Abstract (en)
"Improvements Relating to Clothes Driers" A toggle 13 is pulled out to open up the arms of a drier. At first a mass 12 is pulled up to the top of column 1. Continued pull on the toggle now has the effect of a multi-part purchase over various sheaves 8, 5, 11, 5, 8 and 7 to draw a sleeve 2 and a collar 4 together and lift those elements up the column 1. Support arms carried by lugs 3 on the sleeve 2 are caused to be wedged away from the column 1 and their expansion continues as the sleeve 2 is raised up the column. By the time the sleeve 2 is secure at its uppermost position there is a long length of cord 9 leading from the sleeve to the toggle 13. However, once that toggle is released, the mass 12 is free to drop and it descends to about where the sleeve 2 was with the arms 3 folded before being arrested by the toggle 13 arriving at the sheave 8. <IMAGE>
