TOWEL RACK.
Patented Aug. 4, 1885.
UNITED STATES PATENT rrrcn.
ELI F. IVINEMAN, OF J OLIET, ILLINOIS.
TOWEL-RACK.
PSPE IEHJATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,478, dated August 4, 1885.
Application filed July 22, 1884. (No model.)
To all 2071,0122, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ELI I IVINEMAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Joliet, in the county of Vill and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use fnl Improvements in Towel-Racks, of which the following is a specification, reference be ing had therein to the accompanying dravlugs.
Figure 1 is an end view, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view, having a towel applied.
This invention consists in certain improvements in towel-racks for holding either an endless towel or an ordinary straight towel; and the improvement consists, principally, in the part for clamping and holding an ordinary straight towel.
Referring to the drawings, E represents the back board, by means of which the rack is attached to the wall, to the face of which is attached, by proper screws, the lugs A, to which the spring clamp B is pivoted at F. The spring S,inserted between the back board and one end of the clamp B, causes the oppo site end to press firmly on the apex of the lug D, between which lug and the end D of clamp B an ordinary towel may be clamped and held, as shown in Fig. 2. The upper end of the towel is represented as folded over front, so the fringe will hang over front and furnish a better place forthe clamp to grasp the towel where it is doubled, so as not to injure the towel, and for ornamentation. The lug D is rounded on its apex, while the clamp is hollowed or concave, as shown at D, Fig. 1, for the purpose of increasing the contactsnrfaecs and to render the parts less liable to injure the towel. The springelamps B are also provided with aseries of integral arms, 0 c c, for the purpose of supporting an ordinary roller, R, by means ofits journals J for the purpose of holding the endless towel T, as shown in Fig. 1. The arms a c 0 also furnish means for supporting a towel by hooking loops that may be on it on these arms. Any kind of a spring may be used other than the coil-spring shown to operate the clamp, if desired.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:
The towel-rack described, consisting of the back board, E, having the lugs A and D, (a pair at each end,) in combination with the spring-clamps B B, each pivoted centrally to a lug, A, on said back board, and each having a series of hooked arms, 0 c a", and a concave lug, D, roller B, and spring S S, located between the upper ends of said clamps and said back board, as and for the purpose set forth.
ELI F. \VINEMAN.
