Description
' R. WENDT. FOLDING cLoTHEs TREE. ABPLIOATION'I'ILED J'LY 25, 1910i Patented Feb.7,19171.
Attorneys I To all whom 'it may concern:
UNITED sfrA'rEs- PATENT lrufen REETA WENDT, 0F ALLEN, MARYLAND.
FOLDING CLOTHES-TREE.
Be it known that I, REETA WENDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allen, in the county of Wicomico and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Folding Clothes-Tree, of which the fol-- lowing is a specification.
This invention relates to clothestrees. The principal object of the invention is to provlde a simple and comparatively inexA pensive form of clothes tree which can be folded into such small and compact form that it can be readily carried in a suit case or trunk without occupying much more room than an ordinary telescope.
v With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the'inventi'on resides in the comination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in .the precise embodiment of in ventlon herein disclosed can be made within the scope of the claims vwithout departing from the spirit ofv the invention.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure lis a side elevation of the improved clothes .tree of the present invention in extended condition, the second series of arms being removed. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the upperend of the construction illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section through the upper end of the clothes tree showing the attachment for the second 4series of arms, one of the arms of the upperseries being shown in extended position and all of the arms of the lower series being shown as folded inside the casing of the deyice. Fig. 4 is a perspective view, .partly 1n section, of one of the corners ofthe supporting collar showing the rooved portion which serves to support t e arm of the clothes tree. Fig. 5-1s a. detail perspective view of Ya portion of the sleeve member which carries the series of'radial arms. Fig. 6 isa detail perspective view of one of the arms, the middle portion of the arm being broken away. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of an ordinary form of coupling adapted to be used when the second series of arms are removed from the device.
' Like reference numerals indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
The clothes tree of the present invention Specification of Letters Patent.
preferably consists of a plurality of `telescopic -sections 1, 2 and 3, the section 2 being adapted to telescope Within the section 1 and the section 3 being adapted to telescope. within the section 2. Each of the sections 1 and 2 is provided -at the upper end thereof with a collar et.. through which extends a set screw 5 by means of which the parts of the clothes tree may be locked either in extended or in telescoped condition.-
The means foi` supporting the clothes tree in upright position preferably consists of a plurality of legs 7 each of which is piv'otally connected at 8 with a collar 9 which is slidable upon the lowermost section 1. For the purpose of locking the collar 9 against sliding movement so as to hold the legs 7 in proper position, a set screw 10 is mounted in said collar and is adapted t-o be tightened against the section 1. Mounted at the lower end` of the section 1 is a collar 12 which-is Patented Feb. '7, 1911.
Application filed July 25, 1910. Serial No. 573,711.
desired to fold the clothes tree into small compass, the set screw 10 is loosened and the collar 9 is adjusted upward upon the section 1. This causes the legs 7 to be folded close inward against the section l.
At the upper end thereof. the clothes tree is lprovided w.ith a plurality of inwardly movable arms 16 preferably, although not essentially, four in number. Each of the arms 16, as illustrated clearly in Fig. 6, is
provided at its outer end with an enlargement or head 17 and at its inner end with a cross piece or dowel pin 18. The four arms 16 are slidably mounted in a sleeve member 19 which as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing, is rovided at the upper end thereof with a disk or closure 2O t e edges of which proje'ct out beyond the sleeve member 19. The arms 16 extend through slots 21 which are cut so as to extend downward in the sleeve member 19 and radially inward in the disk or cover piece 20. The sleeve member 19 with the four. arms 16 mounted-therein and held against withdrawal by means of the cross pms 18 is .inserted downward into the upper end of the section 3 as shown clearly in Fig. 3 of the drawing, and is held against movement therein by friction, the diskI 20` i i resting at its upper end against a square col- .and lower section.
ber 30 illustrated. in Fig. 3 of the drawing is employed. This member 30 is in substantially the sha of a spool and consists ofv a reducedl mid le ortion and enlarged upper and lower en s Bland 32, `said enlarged ends 31 and 32 being reversely threaded so that they can be screwed into the upper and lower sections of the member 3 of the lclothes tree-as shown. The lower end 32 of the member 30 is c'ut away or slotted as in- .'dicated at 33, in the same manner as the,
[being provided with enlarged heads 35.4
When 1tis not desired to use the lower set of arms,they are folded inside themember 3 as shown. 1n Fig. Said member 3 can then be telescoped downward withinthe Y member 2 without having the upper ends or heads of the arms 34 interfere in any manner with the folding up of the clothes tree. The lower set of arms 34 can be extended in the same mannerlas the upper set p of arms.
The clothes tree fof the present invention is exceedingly strong, simple, durable and inexpensive in' construction as well as thoroughly' practica-l and efficient in use. "By
reason of the fact that it can be folded into small compass, and carried in a suit case or trunk, it can be readily carried from place to place by travelers.
- What is claimed as new is:
1. A folding' clot-hes tree having inner spool shaped member being small enough to slide inside said outer telescopic. member.
2. A folding clothes tree having inner and outer telescopic members, lthe inner member being formed in upper and lower sections, a spool shaped member detachably connectingsaid upperl and lower sect-ions, a set of arms slidably connectedA with the lower portion of said spool shaped member andgprojectable outwardly from the contracted middle portion of said spool shaped member, and a second set of arms slidably connected with the upper end of said upper section.
In testimony that'I-claim the foregoing as my own, I have heretofaiixed my signature 1n the presence of two wltnesses. f
