Description
WINDY WEIGHTS
This invention relates to Windy Weights. Ordinary pinch-type clothes pegs are only suitable for securing the top of washed articles to a clothesline for drying. When you wash large or long pieces of washing such as sheets, towels, Jeans or curtains, they are often blown around and become entangled with the washline, which prevents proper drying.
It is the principle object of the invention to provide an improved weighted clothespeg that can be used on line but mainly off line by attaching to the bottom of such clothes to prevent them from flapping about in the wind.
This will enable the clothes to dry faster and help prevent shrinkage.
These Windy Weights are simple in construction, easy clipper actions, inexpensive to manufacture and effective.
The advantages of Windy Weights will be apparent from the following description when read with reference to the drawings.
