DRYING-RACK.
r Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 29, 1914.
Application filed October 2, 1313. Serial No. 792,997.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES E. GABBY, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Cheney, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Drying-Racks, of which the following is a specification.
One of the objects of this invention is to utilize the heat incidentally created by operation of a heating means having a wholly different utility for the purpose of quickly drying articles of apparel, towels and the like, and to provide a novel form of supporting means therefor which may be assembled or dis-assembled and attached or detached with ease and facility.
A cooking range is generally located in close adjacency but in spaced relation to a wall or like structural part and the term perature in this space is much higher than temperature in the remainder of the compartment in which the range is located and there is usually created in such space a generally upward current of hot air which slowly rises as colder air ingresses at the open sides, and this incidentally heated space has not heretofore been available for convenient use because of its restricted area and the lack of supporting means adapted for location therein.
It is one of the objects of my invention to provide a support available for use in such space so as to take advantage thereof but one which is simple in construction and easily attachable to a range or the like so as to suspend such articles in the most effective position in such space for quickly drying the same.
Other objects and features of the invention will be more fully described in connection with the accompanying drawing and will be more particularly pointed out in and by the appended claims.
In the drawing :Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a cooking range disposed adjacent a wall of the compartment or room in which it is located, with my invention ap: plied thereto. Fig. 2 is a rear View thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the device of my invention detached from the range.
Like characters of reference designate like parts throughout thediiierent figures of the drawing.
As shown, the device of my invention is applied to a cooking range 1, having an upper horizontal marginal portion 2, and vertical side marginal'portions 3. The range 1, is disposed adjacent a wall 4, but in such spaced relation therewithas to leave an intervening space 5. Because of this relatively restricted space, i the temperature therein exceeds that of the remainder of the interior in which the range is located and the tendency of the air therein is to rise so that air 1 drawn in from the ends of the range and an upward current of slowly rismg air is maintained behind the range.
An article, such as a towel 6, is suspended in the most effective position in order to receive the utmost benefit of the hot air, such position being at a considerable elevation from the floor or the base of the heating means. It will be seen that the range functions in its usual capacity and that the heat given oif in the space5, is incidental to the pormal operation of the range and is usually Supporting means is provided for pendantly hanging articles to be dried in the most effective position in the space 5, in order to obtain a maximum drying efiiciency, and such means will now be described in detail. Said means comprises as shown, a length of wire 7, which is preferably straight, and which isprovided with bent ends 8, extending inwardly from the straight or support ing portion to form rearwardly extending arms adapted to maintain the supporting portion 7, in proper spaced relation rearwardly from the range. The terminals of the arms are provided with fastening elements, integrally formed therewith which are preferably in the form of hooks 9, The wire of which the support is formed is sufliciently resilient so that when the hooks 9 are secured to the vertical end margins 3, they will have-to be sprung thereabout. 'One or morehangerisupports 10, preferably formed of wire, are provided with eyes 11, adapted to be strung onto the main support and be rotatively connected therewith. The free ends of the supports 10, are provided with terminal fastening elements which may take the form of hooks 12, which are adapted to be secured over the upper marginal portion 2, so as to suspend the main supporting part 7, in a substantially horizontal position, as clearly shown.
By suspending the device near the top of the range, and by the novel construction shown, said device may not only be readily secured in place, but when in position, the
same is in the most effective position to sub ject the articles held thereby to the most highly heated portion of the space 5.
It is believed that the utility and advantages of my invention will be fully understood from the foregoingand while I have shown one specific form of my invention, I do not wish to be limited thereto except for such limitations as the claims may import. l0
I claim 1 In a clothes. or like article supporting means, as'an article of the class described, a supporting structure having top horizontal and end vertical marginal portions, a length of wire having its ends extending rearwardly thereoi and provided with terminal hooks adapted to be sprung into grip with said end vertical margins to form a horizontal support, and one or more hanger wire supports rotatively connected with said wire support and having hooked end for engaging said horizontal margin to pendently sustain said support in a horizontal position, substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES E. GABBY.
