I It is thought that persons skilled in theart to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connectionv with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.
Minor changes in shape, size, and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual I claim:
V 1. A clothesline fastener comprising a relatively stationary jaw in the nature of a wooden block of elongated rectangular form having a line hole at its top and having its lower end tapered to provide a terminal gripping surface, a pair of bracket arms secured practice if desired.
,to the intermediate portion of said j aw and projecting laterally therefrom, a companion jaw in the nature-of correspondingly shaped wooden block having its intermediate portion pivotally mounted between the free ends of the bracket arms, the lower end of said second-named jaw being tapered and pointed to cooperate with the terminal end of the line, said second-named jaw having a hole adjacent each end and an intermediate hole forming a tortuous passage for the terminal end of the line.
2. A olothes'line fastener comprising a relatively stationary jaw in the nature of a wooden block of elongated rectangular form having a line hole at its top and having its lower end tapered to provide a terminal gripping surface, a pair of bracket arms secured to the intermediate portion of said jaw and projecting laterally therefrom, a companion jaw in the nature of correspondingly-shaped wooden block having its intermediate portion pivotally mounted between the free ends of the bracket arms, the lower end or" said seconc l11amed jaw being tapered and pointed to cooperate with the terminal end of the line saidLsecond-named 'aw havin a hole adjacent each end and an intermediate hole forming a tortuous passage for the terminal end of the line, together with aguide appliance comprising a carrier pivotally mounted on the first-named jaw, and a grooved pulley wheel on said carrier.
In testimony whereof-I affix my signature.
