JAMES A. MCMAHON, OF BROOKLYN, NElV YORK.
SAFETY APPARATUS FOR HANGING CLOTHES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,890, dated May 13, 1890.
Application filed July 26, 1889. Serial No. 318,744. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES A. lVlOMAHON, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Safety Apparatus for l-Ian gin g Clothes, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.
This invention relates to apparatus arranged on the inside of the window of a house and used in connection with a movable endless clothes-line running over pulleys and extending from the window to a point outside of the house, whereby garments may be strung on the line and run out of and into the window for the purpose of drying them and removing them when dried.
This invention has for its object to provide an apparatus of thekind above referred to, by means of which washed garments maybe readily hung on the line inside of the window, the clothes-line easily and effectively handled, the garment prevented from being soiled in passing over the window-sill, and the danger and exposure arising from leaning out of the windowto handle the clothes-line avoided.
The invention consists in an apparatus for supporting and handling endless clothes-lines mounted on pulleys constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 illustrates the invention in position for use on the inside of a window. Fig. 2 is a side view thereof with the window in section, and Figs. 3, 4., 5, and G are detail views of portions of the apparatus detached.
In carrying out this invention I provide a suitable frame, which is secured on the inside of a window and on which the pulley and one end of the endless clothes-line may be raised and lowered. As here shown, the frame consists of a pole 1, having its lower end resting 011 the floor 2 and supported by means of arms 3 4, the inner end of the arm 4 projecting through a hole in the pole 1 and a metallic sleeve 5 thereon and secured by a pin '5, passin g through a hole in the arm 4, and the outer end of said rod lbeing screwed into a metallic socket O, secured by screws to the windowsash 7. The arm 3 is secured at one end to a metallic socket 6, secured by screws to the window-frame 8, and at the other end to a metallic socket S on a sleeve 8', clasping and movable on the pole 1. By this means as the pole 1 is shortened,according to the height desired, the sleeve 8 may be moved upward thereon. The arms 3 at are of sufficient length to furnish room for enough slack of the endless clothes-line to secure and remove the clothes. The pole 1 stands slightly at an incline to the rear, so as to afford a steady bearing against the strain of the clothes-line.
Upon the pole 1 is mounted a ring 9, movable up and down on the pole and adapted to engage a hook 10 or other fastening to retain the ring on the upper part of the pole when the clothes line is in use.
11 indicates an endless clothes-line, and 12 one of the pulleys over which it passes, having a hook 12', by means of which it is engaged with the ring 9.
In using the clothes-line the ring 9 is re leased from the hook 10 and slid down the pole 1, thereby bringing the line 11 within reach to fasten the clothes thereon or detach them therefrom.
To prevent the clothes from being soiled by being dragged over the window-sill 13, a sliding board 14 is provided, having a strip or cleat 15 on its under side, which rests against the window-sill 13, and anotch 16 at its inner end, which fits against the pole 1. This sliding board 14 fits firmly against the windowsill and against the side of the window-frame, and is held in place by a cleat 15 upon the under side of the board, which bears against the window-sill. The board extends across to and fits firmly upon the pole 1, and is inclined so as to form a brace to prevent the pole from getting out of place.
The board 14 may be fastened in place by any suitable means, and, as here shown, bya chain 17 and pin 18, engaging a hole in rod 3 and socket 6.
lVhen the clothes-line is not required for use, it is suspended outside of the window by means of loops 19 on the line beyond the slack engaging a hook 20 outside of the window, and the slack and the pulley 1 2 unhooked from ring 9, hanging down outside of the building, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2. The board 14 is removed, the pole 1 is removed from the arms 3 and 4, and the latter are unscrewed and removed from their sockets G 6'.
By means of this invention it will be seen that an apparatus is provided by means of which an endless clothes-line may be easily and effectively handled.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. An apparatus for hanging clothes, consisting of a removable upright pole mounted on the inside of awindow, with a catch at its upper end, a sliding ring movable on the pole and adapted to engage the catch, a detachable board extending from the pole and over the window-sill and secured in place thereon, an endless clothes-line, and a pulley detachably connected to the sliding ring, substantially as shown and described.
2. In an apparatus for hanging clothes, the combination, with a window, of the upright pole 1, with a hook 10 at its upper end, the threaded ll'lOlEftlllO sockets (3 6', secured to the window-frame and lower sash of the window, the horizontal arms 3 and 4, having one end screwed into sockets 6 and 6 and secured to pole 1 at their other end, and the sliding ring 9 on pole 1, substantially as shown and described.
3. In an apparatus for hanging clothes, the combination, with a window, of the upright pole 1, mounted on the inside of the window, the board 14, having the eleat 15 on its under side at one end and the notch 1.6 at its other end and adapted to extend over a windowsill and rest against pole 1, and means for fastening the board in place, substantially as shown and described.
