lmprovement in Clothes Pins.
Patented March 26,!872.
UNITED STATEs PATENT UFFICE.
ROBERT w. HUSTON, or WASHINGTON, DISTRICT on COLUMBIA.
IMPROVEMENT INCLOTHES-PINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,955, dated March 26, 1872.
Be it known that I, ROBERT W. HUsToN, of Washington, in the county of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented a new and Improved GlothesPin; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference icing had to the accompanying drawing maklng part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective'view, representing two of the improved clothes-pins holding a cloth on a line. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one ofthe clothes-pins. Fig. 3 is a section taken longitudinally through the pin. Fig. 4 shows a modification.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures. y
This invention rel tes to clothes-pins which are especially designed for being permanently applied to clothes-lines, and which will admit of ready adjustment thereon. It consists in a clothespin, which is made of a single piece, having a longitudinally-periorated head and two spring griping-jaws, as will be hereinafter explained.
The following description of my invention will enable others skilled in the art to understand it.
In the accompanying drawing, A represents the head or stock of the pin. a a are the curved spring-j aws thereof, and b is an opening, which is made through the longest axis of the pin, for receiving the line 0, as shown in Fig. 3. This pin is made of one piece of wood or other suitable material, which will afford proper elasticity to the griping-jaws and enable them to gripe and hold firmly articles upon the line, as shown in Fig. 1, wherein B represent an article which is held by two of the pins.
Proper flexibility is given to the curved jaws a a by reducing the thickness of the material; and, if desirable, their inner griping surfaces may be grooved so as to embrace the line 0, as shown in Fig. 3. g Y
I am aware that a clothes-pin in the form of a split-sheath or tube is notnew also, that a pin which is composed of two parts, pivoted to gether and perforated to receive a line through it longitudinally, is not new; also, that a pin .having gripingjaws on one end and a hole transversely through its other end is not new and these devices I do not claim.
I have invented a clothes-pin which is composed of a single piece, having lateral spring griping-jaws and a hole passing longitudinally through a solid head, thus combining strength, durability, and cheapness with facility of manipnlation and manufacture.-
Witnesses J N. CAMPBELL, J. R. MARTIN.
