Description
May 11, 1937.
H. GUIMONDI CLIP Filed April 6 1936 .4 TTORNE r s Patented May 11, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
The invention relates to clips and has for its object the obtaining of a simple construction applicable to various uses but more particularly designed to be used as a clothespin. To this end the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing: 7
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the clip in use as a clothespin for attaching a garment or other article to a line;
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof;
Figure 3 is a cross-section thereof;
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 3, showing the portion of the clip directly engaging the clothesline;
Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the method of forming the clip.
My improved clip is formed of wire having sufficient resiliency to permit of engagement with the articles to which the clip is applied and to clamp the same. In the method of manufacture I take a suitable length of the wire bending the same into an elongated loop A and joining the ends at a suitable point such as B, by any suitable means, such as butt-welding. The loop A is then return-bent in a transverse plane so as to form at opposite ends thereof pairs of loops C, C, D, D, the members of each pair being parallel to each other and transverse to the members of the opposite pair. This structure is then further fashioned to bring the parallel members of each pair in close proximity and with a portion intermediate the same, and the members of the opposite pair bent to embrace a clothesline F arranged in the plane of either pair of loops. Thus as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the portions E, E, E E are each bent in a plane diagonal with respect to the planes of both pairs of loops to form curved segments for embracing the clothesline F when arranged in either of said planes. The loops C, C, and D, D are also flared outward with respect to their respective planes, as indicated at G so as to facilitate engagement with the line.
With the construction as described in use, the
operator can grasp the clip and without looking at the same can engage it with the line and the article to be hung thereon. This is for the reason that the clip is double-ended, so that either end may be engaged with the line, the opposite end serving as a handle during such operation. When engaged with the line over which the garment or other article has first been placed, the point of clamping will be directly against the line, while the loop portions between which the line is inserted will be spread apart so as to be out of contact with the garment. At the same time, they will act as guides and as limiting stops which will tend to prevent whipping of the garment or the winding of the same about the line. This is a desirable feature as it restrains movement of the garment without danger 'of tearing at the point of clamping, or of marking at such point.
While I have specifically described the use of the clip as a clothespin, it is obvious that it is applicable to other analogous uses.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. A clip comprising an endless resilient wire having portions thereof forming oppositely ex tending pairs of loops parallel respectively to transverse planes, the portions between oppositely extending loops being contracted to form a clamp.
2. A clip comprising an endless resilient wire having portions thereof forming oppositely extending pairs of loops parallel respectively to transverse planes, the portions between oppositely extending loops being contracted to form a clamp engageable with an element between the loops in either plane.
3. A clip comprising an endless resilient wire having portions thereof forming oppositely extending pairs of loops respectively parallel to transverse planes, the portions between oppositely extending loops being contracted and bowed outward in planes oblique with respect to the plane of either pair of loops.
HENRI GUIMOND.
