Application nga April 1s,
This invention relates to clothes ins of\ the two-arm forked variety,l the ob]ects yofA which are to provide a mouldedresilient fastener of the two-armforked variety; to pro- `5 vide a cleft fastener with the arms resilient- `ly abutting each other; and to provlde'a weather-proof fastener which is durable 1n construction and simple and inexpensive to manufacture. l
An illustrative'embodiment' of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which: f
Figure 1 is a side view oftheI clothespin in closed position with the clothesline in` J6 cross section. V
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig, 1, showing he clothespin partiallyplaced to a clothesne. i
LFi 3 is a view similar to Figs. 1 and 2,
20 showlng the clothespin in locked position on a clothesline.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the yline 4--4 of Fig. -3. (f
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the clothespin and line.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a pairI ofclothespins showing them holding a garment on a clothesline. f
Referring more in detail to the drawin a fastener or clothespin 1, preferably ma e of reclaimed rubber or the like, is cleft to form two arms 2 and '3, and is provided'with an aperture 4" terminating at the end of the cleft. The arms 2 and 3 are providedfat theirtps with mutually flared inner faces 7 formmg a guide to contact with the wire clothesline 5.
In operation one end of the article 8'to be hung is placed on a clothesline and the clothespin is placed in the position shown in Fig. 1 and pressed downwardly. The arms will then spread4 outwardly as shown in Fig.
2 and by further `downward pressure the clothesline will finally be forced into per-A foratory aperture 4 as shown in Fig. 3;
Smce vthe material formin the fastener is resilient the varms formed y the cleft are normally held in contact-with each other and any article placed in the cleft will be held l by the spring ofA thel material.' the im. semi u. someta article is laced over a clothesline and straddled by t e moulded clothespin, it will be firmly held on the line. To release the ar'- ticle the tips of the arms are forced away from each other and the clothes in lifted 55 upwardly.' The clothespin may t en be 're- 'Y placed on the line and kept there for future use.
The clothespin may be easily cleaned if .it becomes soiled, but the two inner faces of o the cleft will not become soiled under ordinar-y conditions as they abut against each other at all times.' l
Although but one specific embodiment of this invention Iis herein shown and described, it is to be, understood that details of the convstruction shown'may be altered or omitted without departing from thev spirit-of the invention as defined by the following claims; I claim: j 1. As an article of manufacture, a cleft moulded rubber fastener having substantially parallel resilient clamp arms yieldingly abutting eachother. p s
2.'Asy an article of manufacture, a cleft .5 moulded rubber fastener having substantially parallel resilient clamp arms yieldingly abutting each other, sald cleft terminating in a perforatory'a erture.V Si ed at Carbon, in t e county of `C511. so 'zlml2 tate of Indiana this 14th day lof'April, f 9 l l DAVID H.P COLLIER.
