Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 2, 1906.
Application filed June 2, 19(14. Serial No. 210,798.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PATRICK J AMES SLOAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Clothes-Line Support, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved clothes-line support for convenient attachment to a window-frame and arranged to permit hanging the clothes on the line while the person is standing in a room without requiring the person to bend out of the window and to allow of swinging the support outward clear of the sash after the line is filled without causing slack in the line.
The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a side elevation of the improvement as applied to a window shown in crosssection. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an edge View of the improvement, showing the arm in section. Fig. 4 is a like view of the same, showing the arm swung half-wayout. Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional plan view of the lower guide-pulley and its mounting, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the keepers for holding the arm in a locked position.
A suitably-constructed bracket A is removably supported on screws B,secured to the window-frame 0, preferably at the parting-strip and the outer guide-strip for the upper window-sash, as plainly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the back of the said bracket being provided with an offset A fitting into the space between the said strips to hold the bracket 45 against sidewise movement. On the bracket A, preferably at or near the middle thereof, is held a pivot D for an arm D to swing on horizontally, the said arm being provided at its outer end with a pulley E, over which 5 passes a clothes-line F, extending out to the pulley on the post or other support arranged in the yard. The clothes-line F also passes over pulleys G and G, journaled on plates H and H, connected by hinges H and H with the bracket A, the said plates H and H being adapted to swing up and down when the arm D is swung outward from the room into an outermost position after the line is filled-with the clothes or when the arm is swung inward into the room to the position shown in Fig.
1 whenever it is desired to remove the dry clothes or to put washed clothes to be dried on the line.
The pulleys G and G are located suitable distances above and below the pivot D and approximately in the same vertical plane, and in order to cause the plates H and H, carrying the said pulleys, to swing in unison with the movement of the arm D a rod I is provided, extending with its upper end under the plate H and engaging with its lower hooked endI a loop J, secured on the inner face of the hinge-plate H (See Fig. 4.) The rod 1 is secured to the arm D a short distance from the pivot D, so that when the arm is swung from an inward position into an outward position, or vice versa, then the ends of the rod impart a swinging motion to the plates H and H, so as to hold the pulleys Gr and G thereof in proper relation to the pulley E to prevent the clothes-line F from leaving the pulleys G and G during the movement of the arm from one position to the other.
In order to lock the arm D in place when in an innermost or outermost position, keepers K and K are provided, secured to the bracket A on opposite sides of the pivot D, and the said keepers are adapted to be engaged by a loop L,.held to slide on the upper portion of the rod I and normally resting on top of the arm D. When the arm D is swung 'into an innermost position, with the loop L' raised on the rod I, then the loop is lowered, ,as soon as the arm has reached its innermost position, to engage the loop with the keeper K, and consequently to lock the arm against outward swinging. In a like manner when it is desired to swing the arm D outward the loop L is first raised to disengage it from the keeper K, and then the arm D is swung outward, and when it has reached its outermost position the loop is lowered and engaged with the keeper K to lock the arm in an outermost position. I
When the arm D is in an innermost position and it is desired to hang clothes on the line,
side of the Window.
it is only necessary for the operator to remove the lower run of the clothes-line F from the pulley G (see dotted lines, Fig. 1) to permit of convenient attachment of the clothes to the lower run of the line and to allow of shifting the rope so as to take the clothes out- VVhen the line is filled, the lower run is again passed in engagement with the pulley G, and then the arm D is un-' Fig. 1, for removably engaging the screws B to allow of conveniently taking the entire device ofi the window-frame whenever it is desired to do so.
The arm D is preferably made in two sections D and D slidable lengthwise one on the. other to increase or decrease the length of the arm, the said parts D and D being connected with each other by suitable bolts D and D held in the part D and slidably engaging a slot D formed in the other part D as plainly indicated in Fig. 2.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. Aclothes-linesupportcomprising an arm mounted to swing horizontally and carrying at its free end a pulley for the passage of the clothes-line, carrier or guide pulleys on the support for the arm, one above and the other below the pivot of the said arm and over which passes the clothes-line to and from the said arm-pulley, and movable carriers for the said guide-pulleys, to allow the carrier or guide pulleys to assume different angles on swinging the arm in or out of the window.
2. A clothes-line support comprising an arm mounted to swing horizontally and carrying at its free end a pulley for the passage of the clothes-line, carrier or guide pulleys on the support for the arm, one above and the other below the pivot of the said arm and over which passes the clothes-line to and from the said arm-pulley, and carrier-plates disposed above and below the pivot of the said arm and mounted to swing up and down, on which plates the said guide-pulleys are mounted to turn.
3. A clothes-line support comprising an arm mounted to swing horizontally and carrying at its free end a pulley for the passage of the clothes-line, carrier or guide pulleys above and below the pivot of the said arm and over which passes the clothes-line to and from the said arm-pulley, movable carriers for the said guide-pulleys, to allow the carrier or guide pulleys to assume different angles on swinging the armin or out of the window, and a connection between the said carriers and the said arm, for imparting movement to the said carriers on swinging the arm about.
