Be it known thatI,
The general object of the invention is to provide a very simple and ellectlve clothes.- pin of this character wherein a passage, is
made between the jaws of the clothespins for' the line and the edges of which are pro- I vided with a groove and confronting-tooth whereb the article will be more firmly grippe than is usually the case.
A further object is to improve upon the s rin which causes the two elements of pm to be held together.
' A still further object is to provide means for locking the line .within the-pin and preventing any accidental detachment of the pin from the line. I
Other objects will appear in the cour oi the following description. I lMy invention is illustrated in th panying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is an end elevation of a clothes vention; Figure 2 is 'an inside iace view of one of the members of the clothespin;
Figure 3 is a. perspective view of one'of the two members of the clothespin;
Fi re 4 is a pers ective view of the other mem r of the clot espin; I
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the spring. Referring to this drawing, 10 and 11 pin constructed in accordance with my in designate the two sections or members of the pin, thesemembers at-their upper ends provi ed upon its inside face'with an=-outbeing beveled upon theirlinside faces, as at 12. At the intersection of these twobeveled faces 12, the inside faces of the members 10 and 11 are transversely recessed so that togather the two members define a clothes line passa 13. One of the jaw members 10 is e accom- Wardly= projecting rectangular-tooth 14,
.whlle the other member is provided with a recess-15 with which this tooth normally engages. I
The two members ofthe'pin are held in; resilient engagement with eachother by a spring consistingof a transverse portion 16-which passes through conjoined recesses in. the confronting faces of the pin below the passage 13, then that portion of the pin is bent into a voluce, as at 17, and extended downward and laterally, as at 18, and then transversely, as at 19, so as to engage against the ,outer face of the corres' 'aonding, clothespin jaw. This spring acts to hold the two sections 10 and 11 of the clothespin in engagement with: each other and yet permits.
the jaws to 'beopened by inching inward on the. beveled ends of the c othespin. When it is desired to insertthis' clothespin upon a line,'the beveled ends" are pulled outward, the jaw members fulcrumed at their lower ends, and the pin may then be inserted upon the line.
In order to prevent any accidentalfde tachment of the pin from the.line, I provide the transverse metallic pin 20 which extends through aligned passages 20" in the jaw members just above the passage 13 and which, while permitting an opening move- I ment of the jaw members, will prevent the pinfrom dropping off a clothes line when .the jaw members are wedged apart at their upper' ends. The-downward strain upon the clothespin often causes the line to wedge the upper end of the clothespin open and this would cause the pin to drop oil? the clothes line were. it not for the locking pin20.
In the useof this device and in order to string the clothespin upon a-line, the looking pin" 20 is removed, the upper ends of the clothespin are then pressed apart or forced apartby forcing the clothespin upward against the line,-which causes" the and then'the clothespin is-.u sed in t e manr ngathat ordinary spring. jclothaepmsfare,
