Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 20, 1920.
Application filed August 5, 1918. Serial No. 248,372.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BERTHA A. 'Bmoens, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leesville, in the county of Lexington, State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes- .pins and I do hereby declare the following particularly of that type formed of a single length of wire bent' to provide a pair of gripping loops adapted to receive therebetween a clothes line and article to beheld thereon.
It is in general the object of the invention to simplify and otherwise improve the structure of clothes pins of this type, and it is more particularly the object to provide an arrangement insuring a maximum gripping action of the jaws or loops of the clothes proved clothes pin.
' Fig. 2 is an edge elevational'view thereof. Q
Fi 3 is a sectional view therethrough on the hne 3-3 of Fig.1.
Fig. 4is a side elevational view of the clothes pin.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the improved "clothes pin is formed of a single length of wire bent to providetwo oval coils or loops 5 and 6 respectively the loop 6 having its major and minor diameters both, smaller than those of the loop 5.
Theends of the wire meet at one side of the pin adjacent its end which is uppermost in operation' and said ends andthe'loops are secured together at this point by twisting the ends at 7 about the adjacent intermediate stretch of the wire, which extends in one direction from this connection to form what.
might be called the inner side 8 of the larger or outer loopn5 and extends in the other direction to form the normally upper end of the smaller or inner loop 6.
particularly pointed out.
. tween the loop sides ad ment.
' What is claimed is 9 The other or outer side 9 of the loop 5 is given a twist to produce a small loop or eye 10 standing in a horizontal plane when the planes of the main loops are substantially vertical, and this eye projects out of the plane of its loop 5 toward the plane of the other loop 6, although it is adapted to pass it because the loop 5 is larger than the loop 6 and hence the eye is more remote from the connection 7 at the inner sides of the loops than is the outer side of the smaller loop 6. The loop 5 is also provided with a bent portion 11 below the convolutions bowed in the same direction. The eye 10 forms a stop shoulder for engagement with a clothes line inserted between the loops from below, and the bent portion 11 forms a hump coacting with said shoulder to receive the line between them.
Thus, in the applicationof the clothes pin,
a clothes line and article to.be held thereon are inserted between the lower ends of the loops, this insertion being facilitated by the extension of the loop 5 below the loop 6. The outer side of the pin :is then forced downwardly over the line and article until the line abuts the stop shoulder 10. With this stop shoulder is a fulcrum, the pin may then be rocked downwardly to firmly wedge the line between the inner sides of the loops, the line being held from displacement be- 'acent the shoulder by the bowed portion'll. 1
An exceedingly simple and durable clothes pin hasthus been provided which-ma be applied to a. clothes line and article eld thereon in a most ready and convenient manner and insuring a firm and positive secure- The herein described clothes pin comprising a pair of wire loops of different size rigidly connected at one side to lie normally inparallel planes, one 100 at its free side formed with a stop shoul er standing in a plane transverse to this loop and projecting toward the other loop and with a hump ad- I jacent said shoulder and coacting therewith to hold a clothes line, as set forth.
In testimony whereof, aflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.

' Mrs. M. E. ABLE,
