation asa means of insuring the proper access of the water and cleansing agent to the various parts thereof; and more particularly to provide a device'for this purpose by which the fabrics may be engaged and either moved 2!? laterally or in a circulatory path or vertically with the minimum risk of tearing or straining the same and whereby the clothes may be raised out of the boiler or tub without permitting the slipping or disengagement thereof from the stick and without involving the operator in an unnecessary amount of effort; and with. these objects in View the invention consists in a construction and combinationof parts of which a preferred embodiment is. shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side view, and
Figure 2 is a front viewof a clothes stick embodying the invention;
Figures 3 and 4; are transverse sections respectively on the planes indicated by the lines 33 and 4-4 of Figure 2.
The device consists essentially of a stafi 10 which in practice may be made of wood or any prefered relatively light material having the requisite stiffness and strength with a handle or grip portion 11 which is rounded for convenience in grasping the same and a cross sectionally angular and preferably square fulcruming and winding portion l2which at its extremity carries a hook 111 the form of a tongue 13 disposed at an acute angle to the length of the staff to form an undercut lifting surface 14 and an outer bearing surface 15 of which the latter is flush with the extremity of the staff. This tongue is preferably of cross sectionally rectangular form as being better adapted to engage and prevent the slipping therefrom of the clothes or fabrics and is reduced or tapered uniformly from its base adjacent to the surface of the staff toward its extremity as shown clearly in Figure 2 to present a terminal reduced flat surface 16. Moreover said tongue is preferably formed on, as a part of, or at least rigid with an attaching or base plate 17 of fiat form which is secured to the staff by means of screws'18 or equivalent fastening means.
The cross sectionally angular portion of the staff serves as a means of raising the staff upon the side wall of the boiler, tub or like receptacle to constitute a bearing or fulcrum by which clothes engaged with the hook or tongue may be elevated, the stafi being used as a lever, and moreover in removing clothing from the water in the boiler or tub the tongue may be engaged herewith and then the staff may be rotated to wind the fabrics around the cross section'- ally angular or fulcruming portion of the staff, the angular form of the latter serving to efiect a more secure engagement therewith, and at the same time by bearing the squared portion upon the edge of the boiler, the'progressive winding of the fabrics may be effected with less effort upon the part of the operator in resisting the tendency of the staff to turn backward and unreel or loosen the portion of the clothing which has been wound thereon.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new and useful is:
A clothes stick comprising a staff shaped at one extremity to provide a grip portion, and a hook element secured to the handle at the end remote from the grip portion, and
consisting of a base plate of flat form seture.
