UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE..
OLONZO R. DINSMOOR, OF AUBURN, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
llVIPROVED CLOTH ES-DRYINGv APPARATUS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 20,868, dated July 13, 1858.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OLoNZo R.D1NsMooR, of Auburn, in the count-y of Rockingham and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and useful or Improved Clothes-Drying Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the same is fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, of whicl1- Figure l is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an edge View of one of its travelers.
In the drawings, A denotes a small building or shed carrying within it a large grooved wheel B, such being arranged therein and supported by a post C, as shown in Figui. In practice I make this wheel about tive inches in diameter. Around this wheel and two other grooved Wheels D E, arranged at about eighteen inches apart from one another and carried by a lever F, an endless clothes-line extends, it being led through a doorway or the window- `opening` of the building A and carried to any convenient distance from the point of starting. In other Words, the supporting contrivance or p ost H of the leverF is to be disposed at such dist-ance from the shed A as may be most convenient, wherever the clothes-line apparatus is to be set up. This post I-l has a bar I extending from it at right angles and The lever F turns on a pin or fulcrum Z), inserted through it and the post. By means of such lever the line may be drawn tight when clothes are hung on it or preparatory to its receiving any clothes. This endless line carries one or more travelers K, each of which consists of a block c, carrying a pulley d within a space e, formed in and through the block. The lower part of the recess has a passage f opening out of one side of the block. It also opens into a wedge-shaped recess g, formed and arranged in the block, as shown in the iigures.
The object of each traveler is to so connect the lower horizontal part t' of the endless clothes-line with the upper horizontal part as to enable the latter to aid in supporting the former or to cause both to support the clothes wh en they are placed on the lower one.
In applying clothes to this improved drying apparatus a person remains Within the building A, and while there puts each article of clothing on the lower part t' of the endless line. After each piece of clothinghas been .put on the person lays hold of the line and revolves it lon its wheels, so as to move the piece of clothing toward the stretching lever or apparatus. As often as may be necessary, and while so putting the clothes on the line, a traveler K is to be applied to the line by introducing the upper and lower parts 7s t' within the passage f, and not only carrying-the upper. half k of the line against the periphery of the roller, but its lower part into the recess g. The strain on the line will cause the lower parte to bind closely in the wedge-sl1aped recess, and thereby so iix the traveler to the line as to cause the said traveler to move with theclothes as they are successively projected toward the stretching apparatus.
Vith my invention a clothes-line can be extended to any distance and at any desirable elevation and have clothes applied to it or removed from it by a person entirely under cover or unexposed. This is the great and important advantage of my invention.
l. The combination of the endless clothesline, the sheltering shed or building, and the stretching apparatus, the whole being made to operate substantially as specified.
2. Combining one or more travelers K with the endless clothes-line applied to a building, and a stretching apparatus, and constructed so as so operate essentially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature.
OLONZO R. DINSMOOR.
