2 Claims.
The present invention relates to a clothes pin and has for its prime object to provide a clothes pin adapted to be mounted permanently on the clothes line and to be ready for convenient and easy use.
Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a clothes pin of this nature adapted to firmly hold clothes on the line when properly associated therewith.
A still further very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a clothes pin of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its constructon, inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, easy to handle, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the above and numerous other objects in View as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation of a clothes pin embodying the features of my invention.
Figure 2 is a another elevation thereof taken at right angles to that shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the clothes pin, a portion of a clothes line, showing the clothes pin holding the clothing on the line.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a portion of a clothes line showing one of the clothes pins thereon and a casing therefor,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of the casing, and V Figure 6 is a perspective view of a cover therefor.
Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the clothes pin comprises essentially an elongated loop 5 through which the. clothes line 6 extends, an extension '7 on one end of the loop merging into diverging end portions 8 terminating in lateral terminals 9,. This clothes pin may be made in various different ways. In the embodiment shown herein the clothes pin is formed from a single strand of wire bent over upon itself so as to provide the loop, the extension 7 represents elongations of the loop portion soldered or otherwise fixed together as indicated at 10 and merging into the ends 8 and the terminal 9.
In Figure 4 I have shown a casing 10 with an opening for receiving the clothes line 6 and a cover 11 therefor also having an opening for receiving the clothes line. Obviously the clothes pins may be gathered in the casing 10 and the lid closed thereon when not in use or to protect them from the weather and the like.
In Figures 5 and 6 I have shown another form of the casing 10' which is detachable from the Nellie Combs 1933, Serial No. 683,689
clothes line because it is provided in its side with notches 14 in which the clothes line may be inserted and then the cover 11' engaged over the Now the clothes pin in actual use for holding I clothing on the line is illustrated to advantage in Figure 3 at which time it will be seen the loop is placed over a portion of the clothing and extending along the line and one of the terminals projected over the line. Naturally the more weight there is on the line the tighter the clothes pin holds and the more effort is made to release the clothing from the line by wind and the like the tighter the clothes pin holds. In fact about the only practical way of removing the clothing is to disengage the particularly engaged terminal by raising the same upwardly over the clothes line so that the clothes pin assumes a relatively vertical position.
It is thought that the construction, manipulation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.
The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.
It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. Y
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
1. A clot-hes pin formed of a single length of wire bent so as to provide an elongated loop and straight parallel extensions projecting from one end of the loop, the inner faces of said extensions being contiguous and permanently united so as to close said one end of the loop, and said extensions at the free ends thereof having lateral terminals projecting therefrom in reverse directions.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a clothes pin consisting of a relatively large loop at one end, said loop being substantially oblong in form, extensions integral with and projecting from one end of the loop, the inner faces of said extensions being contiguous and soldered together, and reversely extending terminals projecting laterally from and integral with the extensions at the ends thereof remote from the loop, said terminals being adapted for selective engagement with the clothes line as and for the purpose specified.
