1 Claim. 1
This invention relates generally to new and useful improvements in dryers for diapers and similar sheet material, and more specifically to a portable diaper dryer that can be fastened onto a wall or other vertical supporting structure.
The primary feature of the invention is to provide a diaper dryer of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture and one that can be readily folded into a small space for storing or shipping.
Another feature of the invention is to provide a diaper dryer having a vertically swingable frame that is mounted to a vertical wall attaching frame by pivoted braces, thereby allowing the swingable frame to be raised and supported in a horizontal drying position and folded downwardly against the attaching frame, when not in use.
A further important feature of the invention is to provide upwardly extending pins or the like spaced on the swingable frame for holding a large number of diapers placed thereon in a suspended position.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan of the invention with the swingable frame in a raised position.
Figure 2 is a front elevational view thereof.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view showing the swingable frame in a raised position.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken through line 4-4 in Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the swingable frame in a raised position.
Referring now to the drawings, numeral 5 represents a pair of vertical and parallel standards connected and strengthened at their upper and lower ends by upper and lower cross bars 6 and 1, so that members 5, 6 and 1 form a rectangular frame. A pair of metal hangers 8 are secured in any suitable manner to the rear of the upper cross bar 6 and near the ends of said cross bar. The upper ends of hangers 8 have holes 9 for inserting a nail, screw, or the like therein for attaching to a wall.
A second frame formed of a pair of parallel standards H! are joined at their upper and lower ends by an upper cross bar I l and lower cross bar l2 so that members H), II and I2 form a rectangular frame with the same relative area as does the frame formed by members 5, 6 and I.
A pair of hinges [3 are secured to the inner surface of cross bar I I near the ends of said bar, and the other ends of the hinges are secured to the outer surface of cross bar 6 so that the members H), II and I2 are swingable vertically, as shown in Figure 3. A pair of folding braces M are fastened in any suitable manner to the upper ends of standards 5 at l5, and the other end of braces M are fastened in any suitable manner to the upper ends of standards It) at I6, (see Fig. 5).
The front innermost edges of standards ID are rabbeted to form a shoulder I1 as shown in Figure 4, and nails or headed pins l8 are placed through the rear of standards G0 to extend outwardly through the shoulder ll.
The device is placed vertically against a supporting structure so that standards 5 and cross bars 6 and 1 rest against said structure. Nails or the like are placed in hole 9 and extend into the supporting structure. Diapers l9 are then impaled at two corners on the pins I8 and are stretched transversely between the standards III in a manner to hang therefrom, as shown in Figure 2.
The pins l8 are substantially recessed below the front surface of the standards [0 to prevent injury to persons coming into contact with the swinging frame when in its folded position.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it is believed that a clear understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A clothes drying rack comprising a substantially rectangular base frame including spaced side rails, an upper rail and a lower rail, brackets carried by the upper rail of said base frame for attaching the base frame to a supporting structure, a movable support frame including spaced side rails and end rails, one end rail of said movable frame being hinged to the upper rail of said base frame for upward and downward pivotal movement of said movable frame relative to said base frame, folding brace means connecting the base frame to the movable frame for retaining the movable frame in a raised position relative to the base frame, said movable frame being foldable against the base frame with the side rails of the movable frame opposing the side rails of the base frame, the side rails of the movable frame having rabbeted inner edges, and outwardly projecting clothes engaging pins extending from the rabbeted edges of the side rails of the movable frame, the longitudinal axis of said pins being perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the movable frame, the outer pointed extremities of said pins being substantially coplanar with the outer face of the side rails of the movable frame.
