TVESLEY E. LAIRD, OF MONTPELIER, VERMONT.
DEVICE FOR DRYING BOOTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,063, dated December 25, 1888.
Application filed September 13, 1886. Serial No. 213,434. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, \VEsLEY E. LAIRD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Montpelier, in the county of iVashington and State of Vermont, have invented a certain new and useful Device for Drying Moist Boots, which I call a (,ommon-Sense Boot-Drier; and I do declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 shows how the invention is designed to be used.
The object of my invention is to furnish a device by which rubber and felt boots and other similar articles can be dried quickly on the inside, and at the same time have the odor pass out of the room through the stove instead of filling the room.
My invention consists of a base from an inch to an inch and ahalf in height, (but maybe of any desired height,) made of sheetiron or tin large enough to cover one of the holes in the top of an ordinary-sized cookstove. It may be of any shape, but preferably circular, with a flat rim around the edge from one-fourth to half an inch in width. The sides of the base are drawn in, so that it issmaller at the top than at the bottom. Vihen in position it looks like a circular baking-tin, bottom side up. .In the top of this base are inserted two or more cylindrical hollow tubes about two inches in diameter or more and from two to two and one-half feet in height. These tubes may be of any desired shape or length, and for convenience there is a joint in these tubes about five or six inches above the base to which they are fastened, so that the top culate when in use from the room into the 7 inside of the boot, through the slot, and down through the hollow tube into the stove, and as it circulates it carries with it the moist vapor from the inside of the boot. This device is made to use upon a stove, and when not in use can be removed, as it is not fastened to the stove.
To use this device a moderate fire is required in the stove. Th en remove a cover from one of the holes on the top of the stove and place the device over the hole, with a boot on each tube bottom side upward. Then close the ordinary draft of the stove. i
In the drawings,A is the base. B B are the cylindrical hollow tubes. 0 is'the brace between the tubes. 01 dare the joints where the tubes can be separated. e c are the points of connection between the tubes and the base. ff are the slots in the top of the tubes, and g g are the braces which help hold the tubes firmly to the base.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the metallic tubes B B, containing slots at one end of the tubes for the admission of air, with a fiat metallic base, A, formed and adapted, as described, to fit an ordinary stovehole, as shown and described.
