CLOTHES-PIN HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Applicationflled June 6, 1912. Serial No. 702,094.
Patented Mar. 4, 1913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Louis F. W. MER- TENS, of Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pin Holders, of which the following-is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide adevice by means of which a quantity of clothes pins can be supported within convenient reach of the person hanging the clothes.
A further object is to provide a device which can be easily hung on the clothes line and removed therefrom.
The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front view of a clothes pin holder embodying my invention, Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view, Fig. 4 is a detail view of the lower portion of the holder, Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view illustrating a modified construction, Fig. 6 is a detail of the construction shown in Fig, 5.
In the drawing, Fig. 1, I have shown the holder composed of sheet metal and 'conissting of plates 2 each having outwardly turned edges 3 terminating in inwardly turned flanges or lips 4. These fianges'orlips are spaced apart, forming a guide-way 5 that is adapted to receive the s ank of a clothes pin. At thelower ends-of the guides ledges 6 are formed, which project into the space between the edges 3 and engage the head of the in and prevent it fromdropping out at t e lower end of the guide. A recess 7 is formed in the plate 2, with a thumb piece 8 at the upper end of the recess and when the pins slide down b gravity to the bottom of the guide the lowervd pin will assume the position indicated in Fig. 2, with its head supported by the ledges 6, and will be held on the ledges by the weight of the pins above. At any time the lower pin may be removed by grasping it and sliding it olf the ledges 6 and out through the recess 7. If the guide is full of pins, the operator may place the thumb on the projection 8 and, pressing thereon, pull the lower pin outfrom beneath the others. A series of these guides are preferably provided, arranged' side by side and suitably secured together, and as they are all of the same construction, detailed description of the others will be unnecessary.
At the upper end of the holder I refer to provide a hook'device 9 that is a apted to engage the clothes line and support the holder thereon.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a modified construction which consists in arranging a series of four plates back to back and secured together, the edges 11 projecting outwardly and having inwardly turned flanged portions 12 between which the pin shanks are slidable.
At the bottom of the carrier I may provide spring devices 13 having inwardly turned ends which extend partially across the holder and engage the head of the pin. These springs are adapted to lower pin is pulled out sufliclently to allow the pin to be removed from between the flanges 12.
Various other modifications may be devised by any one skilled in the art and still be within the scope of my invention.
I claim as my invention 1. A clothes pin holder comprising a guide having inwardl turned edges spaced apart to receive the sliank of a clothes pin, a stop at the bottom of the guide on which the head of the clothes pin rests, and is held thereon by the weight of the pins above, the'wall of said guide having a recess therein through which the lower pin may be moved horizontally from said stop.
2. A clothes pin holder comprising a plate having its longitudinal edges folded inwardly in parallel relation to one another, and spaced apart to form a guide to receive and support the pin heads, one upon another, said guide having a stop at its lower end to support the lower pin, and a recess in its wall through which the pin may be rawn to remove it from the guide and beneath the other pins.
3. A clothes pin holder comprising a guide having means for supporting it on a clothes line and adapted to receive a series of pins placed one above another therein, stops provided at the lower end of the guide in the path of the lower pin, the forked portions of all of the pins projecting outwardly beyond said guide and the lower pin of the series swinging to a substantially vertical position when it contacts with sald stop in line with said guide, said guide having a yield when the recess in its'wall through which the'lower pindmay be moved to disengage it from said 4. A clothes pin holder comprising a plate having means for supporting it on a clothes line and provided with a vertical guideway adapted to receive the heads of clothes pins inserted one above another therein, said guideway having a stop at its lower end on which the lower pin of the series pivots and swings to a substantially vertical position, said plate having a recess through which the lower pin may be. moved to disengage it from said guidewa'y.
5. A clothes pin carrier comprising a plate having its longitudinal edges folded inwardly in parallel relation to one another and spaced apart to form a guide to receive and support the pin heads, one against another, said plate having means to prevent the accidental discharge of the pins from said guide.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, 1912.
