Patented Jan. 8, 1924.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CLOTHESPIN.
Application filed April 26, 1923. Serial No. 634,723.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WAYNE A. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Greenfield, in the county of Franklin and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Clothespins, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of articles above named and an object of my invention, among others, is to provide a device of this class that shall be extremely strong and durable and that shall withstand the strains put upon it in use.
One form of a clothes-pin embodying my invention, and in the construction and use of which the objects herein set out, as well as others, may be attained, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in WlllCh-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a clothespin embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a view in cross section through the same on a plane passing through the pin at the point of location of the reinforcing band.
A type of clothes-pin in common use at the present time is one in which such pins are constructed of wood in a manner well known. This type of pin is popular from the fact that it may be constructed to sell at a low. cost. A serious objection, however, to the use of such pins is the tendency to split, owing to the strains put upon the pins either in attaching articles to a clothes line, or from the wind in swaying the articles to and fro.
By the use of my invention illustrated and described herein, I have provided a pin that will increase the cost of original pro duction to but a very slight extent, and, at the same time, the pin will be so reinforced as to successfully withstand all of the ordinary strains put upon it, either in attaching articles to a clothes line, or from the strains incident to the wind acting upon such articles upon the line.
In the drawings herein, the numeral 5 indicates the body of a clothes-pin of ordinary construction having a head 6, slot 7, and branches 8, such slot and branches forming a crotch 9.
In adapting my invention to a clothes-pin of this sort, I provide a band or ring 10 that encircles the pin at a point in proximity to the crotch 9. This band is shown herein as being flat, and I preferably construct it of brass, but it will be understood that such band or ring need not be necessarily flat, neither is it required to be constructed of brass, although a ring or band 'thus constructed is preferred by me. A spur 11 is integrally formed on one end of the band as by bending the latter, and said spur is forced into a slot or incision 12 made in the body of the pin.
In securing this reinforcing member in place the spur 11 is inserted in the slot or incision 12 and the band is then drawn tightly around the body of the pin and the end 13 is secured to the outer surface of the main part of the band by soldering,
In accordance with the provisions of the other end of said member and said other end being secured to the outer surface of the spurred end by a fusing operation.
2. A clothes-pin composed of wood and including a body with branches projecting therefrom, and a metal band having a spur at one end to engage within an incision inthe material of the pin underneath the other and free end of said band, and said other end overlapping the spurred end and being secured directly to its outer surface by a fusing operation.
WAYNE A. MARTIN.
