Specification of Letters Patent.
7 CLOTHES-PIN.
Application filed November 2, 1914. Serial No. 869,896.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it .knbwn that .I, EMERY N. DE Force, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winooski, in the county of Chittenden, State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pins; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it' appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in clothes pins.
One object of the invention is to provide a resilient clothespin which will effectively grip the clothes and line.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which is strong and durable, and which can be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is 'a perspective View of my improved clothes pin and Fig; 2 is an elevation offifedevice showing the position of the same when clamping clothes on a line.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents a pair of jaw members, the lower ends of which are turned outwardly and upwardly as indicated at .11. Disposed on each side of the jaw members are the bowed spring members 12 and'13, the upper ends of said spring members and the upper ends of the jaw members all being secured together by means of the rivet 14.
The lower ends of the smaller bowed springs 12 engage the outer taces of the aw mem- Coples 0! this patent may be obtained for bers at a point approximately midway of the length of said jaw members while the corresponding ends of the larger bowed springs are disposed within'the turned up ends of the jaw members; All of these springs exert inward pressure against .the jaw members to hold them firmly together, the turned up portions of the jaws providing an entrance 15 for the clothes and line. As the line is forced up between the jaws, the jaws are forced apart, but when the line is passed above the points where the smaller springs engage the jaws, the said jaws will bow outward slightly, by reason of the fact that the said smaller bowed springs will force the jaws inwardly at points below the line. The device is thus firmly held to the line and will not be accidentally displaced.
l/Vhat is claimedis:
A clothes pin comprising a pair of jaw members having their lower ends turned outwardly and upwardly. larger and smaller bowed springs disposed on opposite sides of the jaws, the upper ends of the springs and jaws being secured together, the lower ends of the smaller springs bearing against and exerting inward pressure on the intermediate portions of the jaws,- the lower ends of the larger bowed springs being disposed within the upturned portions of the jaws and exerting inward pressure against said lower ends.
In testimony whereof, I afiik my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
EMERY DE FORCE.
