F I INVENTOR United States Patent 2,947,052 V CLOTHES HOLDER Peter Michalsky, 197 Cambridge Ave., Garfield, NJ.
Filed Mar. 15, 1957, Ser. No. 646,354
1 Claim. (Cl. 24-139) This invention relates to a clothes holder or the like.
An object of this invention is the provision of a simple economical clothes holder formed from preferably a single piece of bendable rod of resilient material with holding loops.
A feature of this invention is the looping ends of the rod with one end having a double loop and the other end a single loop. A circular loop is provided in the center of the rod and equally spaced from the outer or end loops. These outer loops together with their associated arms are bent at the circular loop toward each other so that a portion of the single end loop is positioned within and between the encirclement of the double loops.
A further feature is the use of the circular loop being placed on a hook allowing the outer end loops for gripping.
The circular loop may also be made perpendicular to the outer end loops and this circular loop may also be encircled by a ring holding it together to increase the torsion.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 shows a side view of the clothes holder in open position;
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same;
Fig. 3 is a side view of an embodiment;
Fig. 4 is an end view of the embodiment of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
The holder is formed from an original rod blank designated as 14. A bending operation step forms a loop 1, 3 at one end of the rod. The same bending operation can place a loop at 3 substantially in the same plane as its terminal end. The sides of the loop 3 may be kinked together to form the desired eyelets final loop width.
Another loop 3, 5 is formed a small distance apart from the first loop 1, 3. These loops are alongside each other. The rod blank is bent at 5 so that it will pass through eyelet 3 on one plane then curved at 6. v
The rod blank is extended downward at 6 being substantially centrally to the outer loops 1, 3 and 3, 5 of HQQ the rod blank. A further bending operation makes a completely enclosed loop around to 7 substantially circular. The rod blank is extended downwardly from 7 and reversing its direction substantially towards the outer edge 9. The rod is bent to form a loop 9, 10 which loop is substantially aligned with the space between loop 1, 3 and loop 3, 5 so that in operating position it is positioned in this space.
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 3-5 the loops at the outer ends of the rod blank are identical to those in the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2. The rod has a bend at 11 and abend at 12 forming therebetween a double coil loop. Thereby portions 11 and 12 when bent are perpendicular to the plane of the original rod blank, and produce the torsion action for springiness providing pressure to secure intervening material or clothes from opposite sides. A ring 13 encircles both coils binding them together for increased torsion action. Electric welding together 11 and 12 would provide the same torsion action as does ring 13 which would then be dispensed with altogether.
The terminal ends 1 and 10 have their sides beveled by filing or compression pressure beveled to prevent catching on their sharp edges.
The loop 9, 10 is biased toward loops 1, 3 and 3, 5 so as to grip an article therebetween. These loops may be separated to form a gap 14 for receiving an article to be clamped.
I claim:
A clothes holder for resilient material comprised of a single resilient rod, said holder comprising a substantially U-shaped body, forming first .and second arms connected by an integral resilient coil extending more than 360 and biasing the arms toward each other, the end of said first arm having a portion extending back on itself forming a first loop facing said second arm, the end of said second arm including a portion extending back on itself forming a second loop facing the first loop, said second arm end portion further extending across and about the second arm, and extending toward the free end of the second arm to define a third loop alongside of and spaced from the second loop whereby the material may be clamped between said loops.
