CLOTHES-LINE HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming` part of Letters Patent No. 281,260, dated July 17', 1883.
Appliemon nien May 25, 1853. (No model.)
ments in Clothes-Line Hooks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention has relation to improvements ic in devices for suspending clothes-lines; and
it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of a hook, provided with a screwthreaded shank, adapted to be secured to a support, all as will loeV hereinafter more fully explained.
The annexed drawing, to which reference is made, iul ly illustrates my invention, in which the figure of the drawing represent a side view of my clothesline hook. f
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawing, A designates the hook, and a is the shank, which is screw-threaded, as at b,where by the device is screwed into a support and held firmly in place. Said hook is constructed oi' one piece oi' metal, and the saine is bent at @,at the forward end of the shank, rearwardly and slightly upwardly, leaving a space, d, between the shank and portion e, when the bar oi' metal is again bent at f, with the portion g 3o extending forwardly, leaving a space, 71 between the portion e and portion g, and the saine is a third time bent, as at z', and terminating in a rearwardly upwardl)T inclined portion, k, leaving a space, I.
It will be seen that the spaces d h Z of the hook are wedge shaped, and that the clothes-line is placed in the space d and carried back over the portion e and within the second space, I1, and again over the portion y through the space Z, after which the line is drawn, and the same will be held firmly by the hook, as, the spaces being wedge-shaped, the tighter the line is dran-'n the same will wedge itself within said spaces, thereby dispensing with clothes props, and when the rope is wedged within the spaces the saine cannot slip, at the saine time it can be easily applied and detached therefrom, and it is cheap to manufacture.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
A clothes-line' hook formed of a single piece of metal, bent to form the two hooks, as shown, with the threeV intermediate wedge shaped spaces, adapted to receive and retain the cord, and provided with a screw-shank, all substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
