UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
AZRO B. JAQUITH, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-FRAMES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,952, dated October 13, 1874; application filed November 24, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Azno B. JAQUITH, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Clothes-Briers, and also, in
connection therewith, certain devices by which the clothes-drier may be easily converted into a childs cradle or crib, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to that class of clothesdriers which are commonly used in the house, and which admit of being extended or closed, as may be required, for use or otherwise.
In the drawings accompanying this specification, Figure 1 is a View showing the attachment-for a crib or cradle. Fig. 2 is an end view of the clothes-drier when folded, not in use. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 show details of construction.
In constructing this clothes-drier, pieces of wood A A, of. suitable size and shape, are placed crosswise with each other and at their points of intersection, and, crossing, are pivoted together by rods B B, in a manner similar to the well-known device popularly called lazy-tongs, and tapering at the top to a pyramidal shape, which result is obtained in consequence of each of the upper side pieces A A being shorter than the ones immediately below them. This description answers for one side or end of the clothes-drier, which is connected by the pivot-rods B B to bars arranged in a similar manner, forming the opposite end of the clothesdrier. Upon one of the central and upper rods, shown at 0, Fig. 1, are loosely hung short pieces D, which are connected,
. also, by a rod, E. The lower end of the short tended for use the pieces D will rest upon the rod immediately under it, as seen at a, Fig. 1, and thus prevent the clothes-drier from collapsing. The length of the pieces D are determined by the height it is desired to have the clothes-drier extended. By swinging the pieces D off of the rod upon which their lower ends rest, the clothes-drier is permitted to collapse, and thus assume the position shown in Fig. 2, and thus it may be' packed away in a small space of room.
In connection with the clothes-drier is a device designed to be used for a childs cradle or crib, which is clearly shown at G, Fig. 1, and details in Figs. 3, 4, 5. In carrying out this device I take a cloth or canvas of suitable size and shape, as shown in Fig. 3, and to each ofits longest edges are secured rods 1' r, to which are also secured hooks h h, by which means the cloth or canvas G is suspended from the lower outside rods of the clothesdrier, which thus forms a cheap and simple bed-bottom, sufficient to support a small child,
and, in connection with the rockers K K, af-
fording a very simple and convenient cradle. The rockers K are easily adjusted to the bottom legs of the clothes-frame, and are retained in their place by the peculiar construction of the mortises, (clearly shown at N, Fig. 5,) into which the legs of the clothes-frame fit.
I claim The combination, with a clothes-frame constructed as described, of rockers K K, and rack G, provided with rods 1 r, and hooks h h h h, as and for the purposes specified.
