; UNITED a STATES LOUIS 1v. oswann, or ORLEANS, NEBRASKA.
CLOTHESPIN.
Application filed January 10, 1922. Serial No. 528,241.
To all 'LU ham it may concern. 7
Be it known that I, Louis N. OswALn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Or leans, in the county of Harlan and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothespins, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in clothes pins.
One object of my invention is to provide a device of this kind which may be made from a single continuous piece of steel spring wire and is therefore very simple, durable and economical in construction. a
A further object of my invention is to provide a clothes pin which has two adjustments for small and large articles or garments and may be easily and readily applied or removed.
With the foregoing and other objects in view that will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts illustrated in the drawings and more particularly pointed outin the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, in which i made for holding small articles or garments.
Referring to the drawings for a more particular description of my invention and which drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are therefore not drawn to scale, the letter A design-ates my improved clothes pin, as a whole, B the clothes line and C the article or garment fastened to the clothes line by the pin.
The clothes pin is constructed from a single continuous piece of steel spring wire bent at one end to form a horizontal approximately rectangular frame 2 with longer and shorter U-shape loops 3 and 4 and having its remaining portion bent centrally upon itself to form the V-shape body portion 5, consisting of the vertically disposed downwardly diverging legs 6 and 7. It will be noted that the lower end of leg 6 is rigidly connected with the adjacent end of the keeper frame 2 by the clip or hook 6 while the lower end of leg 7 is free and provided with a hook 9, adapted to engage the outer end of either of the loops 3 and 4.
In practice, to apply the device, the hook 9 is first dlsengaged from the slot a or b' of the longer or shorter loop, as the case may be, by springing the lower free end of the small articles, such as tea towels or hand kerchiefs, the hook 9 of leg 7 is engaged with the shorter loop 4 and for larger articles or garments with the longer loop 3, the purpose of which will be apparent.
It will be noted that the upper portions of the legs 6 and 7 are corrugated as at 8, to enable the clothes pin to more securely engage the garment.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawing, it is thought that the construction, operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportions and. minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is
1. A clothes pin constructed from a single continuous piece of wire having one end bent to form a horizontal keeper frame with longer and shorter parallel loops and its re maining portion bent to form a V-shaped body portion, the lower end of one leg of which is free and adapted to engage either of the loops of said frame.
2. A clothes pin constructed froma single continuous piece of wire having one end bent to form a horizontal approximately rectangular keeper frame with longer and shorter parallel loops and a V-shaped body portion with downwardly diverging legs, the
upper portions of said legs being corrugated, and the lower end of one leg adapted to engage either of the loops of said frame.
3. A clothes pin constructed from a single continuous pieee of steel spring wire, comprising a horizontal approximately rectangular keeper frame with longer and shorter parallel loops and a V-shaped body portion r
