UNITED STATES PATENT -OFFICE.
CHARLES H. DELANOY, JR, OF NEW YORK, N.- Y.
TOWEL-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336.704, dated February 23, 1886.
' Application filed July 23, 1885. Serial No.172,425. (Model) To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. DELANOY, J r.,of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Towel- Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a towel-holder of such simple construction and arrangement that it can be cheaply manufactured, and which will be effective in operation.
The invention consists in the special construction and combination of parts as hereinafter described and .claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of one of my improved towel-holders. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, part being broken away. Fig. 3 isasectional front elevation of the drum and showing the axle partly in side elevation and partly in section.
A represents a flanged drum, madein two parts riveted or otherwise secured to each other. The drum is mounted on an axle, B, havingjournals on its ends, which form shoulders, as shown, to keep the axle in place. Within the drum A, and on its inner surface, is secured one end of a coiled spring, 0, the other end of the spring being secured to the axle B. On the outer surface of the drum A is attached the end of a cord, D, which is wound upon the said drum in such adirection that the unwinding of the said cord will turn the drum in the direction to coil up the spring 0, so that when the cord D is released the elasticity of the spring will turn the drum A in the opposite direction, thus winding up the cord D. It will be readily seen that the spring, being completely inclosed in the drum, is protected from all dust and dirt that would hinderits easy working. The flanges of the drum prevent the cord from slipping ofl. The ends of a wire bail, E, are bent inward and inserted in sockets in the ends of the axle B, so that the drum can revolve without interfering with the bail, and through a central eye of the bail is passed the cord D, the bail thereby serving as a guide to keep the cord in place as it is being wound upon and unwound from the drum A. On the free end of the cord is secured a suitable hook or clasp, F, for securing the towel to the cord.
To suspend the drum from a nail, hook, or
other support, I provide a bail, G, formed with an eye to receive the nail or hook. The ends of the suspension-bail Grare passed through holes in the projecting journals of the axle'B, and are bent over to firmly hold the said axle and prevent its turning.
I am aware that spring-drums are old in numerous devices to return a cord or chain to a case, such as in tape-measure cases, suspension-la'rnps, &c., but none of such devices are adapted to my purpose. Besides their constructions are cumbersome and expensive. My devicecomprises but few parts, and I do away with allpawls and ratchets, and thereby materially reduce the expense of the device.
I am also aware that a guide-eye to guide a cord while being wound upon or unwound from a spool or drum is not broadly new, and I do not claim such as my invention.
By the combination and arrangement of parts as above described Ihave produced a neat and inexpensive device that can be cheaply and easily put together and is not liable to get out of order.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Atowel-holder comprising the flanged drum A, made in two parts and mounted onthe shouldered axle B, the coiled spring 0 within the drum, the ends of said spring being secured, respectively, to the inner surface of the drum and to the axle, the cord D, provided on its end with a hook or clasp, F, the bail E, pivoted in the ends of the axle and provided with a guide-eye for the cord D, and the suspension-bail G, the ends of which pass through holes in the j ournals of the axle B and are bent over the same to hold it firmly and prevent its turning with the drum, all as shown and described.
