Description
Patented May 5, 1925 "UNI TED S 'l' dORItS HAUSMAN, 0F SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
CLOTHESLINE.
Application filed october 5, 1922. Serial No. 592,592.
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MORRIS HAUSMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Clothesline, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in clothes lines and has foi-,its prime object to provide a clothes line at spaced intervals with a pivoted clamp for securing clothes on the line without the aid of the usual clothes pins.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a clothes line with spaced clamping members that are permanently carried by the line for instant use and which will eliminate the possibility of the clothes falling oil ot the line due to the old fashioned wooden clothes pins becoming disengaged from the line and clothes.
And a still further object of my invention is to provide a clothes line with spaced `clamping members, that can be removed from the line when necessary, as would be the case should the line become rotten arid unfit for further use due to elements of the weather.
And a still further object of my invention is to provide a clothes line of the above 'indicated character, which is simple in construction, durable, efficient for the purpose intended, and one that can be manufactured and placed on sale at a relatively low cost.v
rlhese and like objects of the invention will be better understood as the description follows and as is specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and which clearly illustrates the construction of my improved clothes line,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a clothes line constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2 2 of Figure l.
Figure 3 is an enlarged section of a portion ci. the clothes line, showing the means employed for fastening the clamping mem-- bers thereto.
Figure 4 is a sectiontaken on line 44l of Figure l, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the clamping members detached from the line.
lReferring to the accompanying drawing in detail, lilie characters will be used to designate like parts in the different views.
ln the drawing, the numeral l indicates a portion of a clothes line, which is constructed of twisted wire strands of the usual form.
Pivotally mounted at spaced intervals on the `line l are clamping members 2 for firmly securing and holding clothes on the line l when same is in use. The clamping` members 2 are so shaped as to conform to the curvature of the line l, and are provided at one end with ears 3, the purpose et which will be better understood as the description follows.
ln order to mount the clamps 2 on the line for pivotal movement so that clothes may be inserted between the clamps and the line, a metal ferrule 4l is inserted through the strands of the line l and a bolt or other fastening means 5 passes through openings formed in the ears 3 and the. metal ferrule l, so that the clamping members 2 may freely move on the pivoted bolt 5.
ln order to secure a frictional clamping action between the inner face 6 of the clamp 2 and the line l, the outer walls of the clamping member along each lower edge are provided with depressions 7 which form ridges 8 on the inner face 6.
In view of the foregoing description of my invention taken in connection with the accompanyingl drawing, it is thought that any further explanation as to the construction, operation, and objects of this invention is unnecessary.
lhile l have shown and described the preferred forni of my invention, I realize that various minor changes may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit and scope ot the invention as claimed, and therefore, I do not wish to limit myself to loi) 1U one ot' said errules, said clamping members being formed on their inner faces with a series of ridges for engagement with clothes on saidl line.
In testimony whereof, I have affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
MORRIS I-I AUSMAN.
Witnesses WM. D. VVATROUS, J. M. IIAUSMAN.
