CLOTHESPIN March 7, 1950 Filed Dec. 29, 1945 [,ycno X3523 MQ Patented Mar. 7, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to clothes-pins, particularly of the spring grip type.
Objects of the invention include the provision of clothes-pins of the class described embodying means to secure the sameto a clothes-line in clipping and slide relation thereto so that the clothes-pin will remain on the clothes-line at all times, means being provided for detachably securing the pin to the line and further means being provided for securin the clothes to the pin without being folded over the line.
Further objects of the invention include the provision of a spring type clothes-pin having means to suspend the clothes-pin from the clothes-line in combination with means for suspending the clothes from the clothes-pin, the spring lending a resilient clamping effect both as'to the clothes and the line.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation showing the new clothes-pin secured to a line in position to clip the clothes;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the clothes-pin in position to release the clothes; and
Fig. 3 is clothes-pin.
This invention comprises a pair of members l and I2 secured together in pivoting relationship by means of an intermediately located coil spring M, the latter having extending ends [6 bent around the elements l0 and I2 as at [8 to normally hold elements I0 and I2 in the position of Fig. 1. Elements l0 and I2 are provided with opposed angular faces 20 for easy insertion of clothes into the region of nip of the clothes-pin and elements [0 and I2 decrease in thickness toward the opposite ends thereof to provide space as at 22 for pivoting the elements apart with reference to the region of nip as shown in Fig. 2. It is preferred that one element should be provided with a projection 24 and the other element with a complementary depression 26 to better secure the clothes.
Element I0 is provided with an opening 28 for the reception of a projection 30 secured to or formed integral with the element [2 and extending therefrom toward element l0 through opening 28. The projection 30 is provided at its free end with a hook 32 and it will be seen that in normal condition, closed condition of the a view in front elevation of the new pin, the opening for the hook is closed, see Fig. 1; but when the elements l0 and I2 are squeezed to open the same, the opening for the hook is released, 1. e., moves clear of element In so that the clothes-pin may be applied to or detached from the clothes-line 34. However, as the clothes are applied to or detached from the pin, the latter will tend to remain suspended from the clothes-line and will not drop off. It will be clear that the new clothes-pin may be slid along the clothes-line to any position desired but at the same time will not fall from the clothes-line.
The pin comprising this invention may .be made from any material desired but it is preferred to mold the same of a moldable plastic material in which case the pin is practically indestructible and cannot be lost by dropping from the clothes-line.
I claim as my invention:
A clothes pin comprising a pair of one-piece members and a spring providing a pivotal connection of said members in normally closed gripping relation adjacent the lower end of the clothes pin, said members extending free from said pivotal connection in the same general direction in spaced relation to their free ends, one of said members having a projection on its inner face spaced from its free end and provided with a portion having a return bend toward the lower end of the clothes pin defining a downwardly extending hook, the other member having an opening spaced from its free end and receiving said projection with said downwardly extending hook projecting through said opening in position to engage a clothes line to attach the clothes pin thereto, said downwardly extending book also retaining the clothes pin on said line when said members of the clothes pin are manipulated to open the clothes pin.
