May 26, 1942. s. H. HAMMAR CLOTHESLINE SUPPORT Filed Nov. 5, 1959 Patented May 26, 3942 p CLOTHES surroa'r t Samuel H. Hammer, Stambaugh, Mich. Application November 3, 1939, Serial No. 302,755
1 Claim.
This invention relates to clothes line supports andhas for its object to provide a comparatively simple and thoroughly emcie'nt device of the character described, by means of which a series of clothes lines may be conveniently supported in elevated position to permit drying of clothes thereon.
A further object of the invention is to provide a clothes line support comprising spaced uprights having their lower ends anchored in the ground and-their upper ends provided with cross arms having hooks extending therefrom for engagement witha clothes line, there being a receptacle mounted on one of said uprights and adapted to receive clothes pins.
A further object is to provide means for detachably connecting the uprights with the anchoring members and means on one or both of the uprights for supporting a clothes prop.
A still further object of the invention is generally to improve this class of devices so as to increase their utility, durability and efiiciency.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing: 1
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a clothes line support constructed in accordance with the present invention,
Figure 2 isan end elevation showing the manner of supporting a clothes prop on one of the uprights of the support,
Figure 3 is a detail vertical sectional view showing the manner of detachably connecting the uprights with the anchoring members,
Figure 4-is a side elevation of the lower portion of one of the uprights showing the bifurcated end thereof for engagement with the adjacent anchoring member, and
Figure 5' is a detail perspective view showing the manner of supporting a plurality of clothes props on the standard of the supporting frame.
The improved clothes line support forming the subject-matter of the present invention comprises spaced uprights 5 and 8 preferably formed of metal tubing and each provided at its upper end with a horizontal cross arm I. Extending inwardly from the cross arms I are hooks 8, and engaging said hooks are one or more clothes lines, indicated at 9. The lower ends of the uprights 5 and 6 are embedded in the ground, as indicated at l0, and each upright is preferably provided with a transverse anchoring pin II, also embedded in the ground, as shown, so as to form a firm anchorage for the device.
The upright 5 is provided near its lower end with a substantially conical shaped cup 12 adapted to receive the adjacent pointed end of a clothes is a loop or eye M which encircles the adjacent portion of the clothes prop i3 and serves to retain the clothes prop in position on the upright until it is desiredto use the prop.
In operation, the clothes are suspended from the line 9 and elevated to the desired position by means of the clothes prop l3. When the clothes prop is not in use, said proper is fastened in' position on the upright 5 by means of the cup I! and eye it, as previously stated. Secured to the upright 6 is a box or receptacle I5 adapted to receives clothes pins so as to have the clothes pins handy at all times.
In Figures 3 and 4 of the drawing, there is illustrated a modified form of the invention, in which the uprights are detachably secured to the anchoring members. In this form of the device, the anchoring members It are embedded in the ground or in a suitable concrete base i! with their upper ends normally projecting above the surface of the ground to form vertical extensions l8 having pins l9 extending transversely therethrough. The lower ends of the uprights are enlarged to form sockets 20, the walls of which are provided with transversely alined slots 2i adapted to receive the pins i9 and thus prevent tuming movement of the sockets on the anchoring members while at the same time permitting the uprights to be readily lifted ofi the extensions it when desired. The cross arms i are preferably detachably secured to the uprights bymeans of clamping screws 22 so that by removing the clamping screws 22 the cross arms may be readily detached therefrom and the whole device compactly folded for transportation or shipment.
In Figure 5 of the drawing, the cup is shown entirely encircling the upright or standard, as
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A clothes line support comprising an anchor- I ing block, a' pole having its lower end enlarged to form a socket detachably resting on the anchoring block and having its side walls provided with transversely alined slots opening through the lower end of said socket, an anchoring member prop, indicated at it, and spaced from the cup l2 having its lower end embedded in the block and its upper end fitting within the socket, and a transverse pin carried by the anchoring member and engaging the walls of said 'slots.
