Description

Nov. 8, 1927.
A. S. LOVE FASTENER Filed April 12. 1926 Patented Nov. 8, 1927.
UNITED STATES ANDREW S.- LOVE, OF JERSEYTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
FASTENER.
Application filed. April 12, 1926. Serial No. 101,409.
This invention relates to an all metal fastener designed for use either as a clothes pin, paper clip or the like. one of the objects of the invention being to provide a simple and efficient device of this character which can be produced readily and which, when placed on a clothes line will be properly supported thereby and at the same time so held as to firmly grip a fabric inserted between opposed members of the fastener.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangementof parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the pre ferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of one side of the fastener positioned on a line.
Figure 2 is an edge view thereof, the line being shown in section.
Figure 8 is a section on line 33 Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a modificd form of fastener.
Figure 5 is a similar view showing another modification.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates an eye made up preferably of two convolutions of wire merging into a twisted stem 2. From this stem the wire is bent to provide two convolutions 3 and 4 the upper portion of one of the convolutions being designed to straddle a line L to which the fastener is applied. Both convolutions are provided with lateral offset portions 5 arranged directly opposite each other so as to provide spaces 6 for receiving the line 11. The lower portions of the convolutions are bent laterally to provide diverging lips 7.
In using this device the same is placed above the line L with the diverging portions 7 resting thereon. By then thrusting the fastener downwardly theline will spread the convolutions 3 and t apart until it arrives in position within the spaces 6 whereupon tl e convolutions 3 and 4; will move together as shown in Figure 2. Thereafter a fabric or the like to be suspended can be forced between the converging portions 7 so as to be gripped by the jaws formed of the convolutions 3 and 4. Excessive downward movement of the fastener on the line and con sequent wedging ofthe line within the fastener is prevented because of the fact that one of the convolutions extends over the line and prevents the same from becoming wedged in the lower end of the twisted stem 2.
Instead of forming the device as disclosed in Figures 1, 2 and 3 the same can be made of a central coil 8 from the ends of which are extended wire loops 9 providing, in the form shown in Figure 4 three convolutions 10. Both of the forms shown in Figures 4 and 5 are used on lines practically in the same manner as the fastener shown in Figure 1 or they can be used as paper fasteners for holding together sheets of paper. If used as a clothes fastener the line L is preferably threaded through one set of loops while the remaining set is used for gripping fabrics. Or, if preferred, the loops of one set can be caused to grip the line while the loops of the other set are caused to grip the fabric. 1
What is claimed is:
A device of the class described including a single length of spring wire bent to provide a coil consisting of two convolutions,
the terminals of the coil being crossed over the convolution therebetween and twisted together to provide a radially extended portion having an eye at its free end, the two convolutions cooperating to grip a line insert-e'd therebetween, a. portion of one of the convolutions being adapted to straddle the inserted line thereby to hold the line spaced from the twisted portion. there being offset line receiving portions in the convolutions.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
ANDREW S. LOVE.
