Description
Gale's patent "consists in combining with a portable shelf, or mantel, (which may be screwed to the plastering or wainscot, of a room) a series of folding slats, substantially as hereinafter described, so that when said slats are unfolded, or turned out...they may be used as a clothes-drier, and when not wanted for that purpose, may be folded up under the shelf and entirely out of the way; while the shelf is always convenient and ready for use."
