Description
CLOTHESPIN Filed Aug. 2, 1954 f2; (j: I lnvefatof f ,Z Wan/2- ffa/znei] Patented Apr. 28, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
'Ihe present invention relates to new and useful improvements in clothes pins and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner hereinafter set forth, an article of this character embodying a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts through the medium of which the clothes will be rmly secured on the line.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a clothes pin which is permanently mounted on the line and which may be conveniently moved to any desired point on said line.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide a clothes pin of the aforementioned character which will in no way damage the clothes when engaged therewith.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a clothes pin which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efcient and reliable in use, compact and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent'fro-m a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of referenceV designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure l is a view in side elevation, showing a pair of clothes pins constructed in accordance with the present invention in operative or clamping position on a line.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view, showing the position of the pin just before it is moved to clamping position on the line.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of the pin.
Figure 5'is a view in vertical longitudinal section through an end portionv of the pin.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a substantially flat bar l of suitable material, preferably wood, having an enlarged or'thickened end portion 2. The free end of the portion 2 is beveled, as at 3. The bottom of the portion 2 of the pin has formed longitudinally therein a substantially V-shaped groove orchannel 4. The beveled portion 3 of the pin has formed therein a passage or opening 5 which accommodates the line 6 in a manner to permanently and slidably and rotatably mount the pin on said line. As illustrated to advantage in Figure 5 of the drawing, the passage or bore 5 extends at right angles to the groove 4 and communicates with said groove.
Formed integrally with the other end portion of thebar I is a laterally projecting lug 'l which is engageable beneath the line. The top of the lug 'l has formed therein a longitudinally extending, inclined groove or channel 8 for the reception of the line 6. The lower portion of the lug 'l is curved and inclined from the bar I to the outer end of said lug to facilitate swinging the bar l downwardly from the position shown in Figure 2 of the drawing to that shown in Figure 1 wherein the lug is engaged beneath the line. This substantially curved lower portion of the lug 'I is designated by the reference numeral 9. The reference numeral Ill designates an article to be secured on the line.
It is thought that the manner of using the clothes pin will be readily apparent from a considerat-ion of the foregoing. A portion of the article to be secured is placed over the line and the pin is swung to a vertical position on said line, as shown to advantage in Figure 2 of the drawing. The pin is then swung downwardly past the line in a manner to engage the article to be secured and said line in the longitudinal groove or channel 4 and the retaining lug is engaged under the line, said line seating in the groove 8. In this manner the article is firmly secured to the line, as is thought to be apparent. When the pin is in operative or clamping position on the line, it will be noted that said line passes downwardly through the bore or passage 5, then at right angles through the groove or channel 4, and then upwardly over the retaining lug l.
It is believed that the many advantages of a clothes pin constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although a preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim:
A clothes pin comprising a bar including a lateral enlargement on one end portion, the outer end of said enlargementbeing beveled, said enlargement having a substantially V-shaped longitudinal groove in the bottom thereof and further having a Vertical opening in the beveled end portion thereof extending at right angles to the groove and communicating therewith, said opening being adapted for the passage of a clothes line, the groove being adapted to receive the clothes line and an article to be secured to said clothes line, and a lateral retaining lug on` of said lug being inclined and curved from the bar to the outer end of said lug to facilitate engaging the same beneath the clothes line.
