y Letters Patent No. 110,649,1iated January 3, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-PINS.
i The `Schedulereferred to in these Letters Patent and' mal-sing part' of the same.
To all whom 'it may concern:
.Be it known that I, GEORGE ALFRED HARRIS, of 1Bnchanamin the county of Berrien and State of Michigan, have invented a new and 4improved Clothes- Pin; andjI 4do hereby declare that'the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to improvements in clothespins; and
It consists in two pieces of wood or other substance pivoted together at'or .near the center, and provided with an 'India-rubber .spring between the pivot, and one end having a hole through it in the lengthwise direction of the'said pieces, which' are grooved,.and the joint is so formed that the clothes-linel may be passed through in the said direction, and the pieces will be clamped upon it at one end by the spring, all as hereinafter described.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the pin on the line a; x'of'iig. 2, showing the mannerof applying it to the line in the lengthwise direction, and
Figure 2is a section through the long axis in a plane perpendicular to the section of lig. l, showing the manner of suspending it onv'the line by passing the latter between the spring and the pivot-joint.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding partsv A and B represent the two wood ouother pieces of the pin, which are pivoted together' side by sideA by ears C on one, and a pivot-pin, D, and they have an India-rubber or other equivalent spring, E, pressed in between them at one side of the pivot to force the other ends together.
The said pieces are grooved on the sides which clamp together or upon the rope to hold it properly between them. l
The spring has a hole to let the -line pass through it, and it is intended to bind snugly so as not to slip.`
These pins may be placed on the line, as represented in iig. 1, to clamp the clothes between the jaws and the rope, or they may be strung on it bypassing the line between the spring and the pivot, as shown in iig. 2, and hold the clothes between the jaws. V
In either case these pins will turn 'on the line, in case the clothes are 'carriedover it by the wind, and thereby save twisting the clothes upon the line.
I The said pins may also be used in the waythe ordinary pins are, that is, by inserting the line with the clothes on it between the jaws below the pivot.
They may alsobe used as .clampsfor elarnpingand holding papers together. Y
v Having thus described my invention,
Lolam as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl rllhe improved clothes-pin, consisting ofthe two parts A B, pivoted together by the ears O, and pin D, and the spring E, the said parts A B having the grooved sides, all substantially as specified.
` GEORGE ALFRED HARRIS.
