SAFETY EXTENSION FOR CLOTHESLINES Filed Aug. 27, 1929" QZQZ [ ATM Patented Nov. 10, 1931 OTTO PRANTE, or NOETHZBERGEN, NE W YORK SAFETY EXTENSION non c orHnsLINns Application filed August 27, 1929. Serial'No. 388,812. r
This invention relates to a clothes line support and more particularly to what I term a safety extension for clothes lines which has for its primary object to provide a novel and improved construction attachable to a window frame outside the window sashes and capable of being swung within a room when the bottom sash is raised to enable the clothes to be attached to the line within the room and thus prevent the danger of falling through the window.
' One of the objects of my invention is to provide a line supporting device consisting of a pair of pulleys mounted on a pivoted extension bar, one end of which is capable of being set to a position at right angles to the lower window sash whereby one end of said support bar and a pulley will be within the room proper whereby the clothes may be fastened to the line and moved outwardly through the window thus preventing accidents incident to hanging heavy clothes.
To enable others skilled in the art to more fully comprehend my invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which Fig.- 1 is a side view showing my invention attached to the outside of a window frame.
Fig. 2 is a detail view partly insection showing the stationary bracket and the pivot or shaft supporting the extension rod.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing an extension rod in a second position, and extending within the room proper.
Fig. 4 is a detail view partly in section showing the pulley and its mountings.
Referring now to the drawings, 5 designates the outside casing of a window frame having the usual top and bottom sliding sashes 6, 7. Attached to the outside wall surface 8 of the window frame is a fiat bracket 9 having screw or nail holes 10 whereby said bracket may be permanently fastened to the wall surface 8. Extending inwardly and at right angles to the bracket 9 and preferably formed integral therewith is a shaft bearing 11. 'Extending through the bearing is a stub shaft 12 provided with I a Washer 13 and a cotter 14. Onthereduced end 15 of the stub shaft there is pivotally supported intermediate its ends an elongated I extension bar '16 preferably of wood or light metal." Spacer washers 17, 18 and a lock nut19 securely fastens the bar on the reduced end of the stub shaft as clearly shown by Fig. 2 of the drawings. Adjacent each end of'the extension bar, apulley. bracket 20 extending, through recesses 21 in the bottom of said bar supports a conven tional type of pulley 22 about which the clothes line 23 is trained, the opposite ends of said line being of course', attached to the outside clothesline pole and pulley (not shown). 'Each'pulley bracket is held secure at each'end byja removable'pin' or screw 24. Referring-particularly to'Fig. 2it will be noted that above the bearing there is pro vided a'horizontal,stationary stop pin Below the bearingl'lafrecess 26 is cutfto receive the tapered end of a. removablestop pin 27,, the function and purpose of which, in connection with the bar 16 will 'now'be explained. Referring particularly to 3, it will be noted' -that when the .bar 16 is in its horizontal position, it may move only slightly between the stop pin 25 and the removable stop pin27, when theclothes are beinghung from a positionw'ith the room. When the clothes "has been "hung on the line,
; and it is desired to close the lower sash, the
While I have shown and describedmy invention with some degree-of particularity, it will be realized that other modifications and changes may be resorted to under special conditions. I therefore do not wish to be limited and restricted to the exact details m shown and describeclbut reserve the right to make such changes and modifications as may fairly fall within the scope of the subject matter now being claimed.
Having-shown and described my invention, 7
what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A clothes line support comprising a bracket attachable to the outside of a window frame, said bracket having a bearing formed therewith and at right angles thereto, a stub shaft in said bearing, an elongated extension rod mounted on one end of the shaft, two stop pins mounted in said bracket'and disposed parallel to said stub shaft thereabove and therebelow said pins extending stationarily and removably, respectively, into said bracket, their free ends limiting the movement of the rod and pulleys mounted on the ends of the rod for supporting a clothes line.
2. A clothes line support comprising in combination with a bracket, a clothes line supporting rod with substantially parallel upper and lower edges, and a stub shaft extending from said bracket and rotatably supporting said rod in a fulcrum between said edges, two stop pins mounted in said bracket extending from the surfacethereof, above and below said fulcrumin the direction in which said stub shaft extends from said bracket, saidpins beinglaterally displaced from said fulcrum at a distance substantially equal to the'distance of said fulcrum from said upper edge of said rodandsaid lower pin being vertically disnlacedfrom said fulcrum at adistance substantially equal to the distance of said fulcrum from said lower edge of said rod. g
' 3. A clothes line support compri ing in combination with a bracket. a clothes line supporting rod withsubstantiallv parallel upper and lower edges. and a stubshaft ex-' tending from said bracket and rotatably supporting said rod in a fulcrum between saidedges, two stop pins mounted in said bracket extending from the surface thereof, above and below said fulcrum, in the direction in which said stub shaft extends from said bracket, said pins being laterally displacedfrom said fulcrum at a distance substantially equal to the distance of said fulcrum from said upper edgeof said rod and said lower pin being detachable from said'bracket and vertically displaced from said fulcrum at a distance substantially equal to the distance of dsaid fulcrum from said lower edgeof said In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
