CONVERTIBLE AND PORTABLE WARDROBE AND CLOTHES DRIER I Filed July 24, 1935 Patented June 4, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONVERTIBLE AND PORTABLE WARDROBE AND CLOTHES DRIER Dorothy Beale Cleveland, Los .Angeles, Calif. Application July 24, 1933, Serial No. 681,949
2 Claims. (01. 31z 5 lapsible metal frame and provided with a detach- 5 able cloth or fabric covering.
The main object of the improvement is to provide a very simple clothes drier frame that may, at the convenience of the user be quickly con- 10 to the frame a protecting covering, made in a 15 converted back into and may be used as a light above a stove or other heat-producing agency. One form of the invention is illustrated in the 20 accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 1s a perspective view of my device used as a Wardrobe.
Figure 2 is a View of my improved frame as arranged to be used as a clothes drier.
55 Figure 3 is similar to Figure 2 but showing in dotted lines two additional positions of the frame.
Figure 4 shows the frame folded up for packing or storing.
My invention in its completely assembled form s illustrated in Figure 1 consists of two parts namely, a light collapsible wire frame I 0 and a plain curtaln or covering I I adapted to be buttoned or otherwise secured to the frame to form therewith a dust proof enclosure to acommodate clothing or other articles that require protection.
side of which is hingedly secured a U-shaped member I5 with its supporting hook I6 and hav-' ing in each of its corners bars 20 to which are connected the supporting arms 2| having at their up into a compact form as shown in Figure 4. Whether used as a wardrobe or as a drier the device is primarily intended to be hung on a nail or hook with the frame member I5 against a fiat surface such as a wall or door.
As will be seen from a study of Figure 1 the curtain or covering I I of the wardrobe consists forwardly projecting flap 3| which extends over the top of the frame I0 to form a dust proof top for the enclosure. The curtain and flap are pro- 22 the points of which in this instance are on the under side of the supporting arms 2|. When converted into a clothes drier the cover is remay be placed in a narrow space if desired.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the entire clothes drier collapsed into a flat, compact body when not in use and in convenient form for handling or packing in a suitcase, trunk or other receptacle for use in traveling or transportation. This is made possible by the loose knuckle-joints between the parts which permits the parts to collapse and fold into proper position to convert the entire clothes drier into the fiat, compact and convenient form herein shown without dissembling or removing any of the parts thereof.
I am aware that prior to my invention portable wardrobes and portable clothes driers have been made with suspending hooks, frames and coverings therefor. I therefore do not claim such a combination broadly; but
I claim:
1. A collapsible, traveling wardrobe consisting of a clothes drier and a curtain, said clothes drier comprising two hinged frames and means for detachably holding the frames at right angles to each other whereby one frame may rest against and be supported on a wall and the other frame be held in horizontal position, said curtain compris ing a single sheet having a centrally positioned flap at its top edge, and means for closing the two side edges to form a tube surrounding the horizontal frame of the clothes drier, said flap resting upon said horizontal frame and separable fasteners for securing together the sides of the flap and the sides of the curtains.
2. The device of claim 1 in which the horizontal frame has an outer edge formed of a wire rod, said centrally positioned flap extends beyond said outer edge whereby its margin may be folded over the'rod, and said means for detachablyholding the frames at right angles consist of arms pivotally secured to the vertical frame and having at their free ends spring hooks adaptable to fit over said folded margin and its enclosed rod in the manner of clothes pins whereby to hold said flap and said curtain more securely to the frame.
