SPECIFICATION .forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,296, dated June 27, 1882.
Appnanon mea March 31,1882. (No model.)
To all 'whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. HoUD LETTE, of Saginaw, in the county of Saginaw and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes- Reels; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichfit pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to clothes-driers, and more particularly to that class of driers known as clothes-reels,77 the object being to` provide a clothes-reel of such construction that the rcel proper may be raised and lowered upon its supporting-standard with as little effort as possible on the part of the operator, and also to furnish a device which will be simple and economical in its construction.
The invention consists in the combination, with the standard and vertically-adjustable reel, of lever-arms, cords, and operating-reels and gear-wheels of the construction hereinafter described. l
The invention further consists in the details of construction and combinations of parts pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement. Fig.'2 is a plan view ofthe same, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal lsection on the linexx of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the sliding sleeve.
A represents the standard of the reel, supported by anysuitable base,B. The standard is preferably rectangular in cross-section from its base to a point approximating one-fourth of its height,while the remaining portion is of cylindrical form.A The upper edge of the rectangular portion of the standard is cut away to form a shoulder, a, upon which restsa frame, C, consisting of the parallel bars o and o', proend beyond the standard, and thebarsdd, connecting thebarsoo'. This frame is rigidly secured to the standard by screws or otherwise, and the projecting ends ofthe bars c and o are perforated to form bearings for the journals of cord-reels Dand D. One of the journals, e, of the reel I) is headed to secure it in place, while upon the opposite journal of said reel is mounted a gearwheel, E, adapted to mesh with a similar gear-wheel, E', of the reel D. Upon the opposite journal ofthe latter is mounted a toothed pinion, F, with which a gravitypa`wl,f, pivoted to the bar o', is adapted to engage. Upon the projecting journal c2 of the reel D is mounted a crank, Gr.
. H representsv a sleeve adapted to slideupon the standard A, and provided at its upper edge with an annular ange, I, formed at a right angle to the sleeve. The flange I is provided with slots or depressions t, within which are journaled anti-friction rollers J Ihe sleeve H is also provided with two laterally-projecting perforated lugs or brackets K, arranged diametrically opposite each other,V and each adapted to receive the inner end of a lever, L. The latter are pvoted to said lugs by pivots l, and extend outwardly on either side of the standard A.
M M represent brackets, secured by screws m to the standard at diametrically-opposite points and in the same vertical plane with the lugs K of the sleeve slightly above the reels D and D. Within each of these brackets is pivoted by pivots n a pair of braces, N, the opposite' ends of the latter embracing and being pivoted lo the levers L at a point on the inner side of the center of the latter.
To the outer end of each of the levers L is secured a cord, O, the opposite end of whichA is secured to the adjacent reel D and D. A collar, P, is secured upon the standard A below the sleeve H to limit the downward movement of the sleeve.
Q represents the reel proper,having the hub R adapted to slide upon the standard A, and provided at its lower edge with an annular ange, S, adapted to bear upon the anti-friction rollers J of the flange I-and the radial bearings S', adapted to receive arms T, the latter being perforated to receive the series of clothes-lines U. l
Upon the upper end of the standard A is secured a' cap, V, which gives a finished appearance to the device, and also prevents the removal of the reel Q.
By'the construction thus described the. reel .Q may belowered to the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1, and after the clothes are hung on the lines Uthe reel is raised by turning the crank G, which winds the cords upon the reels D and D' IOO and draws down the outer end of the levers, which are fulcrumed on the braces N. By this means a great leverage is obtained and the labor incident to raising the reel is materially lessened. The pawl f engages with the pinion F to prevent the reels D and D from unwinding. The friction-rollers J of the sleeve aii'ord a bearingfor the reel which may be freely revolved thereon.
It will be apparent that many slight changes in the details of construction of my improvement may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention. Hence I would have it understood that I reserve to myself the right to make all such changes and modifications in the form and construction of my device as may properly fall Within the scope of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I .claim aslnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the standard and the-reel adapted to receive the clothes, of a sliding sleeve arranged below said reel and provided with levers pivoted in lugs of said sleeve, and fulcrurned on braces pivoted in z5 brackets of the standard, the outer ends of said levers being connected by cords to Winding-reels, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with the standard having the colla-r l? and shoulder a, of the frame 3o C, secured upon said shoulder and supporting the cord-reels D and D', the gear-Wheels E and E', toothed pinion F, pawl f, and crank G, the clothes-rcel Q, sliding sleeve H, levers L, braces N, and cords O, substantially as set 35 forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
GEORGE W. HOUD'LETIE.
