I CLOTHES DRIER.
UNITED STATES PATENT. OFFICE,
' JOHN DENNIS, OF GLENBEULAH, WISCONSIN.
CLOTHES-DRIER.
EPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,231, dated March 24, 1885.
Application filed April 26, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
. Be it known that I, J OHN DENNIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glenbeulah, in the county of Sheboygan and State of Wisconsin, have invented anew and useful Clothes- Drier, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has relation to clothes driers designed to have a large holding capacity when extended, and to occupy acomparatively small space when folded for storage;'and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
Figure l is a view in perspective of my improved clothes-drier when folded. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the two sections opened out but not expanded, and Fig. 3 is a View in perspective of the clothes-drier expanded and locked in the expanded position.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates the base-section comprising four end rails, b b and c c, pivoted in pairs near their middles, and connected by horizontal slats 07, secured to their opposite outer edges by screws or otherwise.
To the upper ends of the pivoted rails 11 b and c c, which form the legs of the clothesdrier, are hinged by short metal straps e e and ff the end rails, h h and 1; t, which are shorter than the legs,'and these top end rails are pivoted in pairs near their upper ends by bolts 1:, and they are also connected by horizontal slats Z, secured to their opposite outer edges by screws or otherwise. The short straps e e are on opposite'sides of the rails to the straps ff, as shown, so that when the sections are foldedthe rails b b and h h will pass in and rest between the rails c c and z z. The upper ends of the upper rails, h It andi t, project slightly above their pivotal points, and when the clothes'drier is expanded bear upon the up- '2. Then grasp the rails at one end of the basesection and open them out until the clothes drier assumes the locked position shown in Fig. 3.
To close the drier, close from the position shown in Fig. 3 back to the position shown in Fig. 2. Then hold the rails at one end down on the floor and push the rails at the other end up until you have the position shown in Fig. 1.
A clothesdrier of this construction having a capacity of fifty feet for drying clothes and weighing but seven pounds when closed will occupy a space of eight and one-half inches inwidth by two inches in thickness and seven feet in length.
. Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The clothes-drier described, consisting of the pivoted rails b 0, connected by horizontal bars d, an upper section composed of rails h z, pivoted together near their upper ends and hinged to rails b c at their lower ends, and connected by bars Z, the upper ends of rails h 17 engaging the uppermost bars, Z, whereby the drier is held in its open position.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN DENNIS.
Witnesses: O. S. BROWN,
HENRY VOLQUARTS.
