CLOTHESPIIN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 6, 1921.
Application filed May 5, 1921. Serial No. 466,871.
thereof.
My invention has for its object to provide a simple, economical and effective clothes-pin, the same being primarily composed of fibrous material such as wood, whereby it can be cheaply manufactured, and owing to its composition, it will not tend to corrode, rust or otherwise mar clothin which is attached by it to a line.
provide a clothes-pin primarily composed of a single strip of wood, bent upon itself, and confined by arivet or pin, which rivet or pin passes through a filler block.
With the above objecm in view, the invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts, as
are hereinafter set forth and subsequently claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a clothes-pin embodying the features 'of my invention, parts being broken away and in section to more clearly illustrate the details of construction.
Fig. 2 is a sectional face view of the same, the section being indicated by line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3'is a side elevation of a blank from which the body of the pin is formed.
Referring by characters to the drawings, with particular reference to Fig. 3, the blank is composed of a single strip of wood having the ends tapered, as indicated at 1, and at the center of the blank, a V-shaped transverse channel 2 is formed to thus due to the companion beveled faces 1, whereby a throat is formed for conven- 'iently inserting the pin over clothes supported by a line.
The shank 4 of the gripping legs is thus U-shaped and a filler block 5 is inserted between the legs, as best shown in Fig. 2, but is fitted snugly within the crotched recesses, the block being practically composed of leather or analogous material. After the block is inserted in position, the same is clamped to the legs by a rivet or pin 6 which passes through the nested parts, whereby they are firmly held against spreading or warping. It is understood that after the blank has been bent and the pin thus formed, it can be soaked in oil so as to resist weather conditions, and materially lengthen its life I'he specific object of my invention is to Obviously, there is sufficient spring in the legs to permit a firm grip upon the articles to which it is applied, and owing to its simple construction, such clothes-pin can be sold to the trade at a minimum cost, and the particular advantage is that they will not slab or split under ordinary usage, as is the case where wooden clothes-pins are formed by turning.
We claim:
1; As. a new article of manufacture, a clothes-pin composed of a single strip of wood having the fiber running in the direction of its length, the strip being folded upon itself to form gripping legs, a filler block inserted within the crotch of the legs, and a pin for securing the block and legs together.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a clothes-pin formed from a single strip of wood having the fiber running lengthwise, the strip being grooved centrally and folded upon itself to form legs, a filler block fitted into the folded crotch against the groove, and a rivet for securing the filler block and legs together.
n testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
CHARLES SCI-IROEDER.
