Application filed December 17, 1927. Serial No. 240,724.

My invention relates to garment supports and refers particularly to supports adapted for attachment to radiators.

It is frequently desirable to wash and dry 5 small articles of wearing apparel without being submitted to the expense and delay incident to regular laundering.

The washing of articles of this character is readily accomplished but considerable difficulty is usually experienced in finding a convenient and efl'ective means for drylng the thus washed garments.

The frequently employed method of placing a wet garment upon a heated radiator has numerous objections among which may be mentioned thepossibility of soiling the goods because ofthe dusty and dirty condition of the radiator, the intense heat at the points of contact between the garment and the heated metal and the liability of rust spots.

Allof the above mentioned, and other, objectionable features incident to the usually employed methods of drying by means of I radiator heat are overcome by the device of my invention.

My device comprises an elongated member having opposed radiator supports which will abut upon the upper portion of a radiator, when a radiator hook member is partially around and abutting upon a hOIlzontal radiator conduit thus holding the device in inclined position so that a garment 1 suspended from the upper portion of the device will be positioned in close proximity to, but out of contact with, the radiator.

It will thus be seen that my device is inexpensive and is readily carried in the orditions of the arment to ractically equal heat without t e danger oi injury through uneven heating, production of rust spots or contact with dust and dirt.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating modified forms of the device of my invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals. v

Figure 1 illustrates a radiator with one form of the device of my invention employed therewith.

Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical cross-section of the radiator shown in Figure 1, with my device employed therewith.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of my device shown in Figure 2.

nary suit case and that it subjects all por- 11, 11 and terminating in a radiator hook- 12. The upper portion of the rod 10 is bent into a suspending hook 13.

In operation the radiator hook 13 is placed between two of the vertical radiator conduits 14, 14 and hooked beneath and in abutment with one of the radiator connecting conduits 15, the two flaring, or wing, supports resting upon the upper faces of the two vertical conduits 14, 14, the device being thus positioned in an inclined position as shown in Figure 2.

The device is'thus retained in such an inclined position that a garment, or other material, carried by the suspending hook 13 will be positioned in close proximity to, but

.free from contact with, the radiator.

In the modification shown in Fi ure 5, the flaring supports of the previous gures are replaced by a truncated triangularradiator support 16 fixedly attached to the rod 10.

In the modification shown in Figure 6, the rod 10 carries a movable truncated conical shaped radiator support 16, maintained in any desired position'upon the rod 10 by the on set screw 17 thus allowing of the movement of the radiator support to fit the device to any particular form of radiator.

It will thus. be. seen that my device presents a simple, economical and convenient means whereby moist garments and other materials may be efl'ectively dried through the medium of a heated radiator.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number, arrangement or material of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for clearly describing the device of my invention.

What I claim is v 1 1. In a garment support capable of attachment to a radiator, in combination, an elongated member having a radiator hook at one end capable of placement around the under face of a horizontal radiator conduit, an extended support carried by the elongated member capable of abutment upon the adjacent upper perpendicular portion of a radiator and so positioned that when the radiator hook is in abutment with the horizontal radiator conduit the device will be maintained in inclined position and a. suspending hook carried by the opposite portion of the elongated member.

2. In a garment support capable of attachment to a radiator, in combination, a rod one end of which is bent to form a radiator hook capable of abutment around the under face of a horizontal radiator conduit and the other end of which is bent to form a reverse suspending hook and a triangularshaped radiator support carried by the rod, the plane of the triangular shaped member being in angular position with respect to the plane of the hooks.

3. In a garment support capable of attachment to a radiator, in combination, a rod one end of which is bent to form a radiator hook capable of abutment around the under face of a horizontal radiator conduit and the other end of which is bent to form a re verse suspending hook, a triangular shaped radiator support carrled by and movable along the rod, the plane of the triangular member being in an ular position with respect to the plane 0 the hooks, and means whereby the triangular member may be immovably attached to the rod at any predetermined position.
