CLOTHES-RACK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,655, dated October 30, 1883.
` nppueauon mea March 2,1383. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern: y
Be it known that I, JOHN H.V FRENCH, a .citizen of the United States, residing at Northampton, in the county of Hampshire and State y 5 of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lClothes-Racks for Laundry, Kitchen, and Bedroom Use, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a combination of 1o arms or rods withl a frame-work or holder to keep the rods in proper position, both when the rods are l open for use and when they are closed and not in use. x n
' The objects of my improvements are, first, to make a clothes-rack (on which to hang clothes and other articlesV for drying) with arms or rods that may be supported securely in a horizontal position, and readily, 'conven iently, and securely dropped or closed very 2o compaotly when not in use; second, to so combine the-several parts that the clothesrack will occupy the least space Consistent with convenience, both when the rods are open and when they are closed; and, third, to make the rods and holder of such form that when they are connected they cannot be separated unintentionally, and thusto prevent the displacement, removal, or loss of the rods.l I attain these objects in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figures I and II are views of vertical sections of the Clothes-rack. Figs. III and IV are views in perspective of the metallic frame and collar of the holder, and Fig. V is a View in perspective of a clothes-rack with the metallic frame and collar in combination and three `rods in place in the holder, ready for use.
Similar letters refer to similar parts of the live views.
a represents the arms or rods on which articles are Suspended, and b represents the knobs or stops at or nearthe' ends vof the arms. These stops prevent the rods from being drawn entirely ont of the holder when they are opened for use, and from dropping entirely out of the holder when they are closed.
c represents openingsor slots in the metallic parts through which the arms or rods are 5o moved in opening and closing them, and
which, by their forms, in combination with the knobs or Stops on the rods, prevent the rods from being unintentionally removed from these slots or sockets.
d represents a groove in the under surface of the top of the holder, suited in shape to the stops on the inner or lower end of the rods. When a rod is opened for use, the lowerfstop fits into this groove, as shown at d, Figs. I and V. l
The rods,Figs. I,'II, and V, arerreadily put into place by passing them upthrough the openings in the edge or rim of the holder c, Fig. III, and suspending them by the up- Y per stop` inv the openings or slots in the top of 6 5 the holder. Then, placing the collar, Fig. IV, in its place on the rim of the holder, Fig. III, as shown in Fig. V, the rods are securely kept in the holder, and cannot be removed from it without first removing the collar. This collar prevents the removal of the rods from the clothes-rack unintentionally, and it -also supports the rods' firmly in proper position when they arev opened for use., The forms of these holders may be quarter-circles for cornersand wash-stands, semicircles for a straight wall, and circles with standards for portable use, or of any convenient form andr Size to suit the requirements under which they are to be used. The rods -may be oylin drical, oval, flat, square, or of any other shape best suited'to their use.
I am aware that prior to my invention clothes-racks have been made with rods supported in metallic holders, and suspended from the same by staples, forming a kind V.of sliphinge on which the rodsturn up or hang down when not in use. I therefore do not claim such a combination, broadly; but
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- I. The combination, with a notched bracket-plate, o d, and with detachable arms having enlarged headsat either end formed integral therewith, of a notched detachable rim fitted upon said bracket to re-enforce the same, close or lock its notches outwardly, and confine thel arms inserted therein, and means for securing the bracket-plate and rim together, substantially in the manner and for the pur- Ioo pose herein set forth.
2. The combination, with a notched bracket-plate, c d, and a notched detachable rim Woll as its horizontal support therein, substanitted thereon to re-eufoice and close the slots tially in the manner and for the purpose herein 1o outwardly, of arms provided with heads I) b, set forth.
