FR2777295A1 - Fastener for holding pairs of articles together during washing and drying - Google Patents

Abstract

The fastener is made from a folded strip of a flexible material, such as a plastic, rubber or synthetic material, e.g. with cutout apertures, equipped with a pair of small spring clips (B) attached to it by loops of rubber cord (C) passed through slits (D). The fastener is designed so that it can be attached to a washing line (L) by a clothes peg (P).

Description

I - The present invention relates to a more spreading device

  specially adapted for small laundry of the same category, of the same shape, of the same kind, going in pairs or colors. It is intended to facilitate the household load due to the volume and the resemblance of the washed linen. Hanging is traditionally done unit by unit, sorting of washed laundry and grouping of items going in pairs, by category, by shape or by color, taking place after washing or drying. The object presented here avoids a posteriori sorting of these same

  articles, limit the time, place and number of clothespins required for hanging.

  It is an object allowing to gather before or after washing, the articles going by pair, by category, by shape or by color by a system provided with two clips, and which allows: - to limit the sorting action , since the articles can be grouped together before washing, to limit the space usually required for hanging, since this is no longer carried out side by side but face to face, - to limit the number of pliers to laundry needed for hanging, since the articles are extended two by two, and only one clamp is necessary where two were before for an outdoor drying, and none is

  necessary for interior spreading.

  According to particular embodiments, the invention consists of a part made of plastic, rubbery material, synthetic product or textile serving as a joining element for two small crocodile clip clips. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

  With reference to these drawings, the invention comprises - a part (A) making it possible to hold together the articles going by pair, category or color on the one hand, and to allow spreading facing

  face of these same items on the other hand.

  2s - two small crocodile-type clips (B) for hanging items on

the subject of the invention.

  Figure (1) shows a top view of the invention in the form or the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a plastic, rubber or synthetic product strip, on which will have been precut 3-symmetrically according to a axis (x) of the windows (F) on either side of the axis

  and slots (G) forming notches (D) allowing the clamps (B), provided with a rubber ring or cable (C), to be held at the junction element (A) .5 The figure (2) represents the invention provided with clamps (B) when used on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  FIG. (3) represents a top view of the invention in the form where the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a plastic, rubber or synthetic product strip, on which will have been symmetrically precut along an axis ( x) windows (F) sparing thin strips (V) which arc buttoned on themselves and passing through manholes (R) will allow the clamps (B), fitted with a rubber ring or cable (C), to be maintained the joining element (A). Figure (4) shows the invention fitted with pliers (B) when

  use on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  Figure (5) shows a top view of the invention in the form where the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a plastic, rubber or synthetic product strip, on which will have been symmetrically cut along an axis ( x) windows (F) sparing thin strips 20 (V) which arc butted on themselves and whose ends, pressed against part (A) form a loop allowing the clamps (B) provided

  a rubber ring or cable (C) ensuring the clamps (B) are held at the junction element (A).

  Figure (6) shows the invention fitted with clamps (B) when

  use on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  Figure (7) shows a top view of the invention in the form where the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a plastic band, rubber or synthetic product, on which will have been symmetrically precut along an axis ( x) windows (F) extended by two holes - 4 -

  (T) allowing the passage of a rubber ring or cable (C) and ensuring the maintenance of the clamps (B) at the junction element (A).

  Figure (8) shows the invention provided with clamps (B) when used on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  FIG. (9) represents a top view of the invention in the form where the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a plastic strip,

  rubber or synthetic product, on which will have been symmetrically precut along an axis (x) of the windows (F), and at the ends of which will have been spared thin strips (E) on which come to fix the clamps (B) provided with '' a pinching system (Z).

  Figure (10) shows the invention provided with clamps (B) when used on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  Figure (11) shows a top view of the invention in the form where the part (A) connecting the clamps (B) is materialized by a textile strip on which on both sides of the slots (G) have been precut allowing thus to the clamps (B) provided with a ring or cable

  rubbery (C) passing through these slots to be maintained at element (A). Figure (12) shows the invention provided with clamps (B) when used on the clothesline (L) and held by a clothespin (P).

  Similarly, the clamps (B) can be an integral part of the joining element (A).

  By way of nonlimiting example, the part (A) allowing the holding of the two clamps (B) and the fixing of the invention on the clothesline will have

  dimensions of the order of 2.50 cm for the width and 8.00 cm for the length.

  The windows precut on part (A) will have dimensions of the order of 1.50 cm for the width and 2.50 cm for the length, and this at

  about 0.20 cm from the middle of the part (A) represented by the axis (x).

-

  The spared bands (V) will have dimensions of the order of 0.50 cm for the width and 2.00 cm for the length.

  The device according to the invention is particularly intended to limit the household load due to the volume of laundry washed by reducing the time, the place and the number of clothespins necessary for hanging. 6-
