TOWEL RACK.
No. 461,446. Patented Oct. 20, 1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN A. MURRAY, OF \VINOHESTER, ASSIGNOR TO FREEMAN A. VALKER, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
TOWEL- RACK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 461,446, dated October'20, 1891.
Application filed March 10, 1891- Serial No. 334,450. (No model.)
To all whom it vrmy cancer/2,:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. MURRAY, of \Vinchester, in the county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Towel Horses or Racks, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved towel-horse; Fig. 2, an end elevation of the same; Fig. 3, an enlarged elevation of one of the joints, and Fig. 4 a vertical transverse section of the same.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
My invention relates especially to portable metallic towel-horses; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, the object being to produce a simpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character than is now in ordinary use.
The nature and operation of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation:
In the drawings, A represents the horse considered as a whole, said horse comprising two end standards I), mounted on feet d and connected by horizontal brace-rods f. At the top of each standard an ornamental head g is arranged vertically, said heads being provided with any suitable number of curved pendent arms h. The arms and tops of opposite heads g are connected by rack-rods 2'.
The horse is preferably constructed of brass tubing, in which wooden mandrels j are disposed, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
The peculiarity of my invention consists in the method of securing the racks andbrace-rods to the standards. On said standards sleeves 7c are mounted, said sleeves having a horizontal opening, one month of which is countersunk, as at m in Fig. 4. A screwp has a metallic socket q, inclosing its head 1", said socket being of a size suitable to receive an end of the brace-rod f, which may be brazed or otherwise secured therein. The outer face of the socket is beveled to enter the countersunk mouth of the sleeve 70. The screw 19 is passed through the sleeve 76 and through a suitable opening 25 in the standard, an ornamental nut 12 being turned onto its outer end and rigidly :securing'said braces to said standards. Said nuts are provided with tool-holes w. The socket q, sleeves 7t, and nuts o are constructed of the same material as the standards and rods. The arms of the head g are provided with hollow lugs 50, which correspond in shape with the sleeves k, and the racks iare mounted therein in the same manner as the braces f. By this construction the horse may readily be knocked down for storage and quickly set up again without danger of marring the material.
In horses of this class, as ordinarily con structed, the racks and braces are soldered or otherwise secured firmly to the end standards, rendering them awkward to store and greatly liable to injury in transportation.
The peculiar shape of the sockets and sleeves imparts a'finish to the joint which is notattainable without great labor and expense when the braces and racks are secured to the end standards in the ordinary way.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is 1. In a knockdown I towel-horse, tubular end standards, in combination with countersunk sleeves or hollow lugs mounted thereon, horizontal rack rails, screw bolts having heads with outwardlyopening sockets secured to the ends of said rails and their shanks passing through said lugs and standards, and nuts turned onto said bolts, substantially as described.
2. A joint for securing the rack-rails and braces to the end standards of a portable towel-horse comprising a two-way sleeve attachable to said standards and provided with a conical countersunk mouth, a screw-bolthaving at its outer end a head socketed for receiving said racks and beveled at its inner end to enter said mouth, and a nut for securet-heads q and secured to said braces and ing the bolts in said sleeves, substantially as head, and the nuts 1; on said screws, substan- 10 described. tially as described.
3. The towel-horse A comprisin tubular r T 7 end standards provided with heads, as g, JOHN MURRAY countersunk sleeves and lugs, as k w, on said Witnesses: standard and head, braces f, and rack-rails e, K. DURFEE,
the screws 19, provided with the beveled sock- OF M. SHAW.
