Description
@nith tetes @anni @frn SAMUEL H. TlTU-S, OF PENNINGTON, NEW JERSEY.
Letters Patent No. 65,305, dated May 28, 1867.
IMPROVED CLOTHES-DRYER.
'Uf-Ln .ripbnl nient tu in ilgse tcttets nteut kmh making gaat' nf tige 5min,
To ALL WnoM IT MAY ooNoERN;
v Be it known that I, SAMUEL H. TITUS, of' Pennington, in the county of Mercer, and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and improved Clothes-Horse, for the drying of clothes thereon'; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of' the same, reference heing had to the annexed drawing, making a part of' this specification.
Fignrel represents a perspective view of the clothes-horse when the frame is spread out for drying thereon. A B and C D represent the pair of crossstundards, whereon the other parts ofthe frame are constructed. Nearly all the parts of' the frame being duplicated, the same letters of reference are intended to designa-te similar parts thereof. E F and G 1I, as also E I and F H, represent the short parallel spreading arms of the frame; K I( K a'rc the clothes-bars, whereon the clothes are to he hung to dry; L L is the roller-belt bar, and M M the vhelts for winding up and regulatingr the extension of the cross-standards; N is n. ratchet-wheel, firmly fastened on to the exterior end ofthe roller-belt bar, and to which is applied the spring-catch or pawl P; O represents a lever '01' thumb-head firmly fastened on to the exterior end of' the roller-bar L L, wherehy'it is turned. In the construction o` the frame, the extreme ends of the clothes-bars K K K are reduced in diameter with a shoulder thereon, so as to pass through the eross-stamlards and parallel arms. In all eases where these reduced ends of the clotheshars pass through the standards and parallel arms, or through two of the said parallel arms, the jexterior ends of the clothes-hars are firmly fastened by glue, pins, o1" otherwise, to said standards or arms, whereas the other portions of said reduced ends pass loosely through the standards or parallel arms, so as to lallow of motion thereon. The bar R R, whose ends pass. through the tivo pair of standards A B, C D, forms the centre of motion, whereon the standards move in extending or spreading out the frame, or when contracting and closing up thc saule for removal or otherwise.
The operation required in the use of this improved clothes-horse is very simple andY obvious. By pressing on the extreme end of' the spring-catch or pawl P, the catch is released from the ratchet-wheel N, so that the standards may then be spread out or extended to the full extent of the belts. By this operation the upper clothes-bars are brought down near to the-ground, and at a convenient height to hang the clothes thereon. When these upper bars are filled, a few turns of the lever or thumb-head O will wind up the belts, draw the standards together, and raise the frame and upper already loaded clothes-bars to a more elevated position, so
that the underneath or remaining bars may now be lled as aforesaid.
I do not claim, broadly, any of the separate and particular parts embraced in the construction ofthe abovedescribed frame or clothes-horse; but what I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
'lhe combination and construction of a clotheshorse, having the cross-standards A B and C D, parallel arms E F Gr II E I and F H, roller L L, and belt M M, ratchet N, spring-catch P, and thLnnb-headl O, with the 'clothes-bars K K K, substantially as above described, and for the purposes herein set forth.
SAMUEL H. TITUS.
