FREDERICK COMES, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CLOTHES-LINE FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented A11 4, 1914.
Application filed October 24, 1913. Serial No. 797,027.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK Comes, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes'Line Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates essentially to a device for adjusting and fastening the ends of a clothes line.
The device includes means for securing the free end of the line without the employment of knots.
One of the objects of the invention is, to provide a simple inexpensive device which can be easily manipulated and will positively fasten the ends of the line. In a device of this kind the free end of the line is simply hitched about a pair of hooks located at the sides of the block, and then twined around a hook projecting from the lower portion of the block. This method of fastening the free end of the line avoids chafing of the line where it is attached to the hooks, and by having three points of anchorage, a pull or tensioning of the main line will tighten the hitched portions of the line. In this arrangement the greater the weight put on the main line the closer will the looped portion of the line grip the hooks, thereby positively avoiding displacement of the device relative to the line.
The invention is more fully described in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 represents a side elevation showing the device attached to a clothes line. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the line fastener on a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken along the line m a: of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of Fig. 2 the line having been removed.
In this drawing the letter a designates a clothes line which is passed about pulleys b mounted in blocks 0. These blocks can be attached to a wall or pole as is well known. The free ends of the line are secured together by means of a device consisting of a block (Z molded of malleable iron to form a single piece. The block is provided at one end with an eye e adapted for fastening one end of the line. The block is recessed as shown at f and in this recess is rotatively mounted a grooved pulley g. The forward upper portion it of the block is dome shaped in cross section so as to guide the line running from the pulley. This dome shaped portion keeps the rope in alinement with the pulley. At each side of the block is located a hook 1' both hooks comprising an integral part of the block. These hooks have vertically positioned shanks so that the line can be read ily passed therel'ietween. A hook j is located at the lower forward portion of the block.
The method of fastening the line to the device is as follows: The free end of the line is passed about the pulley 9, through the front of the block, around the forward portion of the block, and hitched about one of the side hooks, thence under the block as indicated at a, hitched to the other side hook, thence looped about the upper portion of the lower hook and hitched to the hook. The end of the line has a knot (6 to prevent the line when unhitched from the hooks from running off the pulley. In other words this knot will prevent the end of the line from being withdrawn from the device.
Particuhir attention is called to the fact that the holding and adjusting is accomplished by a combination of three simple twists of the rope, no jamming or clamping being necessary, the holding resulting from the tension brought to bear on the rope. The side hooks or lugs simply hold the rope in its proper place.
I claim:
1. In a clothes line fastener, the combination of a block having a securing eye at one of its ends and a recess intermediate its opposite ends, a pulley rotatively mounted in said recess, a guide loop rising from the forward end of said block, and rope end engaging hooks projecting from opposite sides and depending from the forward end of sand block.
2. In a clothes line fastener, the combina tion of a block having a securing eye at one of its ends and a recess intern'lediatc its opposite ends, a pulley rotatively mounted in said recess, a guide loop at the forward end of the block and projecting above the top of said recess, rope end engaging hooks projecting from opposite sides of the .lorward end of said block, and a hook depending from the forward end of the block and cooperative with the other of said. hooks to further secure the free end of a rope.
3. In a clothes line fastener, the combination of a block having a securing eye at one of its ends and a recess opening through the top and bottom faces intermediate the ends thereof, a pulley rotatively mounted in said Lie-5,15%
shank of said latter hook alining in a vertical plane intermediate the opposite edges of said guide loop.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
