BEN WRIGHT, OF BLACKSHEAB, GEORGIA.
CLOTHES-PIN.
Specification of Letters Yatent.
Patented Mar. 18, 1919.
Application filed September 25, 1916. Serial No. 122,025.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BEN WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Blackshear, in the county of Pierce, State of Georgia, 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, and particularly to wire clothes pins.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple device of this character which will be comparatively cheap to manufacture, and which will be effective in operation to hold the clothes.
Another object is to provide a clothes pin which may or may not be left on the clothes line as desired.
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 front elevation of my clothes pin in operation.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the device.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 44 of Fig. 1.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings A represents a substantially U- shaped member formed of comparatively heavy wire. and includes the arms 10 and the connecting curved bight portion 11. The upper end of each of the arms 10 .is formed with an eye 12. Slidable through the eyes are the arms 13 of an inverted U-shaped member B, the upper ends of said arms being connected by a curved bight portion 14. The lower end portions of the arms 13 di verge, as shown, and have connected totheir extremities a transverse bar 15, this bar being disposed against the arms 10 of the member A in clamping relation thereto. The member A is slightly bowed longitudinally, as clearly seen in the side elevation.
The clothes line 16 is passed transversely between the arms -10 of the member A and the arms 13 of the member B, whereby the clothes pin is held on the line. The member B is adapted to be slipped up and down through the eyes 12 so that the transverse bar 15 and the divergent portions of the arms 13 will securely clamp one corner of an article between the members A and B at their lower ends. The article is first thrown over the line 16, one corner being then drawn in between the lower portions of the members A and B, and then the member B pushed down. The fact that the member A is curved longitudinally and that the convex portion is disposed away from the member 7 B causes the bar 15 to gradually increase the tension between it and the member A when said member B is pushed down.
From the foregoing, it will readily be seen that I have provided a simple and cheap device of this character and one which will effectively hold articles on a clothes line.
The device may be used somewhat in the manner of the ordinary clothes pin, in which case it is not left to remain on the line, but is manipulated over the line and article and then the member B pushed down as before, the article being firmly clamped between the lower ends of the members A and B.
What is claimed is A clothes pin comprising a longitudinally bowed member including spaced arms having a connecting bight portion at one end and having eyes at their opposite ends, and a second correspondingly bowed member including spaced arms slidably and frictionally engaged through said eyes and having a connecting bight portion at one end, the opposite end portions of the last named arms extending away from the eyes between and beyond the arms of the first member, and a transverse bar connecting the extremities of said last-named arms and slidably and frictionally engaged by the arms of the first member in clamping relation thereto.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in thepresence of two witnesses.
Witnesses:
A. I. HENDRY, W. J. CRIBB.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. 6.
