A. RUETZ ET AL TOWEL SUPPORT Filed March 10, 1927 [Znaazeza Moon Patented Nov. 13, 1928.
UNETED STATES PATENT 'OFFI-CE.
TOWEL SUPPORT.
Application filed March 10, 1927. Serial No. 174,238.
In bowling alleys, it is customary to hang towels upon posts or the like, in order tnat the bowlers may dry their hands whenever desired, by simply grasping the towel and sliding the hand downwardly thereon. '1 o efiectively support towels under such usage is very difficult and injury is often infilcted both upon the towel and its supporting means. It is the object of my invention however, to provide a new and improved form of towel support which will tenaciously hold the towel in a manner preventing it from be: ing pulled loose, and in a way which is proof against injury both to the support and the towel.
With the foregoing in view, the invent on resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the descript on being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Fig. l is a front elevation showing the de vice in use.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view with the towel in horizontal section.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the support independent of the towel.
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view on line 4-4: of Fig. 1. I
In the drawing above briefly described, the numeral 5 designates a suitably shaped plate preferably formed of metal and adapted to be secured to a post or other support 6, by screws or other desired fasteners 7. Rigidly connected to the plate 5 and preferably formed integrally therewith, is a horizontally disposed loop 8, and spaced from the plane in which said loop islocated, is a hook 9 mgidly secured to the plate 5, said plate and hook being preferably united integrally. I
To support a towel 10 by means of the device, said towel is folded upon itself as at 11, between its ends, and the folded portion of this towel is passed upwardly through the loop 8, the fold hook 9. Thus, the towel is tightly held within the loop 8 with its end portions depending from said loop and no matter how hard these end portions are grasped and pulled upon when drying the hands, the towel will remain effectively supported and no injury 11 being then hooked over the will result either to the towel or its support.
Excellent results are obtainable from the details disclosed and they are therefore preferably followed. However, within the scope of the invention as claimed, variations may of course be made.
We claim 1. Means for supporting a towel which has been gathered together laterally and folded upon itself between its ends, comprising an attaching member, a stationary loop projecting-outwardly from said member in a horizontal plane and through which the folded portion of the towel may be passed, said loop being of a size to be substantially filled by the folded portion of the towel within it, and a hook on the member to enter the fold of the towel, said hook being arranged in closely spaced relation to the loop and projecting outwardly from the member and across the loop, whereby the towel will be gripped by its engagement with the hook and loop and prevented from slipping thereon when its projecting free portions are in use.
2. Means for supporting a towel which has been gathered together laterally and folded upon itself between its ends, comprising an attaching plate, a stationary horizontally disposed loop projecting outwardly from said plate at substantially right angles thereto, through which the folded portion of the towel may be passed, and a hook projecting from said plate in spaced relation to the loop and above the same to receive the fold of the towel, said hook projecting upwardly and across the center of the loop, the size of the loop being such that the folded portion of the towel will closely fit it whereby the towel will be prevented from being pulled from the hook when in use. p
3. Means for supporting a towel which has been gathered together laterally and folded upon itself between its ends, comprising a one piece device including a substantially triangular attaching plate formed along its base with an outwardly and horizontally extending stationary loop through which the folded portion of the towel may be passed, said loop being of a size to be substantially filled by the folded portion of the towel Within it, said plate being also formed on its upper central loop being such that the towel will be pre portion with an upwardly and outwardly invented from being pulled from the hook and olined stationary hook projecting over the loop when in use. center of the loop and spaced slightly above In testimony whereof we have hereunto 5 the same, said hook receiving the fold of the aflixed our signatures.
towel after it has been passed through the AUGUST RUETZ. loop, the relative proportions of the hook and ROBERT G. DALLMANN.
