Improvements in Tubular Metal Racks for Hats, Cloaks, and
the like.
I, FREDERICK MILAN, of Lockwood, near Huddersfield, in the County of York,
Hot Water Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention has reference to racks composed of pipes arranged vertically and
horizontally or at an angle as thought desirable on which are attached hooks or
fittings for suspending cloaks, hats, and the like. My invention in such racks
consists in supplying the said pipes with steam or hot water or air for the purpose
of drying the cloaks and hats suspended on the hooks.
In order to clearly explain my invention reference is made to the accompanying
drawings wherein
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved tubular metal rack, which is composed
of vertical hollow pillars A. connected together by horizontal pipes B. Hot air,
hot water or steam, enters point C and after circulating through the said pipes,
passes out at point D. The upper borizontal pipes B are provided with hooks E
and there may be attached to each hook a numbered tablet F.
It will be understood that the pipes will become heated by the passage there-
through of the heating medium and that heat radiating from the hot pipes will warm
the surrounding atmosphere and dry clothes in wet weather.
Fig. 2 shews an ordinary form of radiator to which I may attach hooks E for
suspending hats, cloaks, and the like. The improved racks as herein described
will be found of great service in schools, public assemblies, and other places where
numerous people meet.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
A tubular metal hat and coat rack or heat radiator (heated by steam, hot water,
or hot air) provided with hooks for the purposes set forth and constructed and
arranged substantially in the manner described and shewn in the drawings.
Dated this 5th day of October 1895.
