IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-PINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,022, dated July 27, 1875; application filed June 26,1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, URIAH D. MIHrLLs, of Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clothes-Pin, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved clothes-pin. Fig. 2 is a detail section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved clothes-pin, simple in construction and efl'ective in operation, holding the clothes upon the line firmly and securely, and without injuring them.
The invention consists in an improved clothes-pin, formed by the combination of the notched and slotted block, and the tapering key provided with a head upon each end, as hereinafter fully described.
A is a block of wood made somewhat in the form of a semicircle, and which has a wide notch formed in its convex edge. The corners of the notch in the block A are rounded out and enlarged to form seats for the clothes-line. The middle part of the block A is slotted longitudinally to receive the tapering key B. Upon the wide end of the key B is fornied a head, [2 to prevent it from passing through the slot in the block A.
Upon the narrow end of the key B is formed a head, W, a little thicker than the width of the slot in the block, so that the key B cannot drop out of the said slot, and, at the same time, thin enough to enable it to be forced through the slot of the block A without splitting the said block.
In using the pin the wide head b of the I key B is held in the hand, which allows the block A to rest upon the smaller head I) of the said key B. The notch of the block A is then passed over the clothes-line, and the key B is forced down, clamping the line between its edge and the side of the notch in the block A. The pin AB holds the clothes securely, whether they be thick or thin, and is, consequently, not liable to be broken when using it to fasten thick clothes upon a line.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent An improved clothes-pin, formed by the combination of a notched and slotted block, A, and the tapering key B, provided with a head upon each end, substantially as herein shown and described.
- URIAH D. MIHlLLS.
