application flied. December 22, 1917. Serial no. 208,416.
ful Improvements in Clothes-Line Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings.
'lhis inventlon comprehends certain new a and useful improvements in devices designed to be attached to clothes lines so as to suspend clothes therefrom, and the inven tion has for its primary object a simple, durable, and eficient device of this character, which will increase the capacity of the clothes line to which it is attached, so that twice the number of garments or' similar pieces of wearing apparel, bedding or the like, can be suspended from the line.
'lfhe invention has for an object to provide a device of this character which can be very easily attached to a wire or rope clothes line and readily detached therefrom, and stored away when not desired for use, so that it will not have to be lefton the line where it will be exposed to the action of the elements.
And the invention also aims to generally improve devices of this class so as to render tlem more useful and commercially desira le.
With these and other objects in view, as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions, arrangements and combinations of the parts that we shall hereinafter more fully describe and claim.
For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which 4 Figure 1 is a side view of our improved double clothes pin.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view, and
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are perspective views, showing the formation of the clamping portions of the device.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in all of the views of the accompanying drawing by like reference characters.
Referring to the drawings, the numerals 1 and 2 designate complemental members or bars which are preferably made of wood, although. any other desired substances or materials may be used, said members being jointed togethenat one end by means of a hinge 4:, the leaves of which are fastened to corresponding faces of said bars. At their adjoining ends the members or bars 1 and 2 are formed with corresponding transversely extending grooves 4, of varying sizes, and of any desired number, said grooves, when the two bars 1 and 2 are disposed in longitudinal alinement with each other, forming openings to receive the wire or rope clothes line, one of these openings being preferably smaller than the other, and the smaller opening being designed to fit a wire line and the larger opening a rope line. In order to hold the bars in alinement with each pther, and to detachably secure the device upon the line we have provided a spring latch 5 which is in the form of a bar secured to one of the members and desied to ex tend over the other one, the free end of the bar 5 being doubled upon itself to produce a laterally extending lug 6 and the extremity of the latch bar 5 being pointed outward at an oblique angle to form a finger piece 7, the lug 6 being designed to snap into a socket 8 formed in the other member of the device.
Each of the members 1 and 2 is formed at its outer end with a preferably serrated or roughened jaw 9, desi ed to coact with a corresponding jaw 10 formed on one end of a clamp 11, said clamp being pivotally mounted as shown and urged toward a closed position by means of a spring 12.
' From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, the
operation of our improved clothes suspending device will be apparent. lln the practical use of the device, it is opened and closed upon the line, the lug 6 of the latch bar 5 snapping into the socket 8 as hereinbefore mentioned, so as to detachably secure the device upon the line with the members 1 and 2 in longitudinal alinement with each other. 'llhereupon, as is manifest, the clothes may be attached to either one or both sets of jaws 9 and 10, and thus the capacity of the clothes line equipped with devices of this character, will be at least doubled.
It will thus be seen that we have prepared a very simple, durable and efficient construction of clothes line attachment, and one which will not be liable to get out of order.
While the accompanyin drawing illustrates what we believe to e thepreferred embodiment of our invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto but that various changes may be made in the construction,arrangement and ipTroportions of the parts without departing om the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
As a new article of manufacture, the herein-described clothes line attachment, comprising complemental members jointed together at one end and provided in their adoining ends with a plurality of transverse grooves of varying sizes, for the purpose specified, a spring latch pivotally secured to one of said members and designed to extend over the other one, the latter being formed with a socket and the latch bar being formed with a laterally projecting lug receivable in said socket to hold said members in longitudinal alinement with each other, said members being formed at their outer ends with jaws, and spring-pressed clamping members carried by the outer ends of the first-named members and formed with jaws designed to co-act with the first-named jaws.
In testimony whereof we hereunto afiix our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
