Filed Sept, 29, 1922 INVENTOR ATTORN EY WITNESS:
Patented .ian. 13, 1925.
WALTER C. GRUSS, 0F PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
STOCKING CLASP.
Application filed September 29, 1922. Serial No. 591,357.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER C. Games, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stocking Clasps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to clamps, and aims to provide a device especially designed to hold together a pair of stockings or the like in a folded condition, the clamp being very simple in construction, and capable of being manufactured and sold at a very nominal cost.
In the drawingforming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein: 1
Figure 1 is a View in elevation of the clamp showing the manner of using the same.
' Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view looking at the inner face of one of the clamping sections.
Fi ure L is a fragmentary sectional view of a inodified form of the invention.
The clamp as illustrated comprises two identically constructed sections indicated at 10 and 11 respectively, the sections being formed with cars 12 arranged in overlapped relation, and connected by means of a pivot 13. The upper extremities of the respective sections are curved toward each other, and are also overlapped as clearly shown in Figure 2, these extremities indicated at 14 defining with the ears 12 a housing for the spring 15. This spring surrounds the pivot 13 and is utilized to normally maintain the sections 10 and 11 in clamping relation. Each section is provided with an inturned portion 16 beneath which the adjacent terminal of the spring is arranged, and in this manner, the sections are connected with the spring for the purpose above mentioned. As
illustrated in Figure 3, the inturned portion is in the nature of a small lug.
In Figure 4, I have illustrated a modified construction, which varies from the preferred form of the invention in that the inturned portion 17, instead of being in the nature of a lug as shown in Figure 3, is similar to a head which extends about the edge of the particular section 18, and beneath which the adjacent terminal of the spring is arranged. Otherwise, this form of the invention is the same as the preferred form. The clamp is primarily intended for use with stockings, socks or the like, and adapted to hold said articles in a folded condition, so that they can be properly arranged in a bureau drawer or the like, the clamp being illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 as being used in this capacity. It is to be understood however, that a general application of the clamp is contemplated by the claim.
While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.
What I claim is A clamp of the character described comprising two identically connected sections, angularly disposed ears projecting from said sections and overlapped, a pivot connecting said ears to permit said sections to be moved toward and away from each other, a spring surrounding said pivot and associated with said sections for normally holding them in clamped relation, and the adjacent ends of said sections being curved and arranged in overlapped contacting relation to provide with said ears a housing for said spring.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
WALTER o. Gauss.
