o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H.

and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved clothes-fork with a section removed from the handle or staff. Fig. 2 is a front v elevation, partly in section, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same.
Corresponding' parts in the several gures are denoted by like letters.
The object of my invention is to provide a has firmly secured upon its lower end a metal ferrule, a, having a disk or flange, af, its pur- Y pose being to prevent the running of the hot water, when removing the clothes from the boiler, down the handle upon the hands or dropping on't-he stove, and to turn its course back into the boiler.
Driven in or otherwise suitably fastened to the ferruled end of the staff or handle A is a two-timed fork. B, preferably made of galvanized malleable iron, and having its tines curved in opposite direction to form a broad bearing or pressing surface, as clearly shown in the drawings. An eye or staple, C,is placed in the upper end of the staff A, so that it can be hung on a nail or hook. v
When the clothes are to be taken from the boiler the fork is inserted into them and a turn given to it, which causes the clothes to adhere, when they can be held up to drain and be removed from the boiler.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
As a new article of manufacture, a clothesfork consisting of the staff A, having the flanged ferrule a. a', and fork B, having tines b b', substantially as shown and described, and as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
