CLOTHESPIN;
Application filed April 14, 1925. Serial No. 22,947.
This Ainvention relates generally to clothespins tor use in hanging clothes on lines, the invention having ifor an `object the provision oi a novel Jform oit clothespin that is carried permanently 'by the clothesline, and is movable thercalong, thereby facilitating the hanging o'f the clothes on the line and preventing loss of the pins.
-For Yfurther comprehension ot the invention and oit the objects and advantages thereot, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Fig. 1 0il the drawing is a 'tace view ot my in'iproved clothespin.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view thereon taken on the line 3-8 ot Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view oi. a clothesline having a series of my improved clothespins mounted thereon.
Fig. 5 is a face view showing a modified form of the pin.
Fig. 6 is an end view of my improved clothespin.
As here embodied my improved clothespin comprises briefly a main body formed with an aperture to receive the clothesline, legs or jaws projected from one side of said body, and a head or gripping element projected from the other side thereof. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 the main body consists of a pair ot disks 10 and 11 respectively that are in iiat contact one with the other. These disks are formed with central apertures 12 and 13 respectively that receive the clothesline 14. rlhe disks are held against transverse movement with respect to one another by means of an annular tongue 15 on the face o'i one disk that engages in a complementary groove in the adjacent face of the other disk. Each disk is formed on one side with a projecting jaw member, the jaw members for the respective disks being juxtaposed with respect to one another, and being indicated at 16 and 17. These jaws are normally held in closed position by means ot a segmental spring 18 that is located in an arcuate recess 19 formed jointly in the adjacent faces of the two disks, the spring being secured at opposite ends to the respective disks as indicated at 18 and 18,
ylfhis spring serves also to assist in preventing axial displacement-ot the disks from one another, acting in conjunction .with ,a pin 30 that is tixed in the disk 11 and projects through an i `cuate slot 21 in the disk 10 and has a het 2,2 that overlaps the edges of this slot.
rihese disks are provided, on the sides thereot opposite the jaws 1,6 and 17, with linger-pieces 211 and 25 that are adapted to he moved toward one another to open the jaws against the action ot the spring 18. The `linger-piece 24.- is iixed on the jaw 1() while the other linger-piece is movably mounted on the jaw 11, and serves as an operating handle for an element that grips the clothesline to prevent displacement or' 'the clothespin therealong. This element is in the i'form of a tl-shaped wire 28 that straddles the clothesline and is located in a suitable recess 29 formed jointly in the two disks. rlfhis wire is iiXed at one end to the member 10 while its opposite end is formed with an eye 30 to which the member 25 is pivotally connected. This member 25 is `formed on one side with an abutment nose 31 that engages the circumferential surface of the disk 10, and thereby prevents rotary movement oi' the member on the disk, when the two members are to be moved toward one another, while on its opposite side it is formed with a cam member 32 that bears on the disk 10 to bind the element 28 to thel `swung' on its axis to cause the element 28 to grip the line.
In Fig'. 5 of the drawing I have shown my improved pin in its simplest forni. As there shown it consists of a circular' body 85 'formed with an aperture 36 to receive the line and having on one side the projecting jaws 37 and on its other side a head 38.
Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new and desire tohprotect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows l. A clothespin comprising a body having an aperture to receive the clothesline, said body consisting of a pair of disks rotatable with respect to one another, jaws projecting Yfrom the respective disks, a spring urging said jaws to closed position, and lingerpieces projecting from said disks in approximate diametric opposition to the said jaws, and a member adapted to grip the clothesline to retain the pin against longitudinal movement on the said line, one of said finger-pieces being movable on its disk, and the said member being connected to the said linger-piece to be operated thereby.
2. A clothespin comprising` a body having` an aperture to receive the clothesline, said body consisting or' a pair of disks rotatable with respect to one another, jaws projecting from the respective disks, a spring urging said jaws to closed position, linger-pieces project-ing from the respective disks in approximate diametric opposition to the said jaws, one oil said finger-pieces being fixed to its disk, a U-shaped wire fixed at one end t0 the last named disk in position to straddle the clothesline, said wire having the other iinger-piece pivoted on its other end, and a cam element on Said last named finger-piece adapted to bear on the disk on which said finger-piece is mounted when said {ingerpiece is swung on its pivotal axis and thereby cause said wire to grip the clothesline.
in testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
