To (til whom, 71/ may concern:
Be it known that I, GUY REYNOLD JAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rome, in the county of Sunflower and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Laundry-Registers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device by which a record is kept of washed goods given out for laundry purposes; and the object of the invention is a device of this kind by which a record can be readily kept which will show at once the amount and nature of the work given out, to whom it was given, and whether all or any part has or has not been returned.
The device herein shown and described is designed to take the place of a written slip now in use.
The invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the claims, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a face view of the device, the central portion being broken away. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side view of one of the counters.
In the drawings, A represents a suitable frame carrying a headboard A, which is perforated at A so that the device can be readily hung upon a nail or hook and the frame A rovided with a vertical longitudinal crossbar A, dividing it into two sides.
A frame B is placed on the headboard A and holds a slate B, and the glass cover B is hinged to the frame B, the glass being held in a suitable frame B, which is provided at its lower edge with an outwardly-extending and curved flange B which provides a pencil rack, and from the lower edge of the frame B also projects a slotted tongue B, adapted to be engaged by a rotatable eye B carried by the headboard B.
A plurality of rods, bars, or wires D are arranged transversely in the frame A, and counters E are placed upon said rods and are adapted to be moved back and forth upon them. The counters are preferably circular in form and are radially slotted, as shown at E, and a iece of spring metal E has one end embedde in the counter at the inner end of the slot and the other end embedded in the periphery of the counter adjacent the outer end of the slot, the body portion of the spring extending the length of the slot and spaced a sufficient distance from an edge of the slot to permit one of the rods D to pass through the slot and between the said spring E and one side of the slot. By disengaging the outer end of the spring from the socket in the peripheryof the disk in which the said outer end is seated or embedded the counter can be removed from the rod; but ordinarily the counter is held by the spring both from disengagement withtherod and also byreason of the spring bearing upon the rod accidental slipping of the counter along the rod is avoided.
The side members of the frame A carry a strip of celluloid or other suitable writing-sun face held in position by flanges F, and these strips are preferably covered with sheets of mica, as shown in the lower part of Fig. 1 at G, though glass or any other transparent material can be employed or a transparent covering may be omitted, if so desired. Upon the strips F and registering with the ends of the rods D are written the names of various articles to be laundered, and it will be obvious that the device can be made in any size and as many rods employed as may be necessary and that any imprinted matter may be placed upon the slate B and the strips F.
The manner of using my device is as follows: The counters E, of which there may be any number upon each rod D, are normally moved in the position as shown in the lower portion of Fig. 1, and as various articles are given out to be washed counters E upon the rods in alinement with the name of the article on the strip F are moved to a position adj acent a side of the frame A, one counter being moved for each of said articles. In Fig. 1 of the drawings the recorder will indicate that one apron and two blankets had been given out to be washed, although it will be understood that any arbitrary meaning can be attached to the counters, and they could also represent one dozen aprons and two dozen blankets, if so desired, or the same names can be written adjacent the ends of different rods D, and the counters on one rod stand for units and those upon the other rod for dozens or any other given number of the articles.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A frame, rods carried thereby, counters detachably held upon the rods and adapted to be moved thereon, and a spring adapted to prevent accidental movement of the counter upon the rod.
2. The combination with a frame having a verse rods carried by the frame, said rods alining with the matter imprinted upon the said strips, slotted counters carried by and movable on the rods, and a Wire in the slot of 15 each counter, adapted to hold the same to the rod, as and for the purpose set forth.
GUY REYNOLD JAMES.
plurality of rods thereon, a counter radially slotted and a spring member extending longitudinally in the slot and connected at each end to the counter, said spring member being adapted to engage one side of one of said rods.
3. A device of the kind described comprising a frame, flanges carried by the sides of the frame, a strip having imprinted matter thereon held in each side of the frame by' the flanges upon that side, a plurality of trans- VVitnesses J. E. HUTcHINs, Jr., J. E. HUToHINs, Sr.
