' .I. s. BOWEN.
CLOTHES BAR. APPLICATION IIL a JAN-19,1906.
A 77' ORN E Y5 is rigidly JEFFERSON S. BOWEN, OFMILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN CLOTHES-BAR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 23, 1908.
Application filed. January 19, 1906. Serial No. 296,810.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JEFFERSON S. BOWEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Bars, of whichthe following is a specification;
My invention relates to improvements in adjustable clothes bars.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple device from which clothes may be suspended while being dried and which may be lowered preparatory to placing the clothes thereon, and may, when the clothes are in place, be raised and retained in the upper part of a room where they will be out of the way while being dried.
The construction of my invention is eX-' plained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 represents a perspective view in which the slidable frame is connected with the stationary frame by angle irons operating in longitudinal grooves. Fig. 2 represents a horizontal section of a modified form in which the movable frame is provided with bearing rollers which operate in the grooves of a channel iron which form a part of the stationary frame, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section drawn on line :l;:r of Fig. 2.
Like parts are identified by the same reference letters throughout the several views.
The stationary frame comprises the vertical standards A A and the transverse connecting bar's B B. The frame, when in use affixed to the surface of a wall by screws or in any convenient manner. The slidable frame comprises the horizontal bars 0 C, a plurality of transverse clothes supporting rods D, vertical bars E E, bars F F, braces G G and braces H H. The slidable frames are connected with the vertical frame by angle irons, four in number, I which angle irons are rigidly affixed at one end to the slidable frame and their op osite ends are provided with L-shaped bends which engage in the longitudinal vertical recesses or channels J J of the posts A.
The slidable frame is sus ended from the stationary frame by the lifting cord K which cord is ermanently connected at one end with said slidable frame through the braces H, H, and passes thence over the pulleyL thence downwardly to the pulley M with which pulley M the lower end of said cord K is connected. The pulley M is rigidly affixed to the shaft N and said shaft has journal bearings in the lower cross bar B. To the side of the ulley M is attached a ratchet wheel 0 which is adapted to turn with the pulley M and wheel supporting shaft N.
P 1s a awl which is pivotally supported from the bar N on the p n Q.
R is an o crating crank which is adapted to be attached to the shaft N when desirous to operate the same. Thus it will be understood that when desirous to lower the clothes bars the crank R is placed upon the shaft N when the pawl P is raised and said piulley M is turned so as to unwind the cord therefrom, whereby the bars are permitted to descend of their own gravity. When the clothes have been placed upon the bars, said bars are raised to the desired position by turning the crank R in the opposite direction, whereby the lower end of the cord K will be again wound upon the said pulley M, thereby causing said rack with the clothes thereon to ascend as the lower end of the rope is drawn down and wound upon said pu ley. It will of course be understood that the pulley is retained at any desired point of adjustment by the pawl P which enga es the teeth of the ratchet wheel 0 as the cor is being wound on said pulley.
As a means for reducing the friction between the contiguous arts of the movable and stationary frames preferably substitute channel iron posts S S, shown in Figs. 2 and 3, for the posts A shown in Fig. 1, when the respective sides of the slidable frame are provided with bearing rollers T which are revolubly connected with said frame at its respective upper and lower corners b the pins or screws U and said rollers are a a ted to o erate in the channels V V of sai posts. ft will be obvious that by this arran ement the two parallel upper rollers T, T, wil be caused by t e weight of the frame to bear a ainst the front wall of the channel iron wh' e the two parallel lower rollers will bear against the rear wall of the channel iron and that said rollers thus employed will prevent the bearings of the movable rack from cramping or becoming caught in the bearings of the stationary frame and greatly reduce the friction between such parts as said movable frame is being raised and lowered.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
In clothes bars of the class described, the
combination of a stationary vertical frame, the res ectivesides of which are formed of channel iron, the outer edges of which form vertical grooves, a slidable frame comprising a horizontal and a vertical member rigidly connected together, said vertical member being connected at its respective upper and lower corners with said vertical frame, rollers carried by said vertical frame adapted to operate in the vertical grooves of said stationary frame, a hoisting cord connected at one end with the vertical member of said slidable frame and passing from thence over a pulley which is supported from the upper end of said stationary frame and from thence downwardly to and connected at its lower end with a winding pulley supported from the lower end of said stationary rame, means for revolving said pulley and means for locking the same and thereby retainin said slidable ,frame at any desired point 0% adjustment, relatively to said vertical frame, all substantially as and for the pur ose specified.
In testimony whereo I am); my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
