CLOTHES PIN 0R CLAMP.
Specification of Lettersl'atent.
Patented Nov. 25, 1919.
Application filed January 3, 1919. Serial No. 269,408.
Clamps, of which the following is a speci--- fication.
My present invention relates generally to clothes pins and more particularly to a metal clamp to not only take the place of the ordinary wooden clothes pin, but to go materially beyond the same in use in so far as clasping qualities and durability, as well as convenience are concerned, my object being the provision of a simple, inexpensive and practically indestructible clamp, the details of which I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a side view showing the clamp in position preparatory to use;
Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating the clamp in operative position;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clamp, and,
-Fig. 4 is a front elevation thereof.
Referring now to these figures, myinvention proposes a clothes pin or clamp formed of a single volute section of a double strand of spring wire, the strands of which are indicated respectively at 10 and '11 and the free ends. of the section of wire being perinanently joined as by means of solder, welding and the like, as at 12. The bending of this section of double strand wire, preferably rust-proof wire, forms an oval shaped body 13, the end portions 14 and 15 of which overlap one another and are each given'a reverse curve as at 16, adjacent the extremity thereof. In this way each extremity of the volute section of wire curves outwardly beyond the limits of the body 13, so that either extremity may be readily slipped over a clothes line such as indicated at A in Figs. 1 and 2, and over a fabric B on the clothes line to clasp the clothes line and fabric between the end portions 14 and 15, as clearly indicated in Fig. 2, for which purpose the strands of the end portion 14 are spread or spaced apart to receive the end portion 15 therethrough.
By virtue of its durability, it is obvious that a clothes clamp of the nature of the present one may be left on the clothes line so as ,to be ready for convenient use at all times, and that in its use all danger of breakage with thick heavy goods such as blankets and the like is avoided.
By using a rust-proof wire all danger of marring or staining the clothes is likewise avoided, and its durability renders it greatly superior to the ordinary wooden clothes pin now used for the same purpose.
I claim A clothes pin or clamp of the character described, consisting of a single loop of spring wire embodying two strands, the ends of which terminate in approximately parallel lapping relation at one side of the PERCY TOWNLEY.
