UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE;
'AUGUST C, FISCHER, F NEWARK, JERSEY.
' JDRYING RACK.
Application filed March 3, 1928. Serial No. 258,715.
The present invention relates, generally, to
racks such as are used for holding clothes during drying; and the invention relates,
:more particularly, to racks which are foldable into a compact bundle and which are to be mounted by various means to hold the arms in clothes supporting position.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of an illustrative embodiment of'the invention and from the drawings and claims forming part thereof; and the invention also consists in the devices and combinations and arrangements ofparts set forth inthe claims.
In the drawings forminga part of this application and illustrating the invention:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the dr ing rack of the invention in assembled flirm mounted on a radiator; V
Figure 2 is an end elevation view of the as sembly of Figure 1, in part section taken along the line '22 of Figure 3, but with the arms in position different therefrom;
Figure 3 isa side elevation View of the assembly' of Figures 1 and-2;
Figure 4 is an elevation view showing the rack arms and support therefor mounted in a manner and by meansdifferent from those of Figures 1 to 3 ;and 7 Figures 5 and 6 are respectively, a plan view and anelevation view'of the rack arms and support therefor assembled together in compact form.
In all of the above described views similar characters of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts throughout.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference character 1 designates a longitudinal bar which tapers convergingly toward its outer end and which at its base 2 is relatively wide and flat. Extending inwardly from the outer end'of said base 2 is a threaded hole 3 and extending transversel through said base 2 are the holes 4 and 5. aid bar 1 is preferably of wood in which case said hole 3 need not necessarily be threaded previous to usebecause the mounting rod to be threaded therein, and
outer end has a kerf 11 adapted to impart a hereinafter fully described, will serve to cut its'own thread. Positioned on said bar'l'by having been passed over its outer end is the rigid washer 6, preferably of metal, whose central opening is of such size as to engage said bar in positive positioning relation at approximately a given distance from the outer end to serve as a support for a plurality of arms 7, 7 when mounted thereon as shown in Figs. 1 to 4. 5
Each of said arms 7, 7 tapers convergingly outwardly similarly to said support bar 1 and has a base 8 similar to base 2 of said bar 1. Extending transversely through the base 8 of each of said arms 7, 7 is an opening 9 and (extending inwardly from the outer end of said base 8 and inwardly beyond said opening 9 is a saw cut or kerf 10 which divides sa d base 8 into two parts one on each side of said opening 9 to givea springiness thereto whereby a compressible resistance is offered against said tapered bar 1 when it is passed through said opening 9. Said bar 1 at its springiness to that part in order that it may have a binding engagement with the sides of said openings t), 9 when .said arms 7, 7 are positioned on said rod 1. It is to be understood, of course, that the device can beused without said kerfs 10 and 11, and that said washer 6 can be dispensed with in which latter case the taper of saidbar 1 is utilized :to hold the arms 7 at .a position near the outer end of the-rod. c
'As one means for attaching the rack of the invention to various places there is provided a rod 12 which has at one end a threaded shank 13 from which latter there extends a -C shaped portion having, as its lower part, a
In Figures 1, 2 and 3 is shown a steam or hot water radiator 17 of the Well known type having sections 18, 18 which are spaced apart by the engaging lugs 19, 19 or the connecting bosses 20, 20 formed integral therewith and having the securing rods 21, 21 which hold said sections 18, 18 in assembled relation. 7
Said C-rod 12 is mounted with said bar 14 under a pair of said lugs 19, 19 and with said bar 15 extending across the tops of radiator sections 18, 18 adjacent thereto, the two said bars 14 and 15 being secured in place in clamping relation by means of said wing nut 16. Said bar 1 is mounted in operative relation in the upright position by having its said hole 3 threaded onto said shank 13. Said Washer (3 being passed onto the outer end of said bar 1 as far as it will go,the said arms 7, 7 are mounted above it on said bar 1 by slipping their respective openings 9, 9 thereover. Said arms 7, 7 can be arranged in any radial position on said bar 1.
. When desired said bar 1 and said arms 7, 7, any or all of them, can be mounted on said shank 13 and mounted on a radiator 17 or on any other suitable means, with a base 2 or 8, or bar 15 in clamping engagement with the top of the radiator and with the bar 1 and arms 7, 7 aligned or in radially arranged relation. The general arrangement of the parts in this respect is indicated by Figure 6 of the drawing which shows the parts in compact assembled relation to form a flat bundle, and as they would be placed, for example, for storage or shipping.
In Figure 4 of the drawing said bar 1 is shown secured in place to a wall 22 by means of the screws 23, 23 with said bar 15 as a spacer, the washer 6 and arms 7, 7 being mounted on bar 1 in the manner shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Instead of using said bar 14 in clamping relation with said bar 15, the upper bar 24 can be used, to suit the thickness of the part to which the device is to be clamped.
Any of said arms 7 can be used as the support bar in place of said bar 1 and the latter can be used as an arm mounted on a bar in the same way that the arms 7 7 are used.
Other changes may be made in the general arrangements and combinations of the various devices and parts, as well as in the details of the construction of said parts, without departing from the scope of the present inven tion, and as set forth in the appended claims.
Hence, I do not limit my present invention t: the exact arrangements and combinations 2 the various devices and parts as described hereinafter in the specification, nor do I confine myself to the exact deta ls'of the construction of the said parts, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
' Having thus described my invention, what I desire to protect by Letters Patent and claim is 1. In a rack, in combination, a C-har having a longitudinal threaded shank extending substantially at a right angle upwardly away from one of the transverse bars of said C-bar, a nut for said threaded shank, a bar mountable on said shank and adapted to be held by said nut in clamping relation with one of the transverse bars of said @-bar, a rod hav-v ing one end tapered convergingly outwardly and having at its other end an opening 6X- tendinginwardly from said end and adapted to receive said threaded shank, and a plurality of arms each having a transverse opening adapted to receive the tapered end of said .rod for a short distance and to engage the sides of said tapered end.
2. In a rack, in combination, a C-bar having a longitudinal threaded shank extending substantially at a right angle upwardly away from one of the transverse bars of said C-bar, a nut for said threaded shank, a bar mountable on said shank and adapted to be held by said nut in clamping relation with one of the transverse bars of said C-bar, a rod having distance and to engage the sides of said tapered end.
In testimony, that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of February, 1928.
AUGUST C. FISCHER.
