WILSON CURTAIN STRETCHER AND RUG DRIER Filed March 20, 1929 2 She ets-Sheet 2 In venior (7E our/e Z W/VM/y A ttomell Patented Dec. 29, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JESSIE n WILSON, or AKRON, 01110 CURTAIN STRETCHER AND RUG DRIER Application filed March 20, 1929. Serial No. 348,638. r
With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the descrip-.
tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation of the apparatus in use,
Figure 2 is an edge elevation thereof,
Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view 'of the clamp plate open, 7 r
Figure I is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1,
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 1, but with V the weight omitted and with the rug omitted,
Figure 6 is a perspective view showing one of the combination hook and loop elements in engagement with a pair of clamp plates.
Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that I provide two pairs of elongated rectangular clamp plates 5. Numerals 6 denote a plurality of combined hooks and rings formed from a single strand of wire having a straight body a merging at one end into a hook b and at the other end into curved ringlike portion terminating into an inwardly directed arm d.
The ring portion a hingedly connects the clamp plates together and the clamp plates are held in engagement with the edges of a rug or curtain 8 by means of spring clips 9 of conventional formation.
The hook I) of the upper members 6 may be engaged over a wire, rod or other suitable support 10 while the hooks depending from the lower pair of clamp plates are engaged by hangers 11 of weight elements 12 for the purpose of stretching the curtain, rug or the like.
From the above detailed description it will be seen that I have devised an exceedingly simple structure which is easy to manipulate, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, and thoroughly eiiicient and reliable in thepurpose for which it is intended.
' The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in considerable .detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. 7
It will be apparent that changes in'the details of construction, and in the combination I and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope ofthe; invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of'its advantages.
Having'thus described my invention, what 7 I claim as new is:
A device of the class described comprising upper and lower pairs of plates, means for movably connecting together the plates of each pair, such means comprising a number of members each formed from a single strand of wire shaped to provide a straight part with a hook at one end thereof and the other end curved into a substantially ring-shaped part terminating in an inwardly directed arm, the ringlike part passing through holes in the pair of plates with the hooks of the members on the upper pair of plates adapted to engage a supporting member and the hooks on the members in the lower pair of plates adapted to support weights and means for clamping-the pairs of plates to an article to be stretched.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
JESSIE E. WILSON.
