PATENT VINOENT D. URSO AND BENJAMIN CHARLES, OF EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-PINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,740, dated August 12, 1873; application filed May 7, 1873.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, VINCENT D. URSO and BENJAMIN CHARLES, of Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg and in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful- Improvements in Clothes -Pin; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a clothes-pin, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to de scribe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, which represents a longitudinal section of our clothes-pin.
A A represent the two jaws of our clothespin, each jaw formed with a handle, B, and the two parts connected by a single bent spring, 0. This spring is originally in the form of a U, and bent completely around or reversed when the ends of the spring are inserted and held in notches on the handles at b I), as shown in the drawing, and the spring further secured to each handle by a screw, a; By thisreversing or bending the U-shaped spring its power is greatly increased, so as to give the desired force of gripe, and. the spring at the same time acts as its own fulcrum or central power. In each jaw A is formed a semicircular recess, d, so that when said jaws are forced together by thc action of the spring 0,
a round hole will be formed, of sufficient size to fit over the clothes-line. Below this hole, in one of the jaws A, is inserted a piece'of rubber, h, which projects beyond said jaw and into a recess, 1;, made in the other jaw. The outer end of this rubber piece his toothed, as shown.
With the clothes-pin thus constructed, the clothes may be placed on the line and held by the pin, or held by the rubber tooth it below the line. The. goodsin either case will not come in contact with the metal, and hence cannot becometarnished or soiled, and the rubber t fi h being flexible it will not rend or tear 133M5 1" 7 Having thus fugllyfgdescribed our invention, what we claim as n'ew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination with a clothes-pin having two jaws forced together by a single spring, a rubber tooth inserted in one jaw, and fitting in a recess on the other, substantially for the purposes herein set forth.
2. The within-described clothes-pin, consisting of the jaws AA with handles B B, the spring (3, hole d, rubber tooth h, and recess '5, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereuntoset our hands this 17th day of April, 1873.
