Application filed September 23, 1915.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT G. SMIsEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lesueur Center, in the county of Lesueur, in the State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pins, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in clothes pins or holders, and its object is to produce a clothes pin that is cheap to manufacture, efficient in operation, that may hold one or more garments at a time, and that is reversible.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in the following specification, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which forms apart of said specification and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved clothes pin in use. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the device in altered position.
Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
My improved clothes pin comprises a straight piece of wire or similar material 1 which serves as an anchor post, and another piece of Wire bent to form the oppositely disposed curved vertical arms 2, 3, each of which at its relatively adjacent end is curved outwardly or humped as at 4. The material from the humped portions of the arms 2, 3 is extended or looped about the anchor 1 as at 5 and another loop 6 formed centrally of this piece of material passes about the extension of the arms 2, 3, and merges into the said loops 5 thus slidably Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 3Q, 1916..
Serial No. 52,257.
securing the second piece of material to the anchor 1.
The clothes line 7 is engaged by the pin between the humped portion of either arm 2 or 3 and the anchor 1, the curved arm and anchor being manually forced about the clothes line. The garment 8 to be hung is inserted between the free end of either arm 2 or 3 and the anchor 1 and frictionally retained in adjusted position. Each of the arms 2, 8 may retain one or more garments against the anchor. The garment may be released by a sudden jerk, when desired, or by manually forcingthe arm 2 or 3 away from the anchor.
What is claimed is 1. In a clothes pin, an anchor, oppositely disposed curved vertical arms formed of a single piece of material, said arms being extended to encircle said anchor, and a loop, formed by a continuation of said arms, encompassing the extended portions of said arms whereby they are slidably secured to said anchor.
2. In a clothes pin, an anchor formed of a straight piece of material, oppositely disposed curved vertical arms formed of a single piece of material and humped at their adjacent portions, said arms being extended to encircle said anchor, and a loop, formed by a continuation of said arms, encompassing the extended portions of said arms whereby they are slidably secured to said anchor.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixed by signature in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
