CLOTHES-LINE HOOK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 21, 1913.
Patented July 15, 1913.
sei-'iai No. 755,990.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOI-IN Mittel-Imm, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of lPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes- Line Hooks, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to clothes line hooks; and it has for its object means for supporting the hook for longitudinal adjustment along the rail of the fence and means for facilitating the operation of removing the hook when desired.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a hook wherein its clamping engagement with the fence will be maximized under the weight of the articles suspended from the line.
lVith these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings :MFigure 1 is a sectional perspective view of a portion of a fence structure, showing the application of the hook thereto; and Fig. 2 is a front view thereof.
The fence structureA conventionally illustrated herein includes a top rail B, which is extended beyond the vertical sides of the fence, as shown in Fig. 1. The line supporting member comprises a plate 1 which rests against the upper surface of the rail B, and it is provided at one end with a vertically depending ange 2 which is disposed immediately along one of the vertical sides of the rail B and which terminates in a retaining or clamping element 3 which extends at right angles to the plane of the flange 2 and which is constructed so as to permit of its engagement with the under surface ofthe rail B at one side of the felice structure. At the opposite end the plate 1 is extended beyond the opposite vertical side of the rail B and provided with alined knuckles 1, which are spaced relatively for the reception therebetween of an intermediate portion 5 of a line supporting hook G. The yportion 5 is extended laterally, as at 7, and then downwardly and iuwardly in the form of a nose 8, which is pivotally connected at 9l with a clamping head 10. The portion 5 is pivotally connected in the knuckles 4: through the medium of a pin 11, as shown. This construction is such that the tongue of the hook is connected with the portion 5 through an intermediate relatively long and heavy arm 12 whose weight operates or acts normally to move the hook in one direction and thereby advance the head 10 in the direction of the adjacent vertical side of the rail B, causing the same to cooperate with the clamping element 3 of the flange 2 and in this manner secure the device in operative position upon the fence structure.
It is evident that when a line is connected in any obvious well known manner with the hook G its weight, and the weight of the articles hung from the line will advantageously contribute to the weight of the long arm 12 toward holding the head 10 in proper gripping contact with the rail B. `When desired, the hook may be rocked manually so as to permit the plate 1 to be shifted to any desired point in the length of the rail B. Then again it is stated that the hook may be adjusted so as to cause the head 10 to be disposed slightly above the plane of the plate 1 and thereby permit the latter to b-c adjusted laterally over the upper surface of the rail B with a resultant disengagement of the retaining or clamping portion 3 from the rail.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood wit-hout requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacricing any of the advantages of this invention, as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, what T claim is 1. A clothes line hook comprising a flat metal plate bent at one of its ends to provide a depending' flange, an integral clamping extension lying at right angl-es to the plane of the flange, the opposite end of the plate having spaced alined loops, a hook pivoted between the loops and provided with a relatively long upper arm terminally overlying the plate and a lower lateral eX- tension formed on the hook below its point of connection with the plate, and a Hat clamping head pivotally connected with the lower end of the hook.
2. A clothes line support for fence structures comprising a flat plate overlying 4the rail of the structure and having one of its ends bent angularly to provide a depending liange having a free portion underlying" the top rail ot' the fence structure, the said plate 4having its opposite end extended beyond the adjacent longitudinal side of the rail of the fence structure and provided with alined loops7 a hook pivoted between the loops and provided with a relatively long and heavy upper arm Curved throughout its length and terminally overlying the plate, land a `Clamping head pivotally connected with the hook below the point of Connection of the latter with said loops.
In testimony whereof l aix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
JOHN lVIITCHELL.
