1937. J. A. BILLINGSLEY 2,098,853
CLOTHES DRIER Filed March 8, 1937 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 9, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to a clothes drier and has for the primary object the provision of a portable and inexpensive device of this character which will efliciently and rapidly dry clothes and I which is so constructed that a maximum number of pieces of clothing can be accommodated therein and easily removed when desired.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a vertical sectional view illustrating a clothes dryer constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the device open and adjusted to have clothing placed on or removed from racks forming a part of the invention.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view showing grouping of the racks within the cabinet of the 25 device.
Figure 4 is a front elevation illustrating the device with the door in an open position.
Figure is a side elevation illustrating one of the racks.
Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 1.
Figure '7 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 1-1 of Figure 3.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral I indicates a cabinet mounted on rollers 2 whereby the device may be conveniently moved from one place to another. The cabinet is made in sections which are joined together as shown at 2'. The front wall of the cabinet has a doorway 3 closed by a door 4 hinged to the front wall and provided with a suitable latch for retaining the door in a closed position. Suitably mounted on the inner face of the door is a receptacle 5 having an opening 6 which may be opened and closed by a door 1. The receptacle 5 is adapted to contain a liquid for furnishing desired or necessary moisture in drying clothes preparatory for ironing. .When moisture is not desired the door is closed. The bottom wall has a comparatively large opening over which is positioned a false bottom 8 having a series of openings 9. Overlying the openings 9 and mounted on the false bottom 8 is a plurality of electrical heating units l0 connected into an electric circuit H. The electric circuit includes a control switch II, a plug it and a thermostat ll. The plug I3 is employed for connecting the circuit II to a house circuit and the thermostat I automatically controls the temperature within the cabinet and may be readily adjusted so that the temperature can be varied. Positioned over the heating units I0 is a screen I! to prevent articles placed in the cabinet from coming in direct contact with the units but which will permit an even distribution of heated air upwardly through the cabinet. Connected to the upper portion of the cabinet is a suction fan l5 including an exhaust pipe l6 for carrying off air from the cabinet and bringing about a complete circulation of heated air in the cabinet. While the cabinet has been described as being heated by electrical means, it may be heated by gas burners if desired.
Pairs of supporting rails it are mounted in the upper portion of the cabinet above the doorway and the rails of each pair are disposed in superimposed relation. Blocks Hare slidable upon the pairs of rails and are movable between the front and rear walls of the cabinet. Racks l8 are detachably secured to the blocks I! and are movable into and out of the cabinet by way of the doorway 3. Each rack is of substantially rectangular shape and-is composed of a plurality of spaced members 19 on which may be suspended clothing or similar articles. The racks at their inner ends have formed thereon hook-shaped elements 20 received in openings of the blocks l1 and retained in said openings by set bolts 2|; Engageable with the forward portion of the racks are hooks 22 carried by the cabinet to cooperate with the blocks H in slidably supporting the racks. Legs 23 are hinged to the racks and may be positioned to parallel said racks when not in use and retained in said positions by clips 2i. However, when the racks are moved outwardly of the cabinet the legs are freed and permitted to come in engagement with the support to aid in supporting the racks and relieving the load upon the blocks I1.
A device of the character described is economithe like or for receiving soiled clothing prior to washing.
What is claimed is:
