Hm N 1 1. AV.
UNITED STATES SIMEON BENEDICT LUCAS, OF HINSDALE, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-PINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,311, dated April 2, 1872.
To whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SIMEON B. LUCAS, of Hinsdale, in the county of Uattaraugus and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Self-Lockin g Clothes- Pin; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked there ries on the lines while drying; and has for its object to provide such clips with a device for locking them fast to the line. The invention consists in inserting awedge between the arms of the clip, which is connected with said arm by elastic cords or springs, as more fully hereinafter set forth. 7
In the drawing, A A represent the two wooden bars of a spring-clip, hinged together at a, with the inner faces hollowed out at b b to form the well-known clothespin, with the exception of the spiral spring between the arms,
which is dispensed with. The inner face of each arm has formed in it a groove, 0, to re ceive and guide a feather, d, on each edge or side of a wedge, B, which is shaped to just fill the space between said arms when the points of the clip touch eaeh'other. The wedge has a hole bored longitudinally through its center, through which is passed the bight of an elastic cord, 6, secured by a toggle, f, at the top of the wedge. The ends of this cord are secured to the parts A after being strained sufficiently to draw the wedge home to crowd the arms apart and the jaws together, so that when the latter embrace the line the wedge will prevent them from being forced apart and thus lock the pin on the line.
To remove the device from the line, the operator seizes the arms with the thumb and fore-finger of one hand, and the wedge in like manner with the other; then, by drawing out the wedge, the arms may be compressed and the pin removed.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, with the parts A A, hinged together as shown, of the wedge B and elastic cord 0, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
SIMEON BENEDICT LUCAS.
