UNTTED sTATns PATENT onrrc JAS. SADGEBURY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
CLOTHES-CLAMP.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 13,7654, dated November 6, 1855;
To all whom if may concern: j
Be it known that I, JAMES SADGEBURY, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Machine for Holding or Fastening Clothes on a Line, called a Clothes-Clamp and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the clamp, showing the cam or button D in a horizontal position. Fig. 2 is a front view in perspective of the clamp with the cam or button D changed to a vertical position. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the back of the clamp. Figs. t and 5 are perspective views of the clamp showing the manner in which it is attached to the line. Fig. 6 is designed to illustrate the manner in which the clamps may be cut out of a board with great facility, as hereinafter described. Figs. 7 and S are front and back profiles of the clamp as cut from the board, Fig. 6. Fig. 9 is a front perspective view of the clamp as cut from the board; the button being omitted.
A and B are the two arms with the iiukes or projections in front, between which and the button or cam D when in a horizontal position the line is inserted. On the under part of the lukes or projections A and B, a groove is cut to receive the line, and also on the end of the button or cam D.
F, Fig. t, is the clothes line.
E is the screw which secures thebutton or cam D, and is the axis of the cam.
To enable others to make and use my invention for holding or fastening clothes on a line I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I shape a piece of wood or other substance into a form somewhat resembling the letter V, the distance from one extremity of the arms to the other, being about 2 or three inches and from top to bottom about one inch, and about three quarters of an inch in thickness. At the top or extremities of each arm in front, is a projection A, and B, forming part of the clamp and of suiiicient size to catch the line, say about half an inch so that the V may be hung or suspended on the line by these two projections. Near the lower point of the V and at an equal distance from the two flakes or projections at the extremities of the arms, is attached by means of a screw (Elor a rivet, a button or cam D which is of such a shape and attached insuch a manner that when placed horizontally sufficient space may intervene between it and the two lukes or projections as to admit the line F, Fig. 4, and that when turned to a vertical position as represented in Fig. 2 it may catch the line and force it up between the lukes or projections, so that the arms may press upon the line with suiicient force to retain the clothes (the ends or edges of which are put between them and the line) in their position. On the face of the end of the button or cam a groove is cut to receive the line. A groove is also cut on the underpart of the two flukes or projections A and B Jfor the same purpose. The operation of this clamp is very simple. The line is introduced between the two projections, and the button when in a horizontal position, the button being below the line and the linkes above. The edge or end of the clothes is put between the arm of the clamp and the line, on either side, which presses upon the clothes when the button is turned to a perpendicular position, pushing the line up.
Though somewhat modilied in form, it will be perceived that the clamp Fig. 9, is substantially the same as Fig. l, the bottom being omitted for greater perspicuity. In
this form the clamps may be made with great rapidity in t-he following manner. I take a board of about three quarters of an inch in thickness, and draw parallel lines on one side of it; one inch from each other. At right angles to these lines I draw other parallel lines across them one inch apart, so that the entire side of the board is divided into square inches. On the irst horizontal line I bore holes through the board with a three quarter inch auger or bit, two inches from each other at the point where every alternate line crosses it, commencing at the second perpendicular line. On the second horizontal line I bore a hole through the board, an inch and a half, in diameter, at every alternate line that crosses it, commencing at the first perpendicular line. On
the same line (the second horizontal) then use a two inch auger and bore between the inch and a half holes, at the intersection of the lines, about half way through the board.
.On the third line I use the three quarter inch auger as at first, and on the fourth line the one and a half and tWo inch augers, and so on till all the holes are bored. A straight saw cut through every horizontal line and through every alternate perpendicular line separates the clamps. If the different angers Were arranged to bore at once, the previous marking of the board Would be dispensed with.
Having thus described my machine With its manner of operation I Will now proceed to state What I believe to be new, useful, and of my invention.
I do not claim as my invention the mechanical principle involved in the operation of this clothes clamp as it is Well knovvn, nor
