Application fi1ed March 18, 1927. Serial No. 176,388.
This invention relates to certain improvements in clothes lines, but more particularly has reference to a commodity of this description that has a reenforcing element as a cena tral core, and a waterproof covering, and the particular object of this invention is to provide such a covering as will greatly aid in keeping clothes on the line and will cooper- 7 ate with the usual clothes pins so that the to latter will bind firmly on theline with no danger of accidental displacement.
Referring to the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of clothes line constructed in accordance with my improvement,
Figure 2 a similar view with the covering sectioned away and the wires comprising the core extending therefrom, and v Figure 3 is also a view similar to Figure 2 but showing the wires twisted together as they appear in the completed article.
Similar numerals of reference denote like parts in the several figures of the drawing.
The core or central portion of the clothes 5 line is formed of vegetable fiber, cord or'soft wires, preferably the latter, and these wires, denoted by the numeral 1, are twisted together into the form which is generally denoted by the numeral 2 and shown particularlv at Figure 3.
This twisted mass of wires is then covered in the usual manner bv an envelope of any suitable flexible composition, preferably rubber compound. denoted by the numeral 3. and during the process of covering, parallel flexible ribs or protuberances 4 are formed lengthwise of the covering, these ribs being continuous and extending throughout the length of the line.
The wire core gives great strength to the 40 line, while the covering renders the line waterproof and. is easily cleansed of dust by wiping it with a dry cloth along the. length of the line.
The ribs or protuberances 4 are flexible and exert a grasping effect on the clothes so that they will not readily slip from the line, and when the ordinary clothes pins are applied to hold the clothes on the line, these ribs or protuberances will yield to the action of the pins and by their resiliency will exert a firm binding effect on the latter so that the pins will not readily drop off the line.
What is claimed is 1. A clothes line comprising a strengthens 5E; ing core and a covering of waterproof material having flexible ribs extending from its periphery and lengthwise thereof.
2. A clothes line comprising a metal core and a rubber covering having extending to lengthwise throughout its periphery spaced flexible protuberances.
3. A clothes line having a continuous core of twisted wire strands, and a continuous waterproof covering surrounding said core and provided with a series of parallel, continuous and flexible projections that extend lengthwise of said covering.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature hereto.
