CLOTHES-DRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 472,188, dated April 5, 1892.
Application iiled September 9, 1891. Serial No. 405,163. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, ROBERT H. BURDGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Olothes-Driers, of which the following is a specioation.
The object of my invention is to providea rack or frame for holding articles-such as clothes and like articles-while they are being dried, which may be strong and durable, but simple and inexpensive, and which may be readily folded when not in use into a compact form and again readily spread apart and held away from the object to which it is secured, so that the clothes may be held inthe proper position for drying and airing.
My invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, and its details of construction will be hereinafter fully described.
Figure l is an elevation of my improved clothes-drier secured to the wall of a building with the parts folded against the wall. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the parts distended and spread apart ready for use. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a modification, and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the same with the parts in another position.
In Figs. l and 2 myimproved clothes-drier is shown as consisting ot' a bracket A, which may be secured to the wall X of a building, and which is provided with a tongue or projection A', to the upper and lower sides of which is secured the arms b b of the swinging arm B. The arm B is pivoted to the tongue A by means of a vertical bolt C, provided with an adjusting-nut C', which may be readily loosened and tightened, so that the swinging arm may be turned to any desired position and held there when the nut C is tightened. On the outer end of the swinging arm is secured a series of radial arms D. These arms are arrangedone above the other, and are pivoted centrally to the swinging arm B by means of a vertical bolt E, which is provided with an adjustable tightening-nut E. The arms are of the same length and extend the same distance on opposite sides of the pivot-bolt E. Vhen folded, as shown in Fig. 1, they are parallel with each other and with the arm B, which is of a length somewhat greater than one-half the length of the radial arms, so that when the arm B is turned into a position at right angles to the wall X the arms may be arranged radially in all directions from the pivot E, as shown in Fig.2. When arranged as shown in Fig. 2, the arms may be held in place by tightening the nutE.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I have shown a modication, in which the swinging arm B is made in two parts, hinged together by a horizontal pivot b2. Vhen in a horizontal position, the inner end of the arm B2 rests against a stop b3, so that the arm B2 is held in a horizontal position; but when desired the arm B2 may be turned on its pivot, as shown in Fig. 4, to a vertical position. By this arrangement the bracket may be secured to the wall of a house near the corner of a room, and the frame may 'be turned up out of its horizontal position without moving the radial arms D from the position which they occupy when holding the articles to be dried.
I claim as my inventionl. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of a bracket adapted to be secured to the wall of a building or other object, the swinging arm secured thereto, and the centrally-pivoted radial arms secured to the outer end of the swinging arm.
2. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of the bracket,'the swinging arm secured thereto, the radial arms pivoted to the outer end of the swinging arm, and tightening-nuts for holding the swinging arm and the radial arms in their adjusted positions.
3. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of the bracket, the swing-A ing arm secured thereto and which is made in two parts, hinged together by a horizontal pivot, and the centrally-pivoted radial arms secured to the outer end' of the swinging arm.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed 4my name. c.
