1 Claim.
The present invention relates to improvements in clothesline hanger devices.
An object of the invention is the provision of a clothesline hanger of generally improved design.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a clothesline hang-er which facilitates the attachment of clothes and the like on a line.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a clothesline hanger which is adjustable.
Still another object of the invention is .the provision of a clothesline hanger which is capable of arrangement in such position as to enable attachment of clothes on an outside line from within a building.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a hanger of the above character which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction and which can be readily mounted in operative position.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description progresses.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view showing the improved hanger device associated with a clothesline assembly,
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hanger in operative position,
Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the same,
Figure 4 is a side elevational view of the same with a window in section,
Figure 5 is an enlarged section taken on the line 55 of Figure 3,
Figure 6 is a similar section taken on the line 66 of Figure 3,
Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line 'I'! of Figure 5, and
Figure 8 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line 8-8 of Figure 5.
Referring to the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, W designates a window of conventional construction mounted in the usual manner in the wall of a building.
Adapted for connection with the frame of the window W, preferably in a transversely extending position at its centre portion, is a support member S preferably in the form of an extensible bar having telescopically associated sections III and I I. Each of these sections is formed with an apertured ear I2 at one end adapted for connection with the window frame through the medium of fastening screws I3.
On the support bar S is mounted a connection fitting F embodying a pair of sockets, in the present example sleeves, I5 and I6 arranged one beside the other with their axes disposed perpendicularly. The sleeve I5 is formed at its outer side with a boss I! having an interiorly threaded opening designed to engage the threaded shank of a set screw I8 preferably formed with an enlarged knurled head. It is also advantageous that the interior of the sleeve be formed with a recess I9 designed to accommodate therein an arcuate detachable pad member 20 adapted to be disposed between the inner end of the set screw I8 and the support bar, as shown to advantage at Figures 6 and 8.
As shown in the drawings the sleeve I5 of the fitting is adapted to be rotatably fitted on the exterior rod section III, preferably toward one end of the rod, and is restrained against axial movement by annular collars 22 releasably secured in selected positions on the support by means of set screws 23. These collars are to be positioned against each end of the sleeve I5 so as to enable rotary adjustment thereof and prevent sliding movement of the sleeve.
In the complementary fitting sleeve I6 is secured a holder member H, preferably in the form of a straight rigid bar having the centre portion tightly fitted in the sleeve and having formed at each end a hook 25. Thus, the member I-I provides an arm having hooked ends adapted to engage the frames 26 of a pair of rollers 21.
In one form of assembly the device carries a pulley 21 at each end of the arm over which is trained a continuous or endless clothesline 28, the line also being trained over a remote pulley 29 fastened to a support element disposed at some distance from the window. When clothes or other articles are to be fastened on or removed from the line, the arm H is turned from its normally vertical position about the axis of the support bar to an oblique position with the lower end portion extending inwardly through the lower part of the window, as shown to advantage at Figures 2 and 4, the arm being secured in this arrangement by the set screw I8. This arrangement of the hanger disposes a portion of the lower reach of the line 28 partly within the building so that clothes may be conveniently attached thereto or removed without reaching outwardly of the window or other opening. At other times, as for instance when the clothes have been attached to the line, the arm is disposed in an 2 approximately vertical position, as shown at Figure 1, the set screw being loosened and thereafter tightened to effect this adjustment and to firmly hold the arm in position.
It is to be understood that the form of our invention herein shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes as to the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without eparting from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described our invention, we claim:
In a clothesline hanger of the character described, wherein an endless clothesline is trained over pulleys swinging around a central fulcrum point, a transverse extensible horizontal support adapted to be permanently secured to a window frame, a fitting rotatably fitted on said horizontal support, the said fitting having an integral sleeve for receiving a tube at right angles to the support and offset to the plane of said support, a locking thumb-screw on said fitting, a support-engaging key inside the fitting and engageable by the thumb screw, a tube disposed in the fitting sleeveand secured thereto, a hook at each end of the tube, and a pulley engaged in each hook over which pulleys a clothesline is trained.
