HENRY W. STEINKRekUS, OF PEOBIA, ILLINOIS.
CLOTHESLINE HOLDER.
Application filed April 19, 1923. Serial No. 633,102.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, 'HENRY W. STEIN- KnAUs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothesline Holders; and I do hereby declare that theifollowing is a full, clear, and exact description'of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I
This invention relates to improvements in clothes line holders and has for its object to provide a form of device for attachment to a suitable support that will securely hold a clothes line under varying conditions as to strains; that will be strong and sturdy, and
that will permit the line to be extended and stretched in any desired direction.
To the end that the invention may be understood I have provided the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan of my invention shown in position upon the side of a post.
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional elevation on line 22, Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is a front elevation of the device.
The complete device includes a bracket made up ot a single stamping, preferably, having the limbs l and 2 formed at right angles to one another, the limb 2 being adapted to be secured to'a post 3, or other suitable support by screws 4 or other suitable means so that the limb will take up a substantially horizontal position. Suitable bracing members may be provided between i the limbs, it desired, as 5 for example, to maintain the said limbs relatively rigid.
Secured upon the limb 1 at about its middle is a binding plate or cleat 6 best shown in elevation in Figure 2, said plate or cleat having its opposite extremities disposed at an angle to said limb 1. Mounted on the latter, one on each side of the cleat, are pulleys 7 and 7 whose centers preferably lie upon a line extending through the middle of the cleat between its raised ends.
At the edge of the limb 1 is a pair of upturned lugs 8 each lying opposite one of the said pulleys 7,7 substantially as shown.
One of the line holders thus constructed may be used at several places upon the location where the clothes line is to be strung and the extremities or any middle stretch of the line be as readily secured for use.
When used to hold the end of the line the.
latter designated at 9 is passed around the pulley 7 for example, thence carried beneath one end of the cleat where any amount of friction may be exerted upon the line by drawing said line firmly therebeneath, and thence around the other pulley or wheel 7 If greater friction is desired the line be drawn beneath the other end of the cleat and again around the'pulley 7 and thence back in the direction the line is being carried, the dotted lines A in Figure l indicating the manner of procedure. When used to carry an intermediate portion of the line the simple passing from one pulley to the other beneath one end of the cleat if found to be sufficient for any but extreme weights on the line otherwise to method of winding first described will withstand greater strains.
The device is so constructed and assembled that when mounted upon a post as shown in Figure 1 the line may be stretched in any direction, the direction of winding upon the pulleys being chosen as best suited to requirements, the character B indicating in 'dottedlines possible directions in which the some modes of winding from loosening itself from the cleat-friction.
The pulleys act as parts around which to take a hitch in stretching the line, 'it will be seen, and said pulleys are preferable as compared with a mere post in that being revoluble there is less friction in drawing the line taut.
I claim:
1. A. clothes line holder comprising a bracket, a member secured between its ends thereon with its opposite extremities disposed at an angle to the plane of the said bracket, and, a pulley mounted on the bracket at each side of the member, the
centers of the pulleys and the portion of the member between its said extremities lying substantially in line with one another.
2. A clothes line holder comprising a bracket, a member secured between its ends thereon with its opposite extremities disposed at an angle to the plane of the said bracket, and a pulley mounted on the bracket at each side of the member, the centers of the pulleys and the portion of the member between its extremities lying substantially in line with one another, the bracket having a pair of lugs one of which is disposed opposite each of the pulleys, a line passing through a pulley and its adjacent lug lying at right angles to a line drawn through both pulleys.
3.. A clothes line holder comprising a bracket for attachment to a support, a portion thereof adapted to be supported in a substantially horizontal position, a member secured between its ends upon the portion and having opposite extremities disposed at an angle to the plane of the portion, and a pulley stationed on the portion at each side of the first named member around which to place the line, the two pulleys so stationed lying on a line drawn through the said member between the angularly disposed extremities thereof, the portion of the bracket carrying the pulleys'having a lug thereon disposed opposite each of the said pulleys.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
