SEATTLE, WASI-IINCurTON"` CURTAIN Divina AND s'rREroHER Application mea Mayas,
My invention relates vto improvements in" Y 1133' when the drying process is finished.
Another object is' to provide a perforated' shell'of this nature which has tapethreaded therethrough both longitudinally and ciry cumferentially to afford means to which the curtains may he pinned or otherwise fastened.y
Another Objectis to'pjrovide a curtain drying and stretching shell of this nature having one or more longitudinally corrugated end pieces preferably of expanding or conical shape which are adapted to have the rufles of the curtain drawn thereover so that they will impart aflutedshape to said ruifles during the drying process.
Another obj ect is to provide a curtain drier 5V and stretcher of this nat-ure which is made up of two or more telescopic sections adapted to form a drying and stretching tube when they are extended and to form a hamper or receptacle when they are telescoped.
Other and more specific objects will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In laundering curtains it is necessary to I stretch the curtains Vwhile they are drying so that they will dry smooth and straight and will not require ironing. In domestic or home laundry work this has heretofore been done by pinning the curtains out fiat on large rectangular frames. These frames cost a substantial amount, are cumbersome to handle, take up a great deal of room andordinarily must be set up and taken down each time they are used. My present invention overcomes the objections due to these frames by providing a curtain stretching and drying device of such cheap construction that' it may be purchased by any person desiring vto launder their own curtains and by providing a curtain drier and stretcher which is always ready for use, whichl does not have to be set up and taken down, whichtakes up very little room ,either when in'use or when not in use, and which is eflicient in drying` curtains quickly "and leaving the saine ,55

Y Fig. 4 is al fragmentary view4 partlyv in longitudinalv section andfpartly in elevations-5 showing'a rufliedrierand shaper on thel end ofthe main drying tube.' i Fig'. 5 is 'a fragmentary cross section ion line V5-5 of Fig, l of saidruiie drier!"4 i `Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section 'of a'cur- 70' tain stretcher yanddrier'made up ofa'jplu'- rality of telescopic y sectionsl the y'same' being shown eX- tended." I` 1 i "f` vFig. 7 fis an elevation showing the telescopicn drier telescoped orcollapsed to form a ham` 75 v er.` 'I' Like reference numeralsl designate flike parts throughout the several views".
yReferring toj Figs. lV to`5 inclusive "the numeral l0v designates a relatively long tube 30. preferably constructed ofcardboard 'orfofv similar cheap material. The tube `l0 is preferably open at .both ,endsand .isi provided with a pluralityof perforations 11 whereby' air for dryingpurposes may circ'ulate'freely` 85 therethrough. The perforations 11 also serve as means through which circumferential and longitudinal strips or tapesl2 and 13 respectively Vof flexible material may be passed, said tapes being thus secured to the cylinder and serving as means to which curtains ltkmay be pinned orlotherwise attached. s
For the purpose cfdrying and stretching curtains with-ruines, I provide7 on the end of the tube l07 .an vexpande-d or conical member 91;'. l5 which is longitudinally, corrugated or luted as shovvn'in Fig. 5, and is adapted to impart al uted shape to 'any `ruffle which is dried thereon. Theco'nicalruiie drier may be rigidly secured to the tube 10 or it may be 100 Y therethrough so that the ruffle may be pinned tothetapes'. l Y Y In Figs and/TI have shown a curtain drier and stretcher composed of tWo telescopic sec- 'Y tionsV 16 andl'?V perforated fas vatlS and aIj-,A
